About Greentop Cabin

Greentop Cabin is located on the southwest tip of Yakobi Island within the West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness Area. The cabin was built in the 1940s by a fisherman. It is available year-round and makes an excellent base for experiencing this corner of Alaska with its many recreational options. The cabin is remote. It is located approximately 41 miles west of Hoonah and 67 miles northwest of Sitka. It is accessible only by boat or float plane. The flight is 1 hour from Sitka or Juneau and the boat ride is 1 hour from Pelican. This is a primitive cabin with no electricity, indoor plumbing or cell phone coverage. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

What Guests Are Saying

Greentop Cabin is a well-maintained historic treasure that offers an enjoyable experience. While there were issues with mosquitoes and flies, the cabin itself was in great shape, and the fire pit was a nice feature despite limited use due to rain. Guests appreciated the cozy atmosphere and plan to bring additional firewood on their next visit.

The cabin was awesome, historic, & well maintained- a real historical treasure. The mosquitoes, white Sox flies, and no-seeums were unreal though.

Cabin was in great shape. Some wood there, we used only a little, we split some of what was in the entryway. Will bring some more with us when we go out next. The fire pit was nice but we missed our opportunity to use it during the few hours it wasn't raining.

A heads up the glass door on the wood stove is cracked. Be gentle or it might fall out.
The firewood supply is low 2-3 days in moderate temps.. The firewood tools are all functional.

The entrance to Greentop is tidally controlled. Make sure you have enough draft to enter as it goes dry at minus tides.
