High in the hills above Homer is this charming German-themed B&B. It features several cottages hidden away in the trees that are ideal for a small family. Rooms include a queen bed and twin bed, along with furniture built by the owners. The award-winning gardens are a big highlight, and you’ll be encouraged to enjoy the several acres of flowers, fruit, fountains, walkways and stunning panoramic views of Kachemak Bay. Brigitte, who is originally from Germany, serves up one of the freshest, heartiest breakfasts in Homer. Homemade sourdough bread and jams, blueberry waffles, smoked salmon, omelettes with homegrown eggs, Swiss muesli and fresh fruit salad will fill you up until dinner. There aren’t a lot of other amenities here. It’s simply a unique and beautiful accommodation.
Brigitte’s Bavarian B&B is located 5 miles from downtown Homer. In 15 minutes you can be on Bishop’s Beach, or touring the Alaska Islands and Oceans Visitors Center. There are nature trails, where you might see a moose or bald eagle, that lead to wetlands and tidal pools right in the heart of town. Twenty minutes from your B&B, you can be hitting the shops and restaurants on the Homer Spit, or boarding a whale watching cruise at the harbor. Homer is the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World, and the harbor is also the place to hire a fishing charter. After a long day of exploring, Brigitte’s Bavarian B&B is a warm and inviting home for the night. The beautiful gardens, unique furnishings and home-cooked breakfast make it a good choice for your family vacation to Homer.
