Spurt cabin was great. Those that are taking care of the cabins do a dynamite job. Lots of cut wood for fire ready to use. New oithouses are outstanding. They take pride in making these cabins top notch

Older cabin but still nice. Oil heater was a plus. Wet stormy weather kept us in the cabin most of the trip. Best to arrive or depart during rising tide, the cove becomes a big mud flat on low tide.

The new outhouse was a very nice surprise! Saw different critters around the cabin from otters to a pine martin and a few smaller fuzzy guests.

The cabin is accessible by boat or float plane only and the journey is about 18 miles by boat and 16 miles by plane from Petersburg. The cabin is accessible at any tide, but care should be taken when entering the cove at high tide because boats can go dry quickly. Some float plane operators will not enter the cove at just any tide because of poor visibility through the water. Please check current conditions prior to your trip. Click here for more information.
