Awesome cabin. Outside temps were mid-40’s most of our trip and inside cabin temps averaged about 10 degrees warmer than outside. We rarely used the oil heater as it does take a long time to warm up. We used a buddy heater while eating dinner and to warm up the downstairs bedroom before turning in.

Fishing a couple hundred yards off the cabin beaches out near the two points was excellent…even with bacon as bait…caught cod and a ton of sole. Only had a 1 lb weight and it was too heavy, 8oz would have been better.

Outhouse was starting to shift and may need adjustment soon. Cabin had lots of lots, pans, foil, TP and extra fuel when we left.

A dingy was very good to have. Can’t walk the beach at high tide so getting back to cabin you are forced to hike up and over an alder covered mountain to get back to cabin, if you get stuck on the other side of the cliff due to tide.

Four of us stayed in this cabin for a number of days after Christmas 2021. There was plenty of room and we rarely bumped into one another. We ran into a warm stretch of weather and didn't need all the fuel oil we'd taken to the site. The cove provided protection from stormy seas for our plane. We saw seals, sea otters, eagles, an owl, snow bunnies, beaver, ravens, fox, deer and bear. Wonderful trip and wonderful place to stay while there.

    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
