"This was the best place to stay in Homer. I have been here 2 different times and plan to return. The location is walkable and bike able into town or to the Homer Spit. The views of Kachemak Bay and the mountain backdrop is breathtaking from every room. Lori, the owner, has created a very comfortable place to stay while visiting beautiful Homer, Alaska."

Answer #2: The bears in the photo are brown bears! This is only evident by noticing their coastal location in the picture, which was taken in Hallo Bay in Katmai National Park.
