We chose Moonshine as our "hang out point" because it has a great living and dining area that easily accommodated our group of 9. (Most wanted their own rooms, so we rented a nearby spot for extra bedrooms.) Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare full meals. Easy walk or drive into the heart of Hope. We LOVED it! Will likely send friends and be back for another stay!

Great location and great recommendations for local hikes. We fished out of Soldotna and Seward. Caught and released 60 + salmon right in town

Beautiful Cabin, Resourceful Host
Beautiful Cabin, Resourceful Host
My family and I enjoyed our quick retreat to this cozy, comfortably cabin in Hope. Our host gave us plenty of tips on how to maximize our stay in this quaint little town. We enjoyed the museum, coffee shops and even ended our stay with some live music down by the water. We would gladly recommend to family and friends to stay here.

This house was wonderful! Very clean and stocked with anything you think you may need. The host was very informative and helpful. The little town of Hope was cute and quiet during the week. Friday night we went to a local cafe for live music and wine. We hiked Hope Point and just enjoyed the area. Seward was close enough to drive to for the day. I was very pleased with my stay at this property and would highly recommend it.

This property is very clean and well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked (plenty of pots and pans, dishes, sharp knives, etc.). It’s in a beautiful, peaceful place. We will look forward to coming back.

My brother and sister in law come to Anchorage to visit us every two years and our favorite place to go is Hope, Alaska for fishing and spending time with family. This year we stayed at Moonshine Cabin and had an incredible time fishing and playing games and having a fire. My three grandchildren came and my daughter and we had ample room for everyone. We had everything we needed for a three day vacation. Tom was great. He called before we checked in, stopped over to see if we had any questions and checked with us before we left. He made it very easy for us and we hope to stay there again in two years and maybe stay there ourselves in the near future. I definitely would say its a 5 star cabin.

Beautiful Setting!
Beautiful Setting!
My family and I spent a week at this lovely home in the quaint town of Hope, AK. The inside was very spacious and tastefully done with everything we needed. We were so comfortable in this home away from home, it was difficult to leave. Tom was so gracious and welcoming and communicated his availability with anything we might need during our stay. We will definitely repeat our visit at another time. Thanks Tom!
