Alaska public use cabins are a great way to escape the real world for a couple days!

Awesome! The lake was frozen so we could travel that way. The cabin is so amazing I can see why it’s always booked!

This cabin is awesome, the only reason why I rated it poor was because of my own lack of planning. In the past, I have just driven right up to the cabin in the winter. The road to the lake was so icy we could barely stay on the road, or stop when braking. We chose not to drive down onto the lake because we didn't think we'd be able to get back up the icy hill. I had packed all of our stuff in heavy totes, which we decided would not be pleasant to try and carry in/out the 1 mile walk. So we ended up never staying. I would recommend checking out conditions before you go!
