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.

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!

Good proximity to homer. There are numerous homes on his property. Upstairs toilet didn’t work but we were able to manage. It was a little hard to find. Instructions said there would be a big sign on the building. All we could find is a little sticker on the door about the size of your thumb. Haha. Again—we managed. No big deal. Would stay again.

We love coming to Homer for an annual family trip each year and this spot did not disappoint. The upstairs area is a large space with 5 beds all in one open bunk area with one bathroom. The house was clean, well stoked, and perfect for what we needed for a weekend fishing trip.

Nice place, great having a coffee maker. Upstairs bed was not comfortable, and the linens should be replaced. Very comfortable living area. Only spent one night, so didn’t have a chance to enjoy the deck.

Beautiful cabin

Beautiful cabin

The cabin itself is beautiful! The location is only about 15 miles from Homer, AK, and in the woods, but literally right off the highway. While there are trees obscuring the cabin, the highway noise was very loud, especially during the summer tourist season. Being a log cabin, you don't have the standard insulation that would have helped with the noise level. Great layout, but would have been nice to have private access to the bathroom from the master. As it is, you have to cross the hall to the bathroom. Not a huge deal as we were with family, but would have been nice if the bathroom were connected to the master. The kitchen seemed well equipped, though we did not use much. They also had a lot of the necessities like flour, sugar, and coffee, and even had popcorn and pancake mix, mayo, ketchup, etc., though I would be hesitant to use anything was already open which most of these items were. The furnishings were just okay. The living room had theater style sofa and loveseat (built-in drink holders with recliners on each end) and a broken recliner. The recliner was fine to sit it, but the reclining mechanism didn't work. My husband got it open, but the footrest was broken on one side, so we ended up not being able to use the recliner portion of that chair. Our biggest complaint is the linens. The towels and washcloths were stained - looked like someone had cleaned muddy boots with the washcloths. The bedding definitely needs to be replaced. The sheets on the downstairs bed where we slept were "pilly." You could feel the pills (bump like) on the sheets and the comforter either had stains or was not clean. My sister-in-law said the same was true for the upstairs queen bed. Personally, I prefer crisp white linens, so that I can see whether or not they are clean. The blankets did not have a good feel to them. I guess I'm a bed snob - I want luxury linens and good pillows. The pillows were flat. So, between the traffic noise and the poor quality linens, I probably would not stay there again unless I knew these items had been upgraded. The road noise, while annoying, did quite down after about 10pm. Nice looking cabin - just needs a few things!

We spent two nights here. Overall nice experience. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. Not much to do around, and walking outside leads you to other properties. On our first night I called John and asked about a bone fire which our kids really wanted. He suggested that we don’t do it without him arranging a pit and that he should be able to arrange for it the next night. I texted him the following day and we never heard back. Kids were disappointed.

Two words.....Absolutely Outstanding!

Two words.....Absolutely Outstanding!

Everything about our stay here was outstanding. We felt we had the seclusion and privacy we were looking for, yet we were not far away from everything we wanted to see. The cabin was even better than we expected, and we expected a lot. It is very well furnished and everything....furniture and appliances...look new. The cabin is very well kept, and expertly designed and built by John Ogle. John is a master craftsman he went to great lengths to make this cabin an incredible work of art. And John couldn't have been nicer as our host. He is a fascinating person with many talents and we greatly enjoyed meeting and talking with him. He is definitely a 5-Star host, and he gave us such great tips about exploring the area. We love wildlife and it was such a treat to have two moose wander all around our cabin and one even laid down and slept right in our front yard! Without any hesitation I give this cabin and host FIVE STARS. We had a wonderful vacation, and we THANK YOU, John.

Everything was perfect. The cabin is beautiful with amazing woodwork and everything to make our stay comfortable and memorable.
