What Guests Are Saying
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.

Pretty easy to find the parking area, nice little gravel path that leads to the cabin. Cabin is in great shape. Wood stove, and there was plenty of wood when we arrived, don't know if that is always the case. There was a single kayak and a crab bot on the property, but we did not get the chance to use them. Drove to Dog Salmon run and saw a bear fishing in the little falls. The best part was the location of the cabin. Very secluded, and right on the inlet. Great views. So peaceful. We were just there one night, but would love to go back and spend more time. You do have to drive a ways off the highway on dirt/gravel roads, but well worth it. Oh, and there is an outhouse near the cabin.

Beautiful place. You truly feel the rainforest experience. No fish when we were there. No trout in streams either. I've read there are no resident trout on POW but I don't have confirmation of this. Beautiful beach exploring. The cabin itself is a nice but needs some work. Basic cleaning. There were cobwebs all over when we arrived. The stove is effective but smaller than those in other cabins we have stayed in. The outhouse is in terrible shape and needs to be moved as it is completely full! Gross. It seems that this cabin has not been taken care of by the people staying there as much as others, nonetheless it's a beautiful place. Great crabbing from what is written in the log. The reported Kayak is no longer on site from what we could find.
