Really enjoyed spending 2 nights at Lee's Cabin. The mosquitoes are a pain but didn't have problems with them inside the cabin

I love this place. It is such a cool and cozy cabin. There wasn't a lock code in the email, so I was a little afraid that we would arrive and it would be locked. It wasn't. An officer did come and check to make sure we had a reservation, which I appreciated honestly. This is one of my favorite cabins in AK
