Hope is a small historic mining town that has evolved into a outdoor recreation wonderland. With multiple guided and non guided activities in the area, it’s a perfect base to explore Alaska’s famous Kenai Pensiula. We provide two mountain bikes to explore the numerous trails accessible from the bus. Town is about a 3 minute drive or a 10 minute bike ride from the bus. There is a bar, a cafe and coffee shops in town.
The Bus area is located on the front part of our property. There is also a cabin next door for rent and an unoccupied cabin on the other side of the Bus. Our house is at the back of the property, beyond the old cabin is out of bounds.
The neighborhood
We are in a local Alaskan neighborhood where you will most likely run into our neighbors – everyone is very friendly and always up for a chat so please enjoy being apart of our small community!
Getting around
Hope is a very small community where most people ride a bike or walk to get around. We highly recommend renting a car to get to Hope and to make the most of your stay in Alaska. There are lots of walking trails to get around the Hope community and we provide a couple of bicycles if you would like to do things the locals way!
Other things to note
We just like to make people aware that this is an eclectic, vintage bus you’re staying in and whilst it is very comfortable staying in this bus it isn’t for everyone so please consider this before booking. We have a big, friendly white dog who is on the property and always up for belly scratches and ear rubs! Hope has a small general store but if you plan on cooking/eating in please bring your own food.
