ART THAT CATCHES THE EYE

Great Alaskan Art


Alaska. The Last Frontier. Land of the Midnight Sun. Filled not only with wild beauty and unique wildlife, but amazing people, as rugged as the landscape. Using the wilderness and the natural resources as inspiration, Alaskan artists create magnificent art.

We have partnered with talented Alaskan artists to offer unique Alaskan gifts to our guests, as well as the opportunity to discover your own artistic center through custom art classes offered during your stay. Entirely voluntary, you can explore and develop your own creativity with the guidance of celebrated Alaskan artists.

Homer itself is a mecca for local artistry, and there are a number of galleries both on the Homer Spit and downtown. We invite you to soak in the talent and beauty of the Alaskan people.

Every detail... it's hard to explain how intricate and awesome they did on making this place! It's so peaceful! The views are remarkable. You can truly relax here. Thank you so much!!

Can you say....A DREAM!? I'll keep re-living this get away until I get to come back again! Every last detail is amazing, along with the staff that helped make our trip go even more smoothly with food in our bellies along the way! A bonfire by the ocean at night while the tide was going out couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you for making a dream of yours into one of mine!

This home is truly a masterpiece pointing us to the world of a child's imagination. Every detail is so thought out, every inch carefully crafted and the artistry sings something glorious, launching one into the joyful, recollection of their childhood play. It inspires us that beauty still exists in this world and that we are all just big kids needing to be loved and sometimes reminded to have fun!
