1400 sq ft 2-level home with all modern conveniences (satellite TV, dvd/blueray, high speed WIFI, washer & dryer, hair dryer, iron & board, modern kitchen appliances including dishwasher and range with Induction cook top). It's perched above one of the most beautiful lake sites around: quiet and serene, off the beaten path but just a 10 minute drive from Soldotna. We are mid-way between the Kenai and Kasilof rivers - both world class fisheries, and a short scenic drive from charming Cook Inlet fishing ports: Homer, Deep Creek and Anchor River.
The main floor features a private master bedroom with queen bed, a full bathroom, an open combo kitchen/dining/living area, all with stunning lake views, and a deck, also overlooking the lake, with Gas Grill, 4 chairs with small tables.
Downstairs you'll find a bedroom with queen bed (lake view), a half bathroom, and a large bedroom/rec room, with tables, chairs and twin beds. A short downhill walk takes you to the lake shore, where you can hang out at the fire pit, with benches, or paddle the free canoe to explore Hope Lake, and smaller Ranchero Lake via a short canal. Wildlife is abundant in and around the lakes, and we can help you plan your adventures farther afield, including river and marine fishing charters, hiking, wildlife viewing, glacier/wildlife cruises and much more. The owners live a short distance down the lake shore through a small woodlot. They are long-time Alaskans with extensive knowledge of the Kenai Peninsula and many other parts of Alaska, which they love to share! If they are home when you arrive they will be happy to meet you and answer any questions you might have.

    Woodsy out of town location was sublime! The lake, canoe, fire ring, view….all favorite things of ours. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer. It’s a cozy, spacious cottage with everything we needed. The town of Soldatna was very enjoyable with the nicest people, and the wilderness explorations and hiking was the best. Bill was so helpful and kind…icing on the cake!

    Very nice . Four of us stayed at Hope Hide Away while on a five day fishing trip to the area.We had everything we needed and it’s relatively close to Soldatna.

    We stayed at Hope Lake Hideaway for four nights and it was a great base for our explorations of Kenai Peninsula. Bill gave use advice on hikes and told us cool stories. The house and grounds were the best accommodations we stayed at during our 2 1/2 week visit to Alaska; the hosts keep all in ship shape!

    Excellent views from the house and it was very nice to have a boat to use while we were there.

    We were very pleased with our stay. The home was well kept and had all the necessities. The beds were very comfortable. Seeing the lake every morning and hearing the loons was priceless. Just know that 2 of the bedrooms are in the basement.

    The cabin has everything that you will need, including a canoe, paddles, life jackets. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. It is a great place.

    Super glad that we chose this stay while on our trip. Was very close to our fishing charters and the city of Soldotna, while still giving you a feeling of being out in the wilderness. We loved the canoe and lake. Saw moose and loons. Overall, a superb stay.

    This is a great place to stay while in Alaska- far enough off the road to be peaceful and relaxing, but close enough to town for convenience and also somewhat centrally located on the Kenai peninsula. Sitting on the porch overlooking the lake in the morning and evenings was really amazing!

    My family and I had a great time. We seen a lot of wildlife and the view is excellent. The location is 10 minutes to Soldotna for local shops and restaurants. The host is great with communication and went out of his way helping us find a great fishing guide. We would love to rent this house on our next visit.
