About this property

Unique Alaskan log home in trees & wild flowers on 14-acre private homestead.

The Moose Cabin, a uniquely Alaskan log building, was constructed along a well-used moose trail, using beetle-killed spruce trees. This private cozy cabin is located on an original Alaskan homestead that has been kept as natural as possible. The property is right in the middle of fantastic Alaskan adventures and scenery. You won't find a nicer or more interesting place to stay! You will enjoy use of the kitchen and watching the flat screen HD TV from the comfortable leather recliner furniture. And, relax on the BBQ deck while watching for moose and eagles among the spruce trees, alders and wildflowers.

Stays of 1 or 2 nights will be charged a one time cleaning fee of $40.

Great hideaway

Very cozy cabin with all the amenities. Fun decor. Very clean. Secluded but roomy and a great deck. Beautiful vegetation. Easy to find and enter. John was so helpful when we suddenly needed a baby bed! Made everyone's trip much easier.

Great cabin nicely located between Homer & Soldotna

Bulk of our stay was in Seward, but came over to this side of the peninsula for a couple nights. Was a great setup for 4 adults, with lots of room to stretch out and a full kitchen (well stocked, communal with guests before/after).

The location was good for us , somewhat remote yet close to homer. The snow covered mountains across

There are single beds only that we ended up putting two together which was great for us. The communication with John was great and very responsive.

Outstanding!

It was only a one-night stay but the Moose Cabin was just perfect - exceptionally clean, quiet, comfortable, and all amenities as promised. The cabin definitely exceeded our expectations. It's obvious the owner takes great pride in this vacation rental based on the well maintained condition of the property. Thanks for a great stay! We would not hesitate to book again and look forward to a future stay!

Property was acceptable although showing a bit of wear. Would be great for a stag group of four since there were only single beds.

Amazing getaway to Alaska!

My wife and I loved this cabin. It's fit our idea of Alaska perfectly and delivered! It's close enough to Homer to visit as often as you'd like but has a nice remote feel to it. The cabin is very well stocked and includes everything you'd need for your Alaskan adventure. John was great to chat with and more than helpful to us. We loved it! This goes down as the current leader on our epic adventures! Float planes, fishing, bears and a beautiful remote Alaskan cabin?! What else would you ever need?!

Deserves 10 stars

I wish 10 stars were a option. The cabin and property is absolutely amazing. Upon arrival the cabin was clean and spotless. The cabinets and refrigerator were stocked with a few needed idems that really came in handy. They are for you to use as needed, and just ask that you replace what you use with similar idems for the next guest. Cabin is rustic, roomy and very neatly built. It is perfectly secluded in the woods, giving you peaceful, quiet privacy for your stay. We never saw another person, but assistance would be right there if needed! The grill on the back deck is a life saver! We used it almost every night. It is conveniently located right off the highway and a very reasonable distance from Homer and Soldotna for activities.

Perfect stay for my wife and I

We chose this rental at the last minute due to an issue at another rental home and could not have been happier with our decision. The rental is very clean and cozy and in a great location. Close drive to Homer but what we really enjoyed was the beach area at Anchor Point. Tons of bald eagles and amazing views. Would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Alaska.

Great GetAWAY!

We did a family weekend getaway with my daughter visiting from Texas. It was great. The accommodations were clean, neat and well kept. We loved the warmth of the heater after a chilly day on the water. The perfect stay for an after fishing day!

Wonderful Awesome comfortable stay

My husband and I stayed for 5 days and loved every minute of the stay. So comfortable and all you need to cook and plan for your meals is right there. Beauty is all around you and the owners are very nice they were anxious to please you. The cabinets were even stocked with spices which made it nice for cooking there. We will return to Bear Paw to relive a great time. The Furniture was mostly made by the owners and his family. It is a great place to stay when in Alaska. There are so many things to do by just taking a short drive in most any direction.

Bear Paw Adventure - Moose cabin

This was a great vacation cabin. We couldn't have been more pleased with the accomodations and friendly service. We had a blast and caught our limits of Silver Salmon and Halibut.

About the host

Hosted by John Ogle

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 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.
