Peaceful

Cute lil log cabin, cozy and homey. First picture on posting is of main house I believe, which houses the host/owners, which is not one of the rental cabins. Bear den does not have a view to volleyball court. Regardless, beautifully maintained property.

Everything was as advertised

The property has everything you will need. It is close enough to town. But far enough out that you don’t run into tourists.

Bear Den

This is a great place for large families. Large open kitchen/dining/living area. Real beds for 9. Bedroom on main room for elderly guests. Beautiful lawn and deck. Very clean and well maintained. Easy drive to Homer. Only negative is that it’s close to the highway and can hear road noise when windows are open. We really enjoyed our stay!

Anchor Point-Homer AK

Excellent choice for our stay in Anchor Point and a good place to come back and relax after our bear viewing and fishing trips in Homer. Very clean and plenty of room for our group of 6 adults - plenty of room for larger groups in a very quiet location.

nice cabin

It was a nice cabin to stay in. Plenty of space for everyone to comfortably hang out. Woke up to a mom and baby moose in the yard, so that was a big hit for visiting family.

Family Fishing Fun

John, on site, was great at responding to questions and needs. Our group actually rented two cabins and we all had a fantastic time. Be sure to read the notebook with do's & don'ts. The property is beautiful, be sure to take a walk around. The pictures show a daybed in the living room but that has been removed. Thanks Bear Paw Adventures for a great vacation!

Great place!

Our stay was amazing! Admittedly we spent little time in the cabin as there is so much to see and do nearby. Cabin was extremely roomy, but a bit disjointed. This would be an amazing place to stay with kids.

About the host

Hosted by John Ogle

Host profile image
Bear Paw Adventure is a family owned and operated lodging and adventure service. Your host, John lives on the property and he is at your services during your stay. John has lived in Alaska since 1984, has operated both commercial and sports fishing services, has extensive experience in the Alaska outdoors, and is a great Alaska adventures resource for guests. Reservations for Bear Paw adventure are managed by John, SR from the Bear Paw Adventure reservation office in Texas. In addition to operating Bear Paw Adventure, the family has interests & hobbies that include hunting & fishing, camping, hiking, boating, wildlife viewing, birding, gardening, log work (both log building construction and log furniture making), photography, geology, the environment, hunting for gold, snowmobiling, traveling Alaska, art, collecting (coins, rocks, stamps, fossils, etc), Alaska Native culture, and just about anything else associated with the outdoors or Alaska. Bear Paw Adventure engages in environmentally conscious cleaning practices and is a member of Adventure Green Alaska.

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 those 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. 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 décor 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 to their own private Alaska at Bear Paw Adventure. For those who come to Alaska to enjoy nature, this is the place to stay.
