About this property
Base Your Alaskan Adventure On A Private, Motor-free Lake!
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 usually meet you and answer any questions you might have.

About the host
Hosted by Bill and Suzy Larned
Suzy (Montessori teacher) and Bill (recently retired Wildlife Biologist/Pilot) moved here in 1984 with 5 kids, and "the intervening years have spun by gloriously, with no regrets leaving the east coast! We fell in love with the dramatic Alaskan Landscape, its incredible wildlife, and its warm, sporty and diverse population. We often look at each other and chuckle at how lucky we were to find our perfect niche here on Lake Hope.
Our activities include cross country skiing, skating on our lake, hiking and camping with friends and family, shows (local and Anchorage) Music (Bill is a guitarist and singer), fishing, hunting, and traveling (to see our far-flung family, scuba diving in warm waters, and some overseas). We're active with local non-profits.

Why they chose this property
We provide everything you need for a cozy stay, immersed in the ambiance of wild Alaska, but just a 10-minute drive from a friendly town with plenty of well-stocked shops, restaurants, bars, frequent sport and cultural events, and complete emergency services if needed.
What makes this property unique
The property overlooks a quiet, pristine 23 acre lake, with a few lovely homes that fit nicely into the forested surroundings and spaced for privacy. An easy 9 mile drive takes you to the town of Soldotna, with plenty of stores with food, hardware, and gear for your Alaskan adventures. We provide safe canoe with equipment for a quiet paddle around Hope Lake and a smaller adjoining lake, and a fire pit with benches to toast marshmallows and watch for loons, other waterfowl, Moose, and other wildlife and fish. The lakeview 2nd floor deck is a perfect place to have morning coffee, and/or rest in the evening from your daily activities.
