Excellent location

Beautiful cabin with absolutely everything we needed and then some. We stayed as a family of 7. We only stayed for the weekend so we made the most of it . On the way to the cabin, we fished the Kenai river for silvers. Grandkids had a blast. The next day we spent most of our time in Homer, eating and shopping. We also did some fishing in Homer, but not much luck.

Perfect cabin for family and evening entertaining

This cabin was in a great location for all our day plans in Homer. 4 of us stayed in the cabinet, but we had 4 other friends over in the evenings for dinner. The space was comfortable and the deck was an added entertaining space that we loved.

Cool place--been to his property before, would not hesitate to return

Overall, very cool place. Simple. Clean. Everything worked. There are always little things with places like these--but its all part of the charm. Only thing that brought down the rating to a 4 star instead of 5 was the water heater/expansion tank (we assume) made a very loud knocking noise about every 5 minutes...24 hours a day. So if you are a light sleeper--you'll hate it. Otherwise, cool place. Alaska is always fun

True Alaskan atmosphere

This was a great location for everything we wanted to do on the peninsula. We traveled to Homer a few dates and then to Seward. The cabin was rustic and had the feel of “true Alaskan Wilderness”

Awesome cabin

We loved our stay at Wise Old Hunter Cabin. It is a beautiful log cabin about 20 minutes outside of Homer. Filled with the owners taxidermy which we loved but others might not. Has a great deck with a bar and grill to rest on after a long day. John was great to deal with and helped us book our fishing trip and an ATV tour. Only feedback I would share is that they have a water softening system that goes off whenever any water is used. It is VERY loud to the point that it woke us all up. Outside of that the cabin was really great and I would stay here again.

5 Stars for the Old Wise Hunter Cabin

What sets the the Old Wise Hunter Cabin apart from the ubiquitous cabin rental is the owner and builder's attention to detail. The cabin has an eclectic interior with stuffed animals as well as the stories of their hunt all nicely narrated in the cabin's manual. The cabin is also filled with everything you need for a few days stay, including coffee, teas, snacks, as well as a very nice laundry machine and dryer. We had 8 people stay there and we really loved the experience.

We enjoyed staying at the cabin. We had everything we needed and the washer and dryer was a lifesaver after being in Alaska so long. We were able to relax, cook and play cards with plenty of comfort to stretch out and enjoy the accommodations.

Rustic History in Amazing Log Home

This was a beautifully crafted log cabin that was well appointed and had great resources. The binder of information was very appreciated. It was fantastic to be able to speak to John who grew up in the cabin and gave more history to the Bear Paw development. The location in anchor point was perfect for our fishing trip in Ninilchik and visit to Homer. Thanks John

We only got to stay one night but it was perfect for our group of 5. The back deck is great for relaxing with a cold one after a day of sightseeing. The beds are comfy and the kitchen well stocked!

Old Wise Hunter lodge

We were lucky to find this amazing place to rent for the week in July 2016. The cabin was just perfect! We had never been to Alaska and planned the whole trip on our own so that we were able to do what we wanted. We went to Homer and went out fishing with Falcon Charters Captain Tony and had a blast. We did meet John Ogle and his wife that were both very nice! Alaska is a trip of a lifetime and so blessed our trip was perfect! Thank you John! Hope to be back to see you again soon!
