Smaller property with cabins situated right on Bear Creek.. you can hear the water when you open the window. Most of the cabins are smallish but there is a few bigger ones in the back of property that look really cool! Now, these are "Dry Cabins" meaning no bathroom or sink inside but they had a great "Wash Hut" with two spacious bathrooms that seemed to be almost brand new. Cabins really have almost everything you need... Microwave, Fridge, Electric Heat, Wood Burning Stove, even a fan! I found the cabin to be very well appointed and they have free firewood to burn as well as little things like a good lighter and Smores setups for late night munchies. The lodge area with coffee shop was very convenient and has good coffee. The restaurant is also right there and gets pretty busy as there's not many options in Hope for food. Would definitely recommend this joint!! PS- Nice shampoo in the wash hut Talk later?

It is an excellent get away spot that is just right to relax and enjoy being in Alaska. The cabin is heated with a modern bathroom and partial kitchen. By partial kitchen I mean: refrigerator, microwave, sink and coffee maker. There is a gas grill on the front porch however. The cabin sleeps four with two in the master bed and two in the small single beds in the loft. There is also plenty of room for others to stretch out on the floor. The owner, Maggie, is very friendly and helpful. Hope, AK is small but is a very clean and nice historical town. Check out the Seaview Cafe for a great beer selection, delicious food and an amazing view. Definitely add the Black Bear B&B and Hope, AK as a side trip as you tour the Kenai Peninsula.

My husband went inside to check in and he said that the people there were incredibly friendly. The bar was filled with locals and it seemed like a great place to just hang out. Our room was really comfortable and pretty clean.The only thing that I noted was that there were a lot of cobwebs up on the ceiling, but I know that they were pretty high up there. The room isn't anything incredibly fancy.But for the price, it seemed really reasonable. The kids slept on the futon that pulls out. The futon does block the door just a little bit whenever you pull it out, but it wasn't enough to really cause a problem. Our bed was comfortable, although there was a little bit of light shining through the curtains all night, given that it was summertime and there was so much sun out.

They were fine for $8 on Wednesdays (Even in Alaska). Before finishing, I placed my card on the empty bar; still had to ask for the bill, and left the tip she earned. Just before we drove away, she came out the front door and her frustration stopped my friend from closing the car door; as she said, "For your information, normally you have to order a drink with the burger special!"

If you even call it an establishment. They keep trying to bring me towels when I say "no thank you please no thank you" they just leave the door unlocked and walk away leaving me barn door wide open while I'm asleep door not even halfway locked. Their fucking insane for doing that to me. When I have been out here more than 5 nights now and they still can't even seem to do their jobs correctly no matter how long you stay here. It's absolute disregard for the customer just for the job entitlement. And they cant even give me my 20 nights stay money back pre-deposited even though they keep on accusing me of smoking marijuana although I do own a medical marijuana card I'm not even smoking any weed honest to God. And I just wanted to go to the Ramada inn way nicer hotel across the street from the government hill bridge. I can't even get my deposit back to go to the Ramada inn. For my 20 nights stay booked in advance at the bird Creek motel inn. I just wanted to stay in room # seven or nine. Where previously was a couple of nights ago, Before the cleaning lady lost her mind and accused me of smoking weed as another false accusation. I'm being held hostage in a different room now unable to get my money back and I do want to be in this room anymore.

When we did arrive she had difficulty running the credit card through on her iPad and we had to wait while she called tech support. We booked 3 months in advance and she still didn't have check-in time or payment figured out.
