Great cabin. So much to do in the area and the anchorage is bombproof.

The Beecher Pass Cabin offers a great location with plenty of activities nearby and a secure anchorage. The cabin is well-maintained, though guests should prepare to split wood and create kindling. Boaters need to anchor at least 85 yards from the cabin to avoid grounding at low tide, with kayaking recommended for reaching the shore.

The cabin is dry and tight. Be ready to split wood. And make some small kindling. If you are boating you’ll need to anchor at least 85 + yards from the cabin out in the water. Or, you’ll be grounded at low tide. We used a kayak to paddle into shore after anchoring.

Wonderful experience, We loved the area and the cabin suited our needs perfectly. The only comment I would say we had to really clean out the wood burning stove to get it to burn and the chimney needed a good sweep. None of this was a destractor and we will definitely stay here again.

Had a fabulous “gals weekend” !
Cabin itself was clean and in good repair, plenty of dry firewood, and such a nice beach. Unfortunately there was quite a bit of trash under and around cabin…..toilet paper around the perimeter and cans in the firepit on the beach that we cleaned up. Think maybe this cabin gets some unpaid for use as we had a couple of boats pull up close and when they saw we were there they made an abrupt turn around.

One of the bunk beds is very broken. Needs to be repaired soon or it will continue to deteriorate.
Otherwise our stay was awesome.

Made it to the cabin but had a boat issue and had to go home. So didn’t get to stay this time. It’s one of our favorites and will try again soon.

The cabin is accessible only by boat or float plane, at any tide, and is located on the south side of Beecher Pass on the north shore of Woewodski Island. From Petersburg, the cabin is 17 mi by float plane or 20 mi by boat. The boat route from Petersburg is over protected water, but includes one passage where attention to channel markers is essential. The route from Wrangell crosses Sumner Strait, which can be very rough in windy weather. Boats can be anchored anywhere in front of the cabin.
