About Twelvemile Cabin
Twelvemile Cabin is a fully accessible cabin located on Twelvemile Inlet on Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska. The site offers recreation, relaxation and a unique lodging experience in the Tongass National Forest.
Construction of this cabin was made possible through mitigation funds from Alaska Power and Telephone and the Federal Energy Regulatiory Commission.
The cabin is accessible by vehicle and a short gravel trail. Although the site is not as remote as others in the area, visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Summary
Twelvemile Cabin offers a stunning rainforest experience with beautiful views and a peaceful, secluded location right on the inlet. While the cabin itself needs some maintenance, including cleaning and an upgrade for the outhouse, it features a cozy wood stove and ample firewood. Guests have enjoyed great crabbing opportunities and the nearby wildlife, although some amenities like a kayak may not always be available.

This was the most beautiful and well maintained cabin I could have imagined. We only stayed 3 nights, but wish we could have stayed a lot longer. It's in a great location on POW and has an amazing view. A great way to get away from it all and truly be alone! Would stay here again a thousand times and hope we can make our way back there again!

Cabin was great, two bunk bed platforms with full on bottom single on top. Wood stove, others had left some Viking Logs/compressed logs from Klawock. Recommended grabbing a box for your trip.
