Built by prospectors.
Kept alive by neighbors.
When gold was found in Resurrection Creek in 1896, three thousand stampeders poured into the cove and built a town overnight. Most of them left. The Seaview stayed — pouring drinks, serving plates, and giving travelers a warm room out of the rain for over a century. The boards still creak. The stories still get told. And the door is still open.

your basecamp.
Hope sits at the end of a 17-mile spur off the Seward Highway, wrapped by mountains, water and trail. From the porch you can hike to alpine lakes, fish four salmon runs, or pan the same gravel that drew the stampeders.
Hike Gull Rock Trail
5 miles each way along Turnagain Arm. Eagles, beluga, wildflowers and sweeping views from the cliffs.
Fish Resurrection Creek
Pinks in late summer, silvers in fall. Walk five minutes from your tent to a productive run.
Pan for Gold
Hope was a gold rush boom town in 1897. Try your luck in the same creeks the prospectors did.
Drive the Seward Highway
One of America's most scenic roads. Hope is a 90-minute detour from Anchorage worth every mile.
Chugach Backcountry
Trailheads to Resurrection Pass and the Kenai range start within a few miles of the property.
Spot Beluga Whales
From the bluffs above the Arm, watch white whales chase salmon in the silty tide.
