Pat the owner was hospitable and friendly. We had a nice, quiet, and comfortable room. Breakfast on both days was delicious with a variety of food. First...follow the directions on the website. We got lost using our cell gps. After pulling into the drive way the gps directed us to, and knocking on the closest door a nice naked lady gave us directions (yep she was naked , but thank goodness for a wooden door---her cat was clothed though, it wore a bell around its neck.) we arrived at the Spyglass Inn. Chipotle Blueberry jam, nutty, home made granola toasted oak brown, and goat yogurt. Not made from goats of course, but goat's milk. Breakfast was one of the delights of this lovely little BnB. My husband selected this location, and I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes BnBs can be a bit of an adventure not always for the good. Practical points? Private room/with bath/commode across the hall. The room is appointed with an easy chair, a night stand on the right side with a lamp, a closet, a tv with satellite reception, two windows with dark shades, and a gas heater. You will "drown" in the pile of sheet, comforter, quilt combination and sleep soundly. The bathroom has a sink, commode, and tub shower combination. Hot water in abundance. I'm a fan of hot water. I took too many cold showers working in camps ages ago, so hot water is important to me. Breakfast is a feast of (locally laid)-- eggs made to order, bacon, a variety of locally produced goat milk cheese and yogurt, and a selection of locally lovingly handmade jams. Oh, I almost forgot, our hostess make her own granola. Parking can accommodate 2-3 regular vehicles or one or two motorhomes in my opinion. You are only a few blocks walking from Pioneer ave. Not the main drag, but an avenue with numerous coffee houses, gift shops, art galleries, restaurants, and even two drinking establishments. If you are up for a colonoscopy or botox injection, there is a clinic about a block and a half away. No kidding. I'm not recommending here, just reporting. Our hostess, Pat provided spot on recommendations for items we were looking for...aprons and notecards that would serve as gifts for family. If you stay over the weekend, be sure and visit the Homer Farmers Market. Oh my oh my...fresh oysters, seafood chowder, and all manner of handicrafts. Did I mention the fresh eggs and blue berry jam? Go ahead, buy the eggs. YOu can get them home without refrigeration as long as you don't wash them first. ONce you wash them they need refrigeration. I mentioned a quilter lives here. Indeed, Pat the owner, is a dedicated quilter with one whole section of her home dedicated to this traditional art. All of her rooms are graced with her creations. Pat is a gracious host. Breakfast was deliscious and she went out of her way to accomodate our tastes. The rooms were clean and personalized with her hand made quilts. Definitely a nice quiet place to stay when in homer. We had a wonderful 2-day stay with Pat at the Spyglass Inn. Breakfasts were delicious, with homemade granola, goat cheeses and yogurt, as well as more familiar cow's milk yogurt and cheese, scrambled eggs and sausage or bacon and fried potatoes. Homemade bread with an assortment of amazing jams and jellies and baked goodies such as blueberry clafouti and banana bread finished breakfast on a sweet note. The B & B was convenient to downtown restaurants and museums and had a pretty view of the bay from the deck, which all guests are welcome to use. Pat was knowledgeable about the area and helped us create a Plan B when our day of sea kayaking was cancelled due to wind. We loved Pat's hospitality, including sending us off with a bag- breakfast for our early morning bus departure. My new life dream is to have Pat cook for me every day. The food-smells when you walk in is tantalizing. And Pat and Arden are so sweet and hospitable!! I have a lot of allergies as well as chemical sensitivities, yet I didn't have any problems there. The place is clean, yet does not have "chemical" smells. They don't own cats or dogs, and I noticed that her laundry soap doesn't have synthetic fragrances! The only smell in that cozy house is amazing fresh hot FOOD!! Also, if you're into fabric crafts, this is the place to go. The quilts on the beds are all made by Pat and reflect "Alaska" themes. If you want to feel "at home" like you never have before, stay here. Oh, and Pat has lots of great "inside information" on local events and services!
