About Samsing Cove Cabin

Samsing Cove Cabin is located 5.5 miles south of Sitka, Alaska off Sitka Sound on Baranof Island. The log cabin was built in 1991 by crews from S&S General Contractors of Sitka and many local businesses, individuals and volunteers. Roger and Judy Sudnikovich, owners of S&S General Contractors, donated the cabin, which replaced a log cabin built in 1941 by the Forest Service and the U.S. Navy for enlisted personnel and the public. This is a remote site. The cabin is generally available year-round, weather permitting, and can be accessed by boat only, a 20-minute ride from Sitka. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring their own amenities.

Great cabin not a long boat ride. Lots of space was nice and clean. Be sure to bring at least 10 gallons of #1 diesel if spending 2 nights.

Weather was too heinous and we weren't able to go. Still haven't been there yet.

Cabin was in great shape and the Oil heater worked flawlessly.
We had a great time.
Lots of trees down on the hill behind the cabin.

Terrible weather, but the 40MPH winds one of the day and combined 2.75 inches of rain over the 3 days wasn't the cabin's fault - In fact this cabin likely made the weather more tolerable as there was plenty of space for my girlfriend and I and our two dogs, and I was able to put our grill under the overhang outside to have a protected area to cook.
