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.

It’s my favorite cabin so far. It’s on a smaller size so it’s easier to make it toasty. There’s also so much to explore in the area- tidal pools, beaches, lava cave… Lots of sea otters and river otters. Remote enough while still being accessible. Love this place so much!

Stunning gray whale viewing from the beach in front of the cabin. However, the woodshed was basically empty, with a few knotty rounds that could never be split or used in the woodstove (which itself is in rough shape). Not sure what our $50/night is buying anymore.
