Allan Point Cabin

This is an outstanding cabin, which is fairly close to Sitka. Idea for larger groups since it is much larger that most forest service cabins in SE Alaska. There are phenomenal views from the front porch, and a nice trail system for exploring near the cabin. A group of porpoises hung out right in front of the cabin most days (they were probably always there during the day, but we could only see them when it was calm). The stove worked great, but the front door is starting come come off its hinges, so it can be hard to close. That needs to be repaired. Other than that, one of the nicest cabins in SEAK!!

Cabin was clean inside without a lot of garbage or food outside. Pinks spawned in the creek in front of the cabin at high tide towards the end of our 10 days mid-September, and we found a fresh carcass and bear lay down spot but never saw the bear. Porpoises in the bay a few days when we could see because of the calm. A few crabs in the bay but also some empty spots.

Beautiful, large cabin that is accessible only by boat or seaplane. Reserve through the forest service and bring all your own equipment - everything from food to sleeping bags, etc. Everything you'd need for a camping trip except a tent. For heat, bring a gallon or so of diesel for the in-cabin diesel heater.

Cabin and campsite were clean. I've had no luck contacting our local forest service, but I think someone needs to go out to the cabin and make sure it is still safe. We stayed there through a large storm, and the roof picked up 6-8 inches and then dropped down after a large wind gust. I can visibly see at about 5 ft on the front wall where the beams didn't set all the way back down, and a 1/2 inch gap around the front left roof support. Other than that little scare, we had a great time.

good time

The cabin was swept but much food left behind from others. The oil stove didn't work, there was an airlock and we did not have the proper tool with us to drain the valve. (our bad) but recommend having a cheepo handy by the filter. That being said it was a very chilly night but there was fuel for the next person who had a had the wrench or pliers. But the view and peaceful surroundings was worth a bit of cold.

Well maintained cabin.
Clean and the oil stove heater worked great.

Awesome spacious cabin with beautiful views!
