As always the cabins are in very good condition. Last December I stayed at the Deadman Bay (Alitak) cabin with my middle daughter, son and daughter's significant. This January (2022) I stayed at the Viekoda Bay cabin for another deer hunt. I went down alone to set the cabin up for my daughter and son to fly in a few days later, but, as our weather is yet changing, here on Kodiak Island, there was a tremendous amount of bear activity directly on the beach, in front of the cabin and surrounding hillsides, so I decided, for safety hunt purposes, to leave early and try again next year. Did relax and read 2 books.
This cabin does have a loose metal exterior NW side skirt panel that I could not secure, but, appears to be holding so far, in the higher winds, and should be OK till spring when it can be re-secured, and I would suggest a dead bolt be installed on the ocean front door, as a backup to the door knob latch, as the door does not always secure when it appears to be closed.
Dead bolt a good idea for Deadman cabin too. Both small items which caused no issues with my stays.
Thanks for the opportunity. I will definitely be back!

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.

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.
