Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge Cabins

Awesome location and cabin

Awesome location and cabin

Cabin was really spacious set up well. Only used 5 gallons of kerosene in 8 days early may. People have left lots of jet boil fuels and little propane bottles which was nice. Bunks have pads that are real comfortable. Place is air tight even when windy. Could not ask for a better cabin it is really that good.

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.
