Wonderful family spot in Anchor Point
Captain Cook Lodge is an amazing place to stay! Beautiful building, immaculately decorated and maintained. We were really comfortable with our 3 generations (grandparents, mom and dad, and two littles). Communication with the Johns was great, and we saw moose the last night there!

No hot water in taps, no heating in home, we stayed there for one night… arrived at 10PM checked out at 11AM… did not use the kitchen much, still they charged us 61USD for cleaning.

Amit, I am so sorry that you are upset about the cleaning fee charge. Expedia does notify customers at the time of the reservation that this fee will be collected by the property owner. The charge pays for a part of our cost to assure that our buildings are sparkling clean for each guest. I don't understand your comment "no hot water in taps". The building has an on-demand water heater, and it was working fine before and after your stay. It provides an unlimited amount of hot water. Also don't understand "no heat in building" as there are two, energy efficient heaters in the building that are also working fine. They can be easily adjusted to operate at a comfortable temperature. Our written instructions in the building encourage our guests to contact us if they have any questions. We are right here on the property and ready to make your stay better than you expected.Again, I am sorry about the confusion concerning the cleaning fee.I hope you had a great visit to the Kenai Peninsula.

Has a lot of potential, setting is really nice.
We really enjoyed our stay in our cabin. I can see how it would be a good choice for people. The owner is most helpful, the place is clean and is well equipped. For me I would want to be a bit closer to town next time, there were x4 single beds and no double and whilst the lazy boy couch is a cool feature my wife does like to cozy up on an evening. All I am saying here is there may be other cabins with a different set up that may suit your needs better. Otherwise a great cabin and we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for staying with us in the Moose Cabin and for the great comments. Our location, 15 minutes from Homer, gives our guests a sample of natural Alaska, but gets them a little away from the busy commercial activities of the city. Moose Cabin is our smallest building and is a great choice for smaller groups. Some guests require the 4 twin beds. Our other 3 vacation homes on the property do have both twin and queen-size beds and offer a different seating arrangement in the family room.

Needs a hot tub. Lots of mosquitos. All twin beds, except one. Great place for a big group.

We're glad you enjoyed the Wise Old Hunter Lodge. We rarely have an issue with biting insects but there can be times when the Alaska mosquitoes and the no-see-ums can be pesky. A good repellent seems to be the best answer for that situation. We considered hot tubs but decided against that after researching potential hot tub health hazards, even with proper chemical additions. Try searching that on google. We hope to see you on your next trip to Anchor Point.

Best accommodates of the whole trip. The only problem was finding the cabin from the main highway. There wasn't a clear sign.

Hi Dan, so happy that you enjoyed your stay and we really appreciate the "best accommodations" comment. Sorry about the issue of finding the cabin. We do try to keep the property private. There is a large sign at the highway at our main entrance with our logo and name "Bear Paw Adventure" on it. But we rely on the check instructions sent with the reservation confirmation for informing our guests of their reserved cabin location.

Great hand built house. Had what we needed for everyone to be comfortable.
Response from John on Aug 31, 2018
Thank you for the comments and glad your group of 6 was OK with the two bathrooms and that everyone was comfortable.. Two baths can be more of an issue, for example, with a party of 10. We offer the option of reserving more than one building with a group that size, but some of our guests prefer the economy of booking just one building and working with the bath situation. A powder room is a great idea but the the floor plan doesn't offer much opportunity for that. However, we will keep that in mind.

We were delighted to find that the Moose cabin at Bear Paw actually looked better than the online photos! From the long covered walkway entrance, to the deck out back and spacious interior, this cabin was made to order. I would not change ONE thing about it!

A great place to stay in the Homer area
This is a gem of a place. We stayed at the Moose cabin the night before and the night after a day of deep sea fishing out of Homer. Bear Paw Adventure Cabins are easy to find and are within 2 minutes of a local grocery store and within 20 minutes of Homer. The rooms are clean and the cabin was spacious enough to give our family of 4 plenty of room. We used the kitchen to prepare a fresh halibut fillet -- there's nothing better than fresh caught fish after a day of being out on the water! (Recommend taking Dramamine which is available at the Homer Safeway for motion sickness as the waves of the Pacific can be rougher than the Atlantic!)

Beautiful solid home away from home
This was a perfect place for my husband, myself, and 2 children to run around and cook fabulous halibut and eat it on the porch. We went on an amazing bear flight and we were too tired to drive anywhere. John, the owner, was so kind to add us one more day after we had checked out. It was already cleaned and ready for someone new. John paid us a visit the morning before we left and he is a really nice and down to earth guy. The place is beautiful and homer has great restaurants and bear watching! I am sure there is much more that we did not discover! Thank you!

Bear Paw Works Especially for a large Group.
This is not a hotel in the ordinary sense of hotel This is a two story single family house fully equipped with kitchen, one and one-half baths, washer/dryer, dishwasher, full size stove, dishwasher and complete furniture package. We were expecting much less. Great base of operations to visit Homer area. Anchor Point is about ten miles short of Homer. No sign or maids, room service or any of that. We were a group of four adults and 4 kids. Everyone loved it. The gas grill on the deck helped with our dinners.

Very clean and easily accessible.
Making the reservations was easy with a quick response from the staff. Every question I emailed to them was answered immediately. The most surprising aspect was being given a door code to our cabin prior to arrival which completely eliminated the check in process (love that)! The cabin was roomy, reasonably priced fully equipped and very clean.
