Right on Point

We enjoyed our stay at the Captain Hook Lodge--cabin was very clean and well stocked, and while we didn't cook--I did note the kitchen was well equipped. Communication with John was great, and he went above and beyond to assist us with an issue not related to the rental. The location was perfect for us as we had a fishing charter booked in Ninilchik and also wanted to spend time in Homer.

Alaska is beautiful

Good proximity to homer. There are numerous homes on his property. Upstairs toilet didn’t work but we were able to manage. It was a little hard to find. Instructions said there would be a big sign on the building. All we could find is a little sticker on the door about the size of your thumb. Haha. Again—we managed. No big deal. Would stay again.

Lovely property

We love coming to Homer for an annual family trip each year and this spot did not disappoint. The upstairs area is a large space with 5 beds all in one open bunk area with one bathroom. The house was clean, well stoked, and perfect for what we needed for a weekend fishing trip.

Nice place, great having a coffee maker. Upstairs bed was not comfortable, and the linens should be replaced. Very comfortable living area. Only spent one night, so didn’t have a chance to enjoy the deck.

Beautiful cabin

The cabin itself is beautiful! The location is only about 15 miles from Homer, AK, and in the woods, but literally right off the highway. While there are trees obscuring the cabin, the highway noise was very loud, especially during the summer tourist season. Being a log cabin, you don't have the standard insulation that would have helped with the noise level. Great layout, but would have been nice to have private access to the bathroom from the master. As it is, you have to cross the hall to the bathroom. Not a huge deal as we were with family, but would have been nice if the bathroom were connected to the master. The kitchen seemed well equipped, though we did not use much. They also had a lot of the necessities like flour, sugar, and coffee, and even had popcorn and pancake mix, mayo, ketchup, etc., though I would be hesitant to use anything was already open which most of these items were. The furnishings were just okay. The living room had theater style sofa and loveseat (built-in drink holders with recliners on each end) and a broken recliner. The recliner was fine to sit it, but the reclining mechanism didn't work. My husband got it open, but the footrest was broken on one side, so we ended up not being able to use the recliner portion of that chair. Our biggest complaint is the linens. The towels and washcloths were stained - looked like someone had cleaned muddy boots with the washcloths. The bedding definitely needs to be replaced. The sheets on the downstairs bed where we slept were "pilly." You could feel the pills (bump like) on the sheets and the comforter either had stains or was not clean. My sister-in-law said the same was true for the upstairs queen bed. Personally, I prefer crisp white linens, so that I can see whether or not they are clean. The blankets did not have a good feel to them. I guess I'm a bed snob - I want luxury linens and good pillows. The pillows were flat. So, between the traffic noise and the poor quality linens, I probably would not stay there again unless I knew these items had been upgraded. The road noise, while annoying, did quite down after about 10pm. Nice looking cabin - just needs a few things!

Why they chose this property

Bear Paw Adventure’s unique log buildings are situated on 14+ acres of an old homestead site. This use of the property is the first since the homestead days. We have attempted to keep the site, to the extent practical, as we found it. Evidence of the homestead activities can still be seen on the land. The slope of the land protects the property, to some extent, from the brisk winds off Cook Inlet. It is a nearly wild site with lots of spruce trees, alders and wildflower and a great place to watch for moose, eagles, ravens and other wildlife.

What makes this property unique

The 14+ acre property offers are a great sample of real rural Alaska and the full-scribed log buildings with their Alaskan decor provide interesting and comfortable one-of-a-kind lodging. The busy tourism centers in nearby communities are within easy reach so that guests can enjoy those activities and then retreat their own private Alaska at Bear Paw Adventure. For those who come to Alaska to enjoy nature, this is the place to stay.
Bear Paw Adventure offers uniquely Alaskan, first class lodging, located right on top of Alaska’s best fishing, exciting adventures and fantastic scenery.
This 14+ acre homestead property is near historic Anchor Point, Gateway to Kachemak Bay, on the west side of the Kenai Peninsula – a 4-1/2 hour drive from Anchorage.
The busy tourist centers of Kenai and Homer are minutes away for you to enjoy and then return to this quiet Alaskan environment. Moose, eagles, and ravens are frequently seen among the spruce trees, alders and wildflowers on this homestead that has been kept as wild and natural as possible.
