The Best Hotels in Homer

Halibut Cove has no road in, so you arrive by floatplane or boat, which does set expectations. Stillpoint is an upscale wilderness lodge built from local Alaskan timber, its cabins rough-hewn on the outside and surprisingly plush within, with big beds, serious baths, and porch views that make the hot tub feel almost redundant. All meals are taken here, which suits a place where "popping out for dinner" is not an option. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.

Five cabins on a bluff above Kachemak Bay, each named for a local creature and built to match its personality: the Wolf's Den goes underground, the Puffin leans yurt, and the Eagle's Nest stays reassuringly cabin-shaped. This small collection of rentals comes with kitchenettes, BBQs, and views that do most of the decorating. A shared hot tub sits on the property for when the scenery stops being enough. The Michelin Guide has selected it among its hotels.
