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.

Great location - great property

We loved being out away from towns but not too far to travel into Homer or take small drives to see wildlife near our location. Very comfortable and unique place to stay!

Just a pretty in person!

Such a lovely cabin. Had everything you'd need to make yourself right at home, even a few box fans tucked away for those of us from the lower lower-48!

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.
