Sunshine House Bed and Breakfast

Welcome and thanks for stopping by. (last update: 8/March/2021)

   We can help you if you wish to go on wildlife/glacier tours in the Kenai Fjords National Park.  We are able to offer you a discount on any tour with Kenai Fjords or Major Marine.

We highly recommend for a more private tour Ressurection Bay Adventure Company owned and operated by Cliff Reid.  We have been out with him and loved it.

Sunshine House is operated by Marsha and Michael Gustkey and  our Cocker Spaniel, Butch the Wonder Pooch.

UPDATE:  Unfortunately, Butchie went away on an afternoon in November.  It was time.  It was the first time he didn't feel pain in a while.  So, while he is not here, he is here, if that makes sense.

Special thanks to the Gere family who sent us a watercolor painting of the silly damn dog.  My poem is on another page.  

Truly, we miss that guy, but are not at the stage where another can take his place.  Who knows?

I know we have said it before, but the best part of what we do here at Sunshine House is talking with people and listening to their stories during breakfast and when they are hangin' out in the great room.  

Covid has been a true *(*&^^ in the ^&%$#%).  We have changed things a bit.  We are using the table near the windows for breakfast instead of the counter.

We call it the Covid Corner and we are having people eat breakfast at different times.  This is such a bummer as a memory we have is the two couples from Italy who didn't know each other before they got here spent two mornings ignoring us, speaking Italian, and making plans to spend time together in Homer.  Great memories. 

We have also purchased a machine that makes HOCl that we use to disinfect surfaces.  

Please call Marsha to talk about availability.  Her number is 907-394-2013.  

Sometimes people call me thinking I know what is going on.  Seriously, people, Marsha is the one in charge.

Please also check our link, "services", for pricing information, which includes taxes and full breakfast.

What we offer:

• The Downstairs Room (blue) (pic #4) which includes:
• Private bath (attached to the room)
• Queen-sized bed
• Small refrigerator for drinks, dinner leftovers, etc...
• Full breakfast (We will do our best to accommodate your breakfast wishes, but it really helps us if we are aware of any dietary requirements prior to your stay: vegetarian etc...)
• Wireless Internet
• Satellite T.V.
• 800 sq ft deck for enjoying the weather
• Large common room with comfy furniture. (pic #3)
• There is no need to feel confined to your room during your stay.  Most of our guests, when they choose, spend time with us in the large kitchen room "hanging out" and exchanging stories!

• The Upstairs Room (periwinkle) (pic #5) which includes all of the above, but the bathroom is in the hallway and not attached to the bedroom.  The bathroom is private as those staying upstairs will be the only ones with access during the stay.  There is also a fridge in the room.

• The OTHER ROOM Upstairs (green) (pic #6) which we consider overflow (Suite) for groups that would like to have two rooms and share a bathroom.  The green room, however, does have a private sink in the room.  WE WILL NOT rent to different groups that will share the upstairs rooms.

• Our philosophy continues to be based on our enjoyment of  the intimate experience of one or two couples at a time here at Sunshine House.  Continued thanks to Bob, Kay, Todd and Christine from year one.   The small, intimate experience means more to us than "filling" the house with three different groups at a time.
• Marsha and I believe that we do our best for those who stay with us by keeping the numbers low so that we can spend more quality time with our guests.
• Our number one goal is to enjoy our guests and do the best that we can for them to make them feel comfortable and personally welcome during the stay at Sunshine House.
• Butchie totally agrees and gives it his stamp of approval!!!
