First-time stay by our group of long-time Juneauites. Beautiful cabin and location. We were going to skiff in but decided to take Ward Air instead. In retrospect, probably a good choice! If you're headed there, a good bristly doormat would be an excellent addition. The main floor is difficult to keep clean (it's made of uneven stonework). Swept many times. Myron the mouse is still present and accounted for. Be sure to put all foodstuffs and paper towels, etc., in cupboards at night/when you're not in the cabin. A group of eight canoeing Canuks portaged up from the inlet during our stay and used the rocks to dry out their gear/rest and reset for their paddle to East Turner. No problem - just be aware that you may not always be 100% alone in the wilderness!Some items that were there during our stay that you *may* decide not to bring: a first aid kit, dustpan, roll of paper towel, TP. We filled one large jug there w/waterfall water. We hauled a few logs out of the lake and meant to leave some wood ready/partially dry for the next party, but one of our group couldn't sleep and burned through it all during our last night, LOL. Sorry! :(Overall fantastic trip, even in the rain. Enjoy!

Great cabin. Definitely bring a kicker for the skiff to explore the lake--it is phenomenal! Great fishing all over the lake!

Charming old cabin. looks just like it did 40 years ago when I was there last. Must bring firewood. The instructions on the rate of kerosene was off. For 3 days we burned through 5 gallons on the low setting and had to turn it off at night to conserve. Outhouse is a little further away than I remembered. The fish like to bite at evening time.

The weather was outstanding, fishing was excellent in the lake and outflow river. Mouse ran across my guest back in the middle of the night.

The cabin is great with a great set up on the rock above the lake. Definitely bring a kicker to put on one of the two skiffs, so you can explore the rest of the lake. The walk down to the inlet is lovely - bring bear spray!

Enjoy!

If I rent again in the fall (after Aug 1) I think I'll always book three nights to ensure I have a reasonably good shot at at least two nights.

Otherwise, literal best cabin ever.

Except the rowboat oars really suck so bring a motor. :)

The cabin is a beautiful stone and wood cabin in an amazingly beautiful and quiet spot. We loved every minute of it. It is a great location with a short trail to the inlet and so much opportunity for boating and enjoying the great outdoors.

This may have become my new favorite Tongass NF cabin. Incredible location and breathtaking view, excellent seaplane dock for safe mooring, and an amazing historic cabin. We also appreciated the fireplace. Nice job Forest Service. Keep it up and keep those fly-in cabins! A real treasure.
