Very cozy well equipped cabin in the woods. Hope is a quaint small town with the real Alaska feel. Maggie the owner, is a wealth of local information and just a great down to earth local lady with amazing stories to tell.We spent 3 nights, could have stayed a month.

We stayed here for one night in early June during a 10 day trip to the Kenai Peninsula. We booked several cabins but this was definitely our favorite. We truly enjoyed getting to know Maggie, the host, and got to spend some time visiting with her and her friends. It was a perfect way to end our trip. The cabin is spacious and sparkling clean. The bed is really comfortable and you have a view of the beautiful forest surroundings from every window. Hope has shopping (including a really nice art gallery), restaurants, fishing, wildlife viewing and really friendly residents. If you enjoy learning about Alaska history, you will really like it here. We will definitely stay again when we return to Alaska and will make sure to stay longer.

I've lost count as to how many times we have stayed here. This last time we stayed for 7 weeks from mid September to the first week in November. We are building a cabin not far from Maggie's BNB and the convenience was perfect. It has a full kitchen so we didn't have to worry about our meals. Maggie is so accommodating and helpful no matter what. She is the best!!!!! It's tucked into the woods and is so cozy. If you don't book here you are truly missing out. She is very firm on her no pets/no smoking policy and that is what makes this place great. I have allergies, so no worry here. Thanks again Maggie.

The Black Bear B & B was the perfect place for my husband and I and two friends before a hike on the Palmer Creek Trail. The living/dining room is quite spacious and comfortable for four people to hang out. There is a queen bed downstairs and a loft with two single beds. The refrigerator and cupboards were stocked with coffee, milk, juice, oatmeal, cereal, and yogurt. There is also a nice gas grill which we used to grill steaks. Maggie, the proprietor, is a delight.

Wanted to explore a new city and take part of being in our first Cabin! This Cabin was everything and more! full size kitchen, living room with TV (no cable) and DVD player. Nice wooden stove ( we didnt use) and Toyostove. Had a full bath and an upstairs place with 2 twin beds. Maggie came and gave us a quick tour of the grounds and she is literally a walk over the bridge to her home. She is a lovely and I cant wait to be back. She left us in the fridge yogurts, juices, 2 individual milk cartons, applesauce and 4 breakfast sandwiches in the freezer. Perfect for our company of 3 for breakfast the next morning. She had a cupboard of assorted teas, hot chocolates and coffee. She explained what was going on downtown and gave us the hint to go panning down in Resurrection Creek Trail. Hope is beautiful as this cabin was. Trying to get a way and disconnect from your busy life, this is that place to retreat to. 2 hours from Anchorage, 1 or so from Seward and Soldotna. This place is centrally located.
