The Homer Seaplane Base is located right on Beluga Lake in the Heart of Homer. Offering six cabins, and four suites, we provide guests the unique opportunity to stay at a fully functioning seaplane base. Guests are encouraged to visit our on-site restaurant, " Water Rudders,” which offers a wide selection of beer, wine, and delicious fare. Guests looking for a bit of adventure should contact our partner Beryl Air, located on-site, just steps away from your front door.

Please feel free to contact us by messaging, text, phone, or email. If you need anything, we are happy to help. Should you need assistance in person, you are welcome to stop by the Beryl Air Office (located on-site) during regular operating hours.

The Homer Seaplane Base is the perfect home base for your Homer adventure and beyond. Located right off Ocean Drive, we are situated between the famous Homer Spit and downtown. Close to fishing tours, floatplane adventures, restaurants, shopping, groceries, and more. While on-site, please feel free to visit Water Rudders, our on-site restaurant where you can expect delicious food and a great selection of beer and wine. Beryl Air, our local floatplane partner, is also on-site and available for all your adventure needs.

The cabin is private and entirely yours during your stay. You will check yourself in using our keyless entry keypad located on the front door of the cabin. Please note you must use stairs to access the entrance of the cabin. You will also use stairs to access the common areas around the property. Parking is available in our dedicated gravel lot. We encourage guests to park at the top of the lot near the road. However, we ask that you do not block the dumpster. The Fireweed cabin is the red cabin located at the bottom of the east driveway. There is a sign near the front door that indicates "Fireweed Cabin".

Our Fireweed Cabin offers a queen-size bed in the bedroom, providing accommodations for up to 2 guests. The cabin is equipped with one bathroom. The ensuite bath is furnished with a walk-in shower, washer, and dryer. The cabin also offers a spacious open kitchen, including a stove-top with oven, fridge, 12-cup drip coffee maker, and basic cooking essentials. The sitting room is equipped with a cozy couch, dining table, and Smart TV. Watch the floatplanes take off and land from the comfort of your living room or from your private patio.

The Homer Seaplane Base is conveniently located between the Homer Spit and downtown. Homer is accessible by car, plane, or boat—a popular destination for cruisers, aviation enthusiasts, RV’ers, and landlubbers. Homer offers a variety of transportation options, including rental car facilities, taxi service, and of course, fat bikes. The Homer Airport is located within two miles of the seaplane base, and you will be close to all dining, shopping, and tours.

Amazing stay at beautiful place!

This is a “must-do” when staying in Homer! The seaplane base is so clean, quaint and we’ll appointed! And to be able to watch the planes coming and going is especially wonderful. Highly recommend this fantastic place!!

Great Place

Awesome location, clean, brand new construction (or sure seems to be!) and well thought out design. Will probably bring friends next time and check out a 2 BR unit.

Modern and comfy

The cabin is very nice, modern, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed the morning sounds of float planes taking off. We LOVED this setting.

Home Sweet Home(r)!

This is an ideal spot for exploring the Homer area. Easy to get onto the Spit and into downtown. It’s tucked back off the Beluga Lake, making for stunning views and zen relaxation. Amazing close-up experience of the seaplane base—absolutely unique perspective. Buildings are new, clean, and well-maintained. A truly top-notch find. Sadly, I had a work call during the trip and can attest that the WiFi is solid— multi-hour zoom call with no hiccups. Book it!
