The Turner Lake West Cabin offers a beautiful and charming location, ideal for fishing and exploring the lake, especially with a skiff. Guests appreciate the rustic cabin's nostalgic feel, though they recommend bringing firewood and being mindful of cleanliness due to the uneven stone flooring. A few minor issues, such as the presence of mice and a distant outhouse, were noted, but overall, visitors enjoyed a fantastic experience, even in the rain.

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.
