About Brents Beach Cabin

Brent's Beach Cabin is located on the eastern shore of Kruzof Island in Crab Bay in the Tongass National Forest, 15 miles northwest of Sitka, Alaska. The cabin is open year-round and makes an excellent base to experience this beautiful corner of Alaska. Fred's Creek Cabin is 5 miles south. The original A-frame cabin located at this site was donated by a former Forest Service district ranger in memory of his teenage son, Brent, who along with two friends, drowned in Sitka Sound while halibut fishing in the early 1970s. In 1985, the current cabin replaced the well-worn A-frame. This is a remote location. The cabin can be accessed only by boat or helicopter, weather permitting. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring many of their own amenities.

What Guests Are Saying

Brent's Beach Cabin offers stunning gray whale viewing and is praised for its cozy size, making it easy to heat. Guests appreciate the surrounding exploration opportunities, including tidal pools and wildlife. However, some amenities, like the wood supply and woodstove condition, could be improved, and a larger outdoor deck would enhance the experience.

Great spot but cabin maintenance was an issue. Wood stove was barely functional. Contacted Sitka ranger district and they have fixed the issue.

Brent’s beach cabin was a great family destination. Swinging on fishnet swings, endless hours building sand sculptures on the beach, fishing from the shore and exploring the tide pools were just a few of the daily adventures. Recommend bringing crazy creek chairs or other lounging chair to enjoy views.
