A new and clean cabin with a wood stove which I can use for cooking. Very quiet place with a view. An outhouse is rather far away from the cabin.

The Kelly Lake cabin is so fun! A boat, a swing and what feels like a private trail. The cabin and it’s surrounding trees were well protected from last years fire, which is a strange contrast to the destruction all around it. The lake was warm and it was fun rowing around among the loons. Easy to get to, quiet and a great time!

Great time at the cabin, we had a bluebird day and so lots of water sport activity, swimming, boat trip and hiking too. My main complaint is that there are two locks on the front door( only door) and in bear country this is a little unsettling. We did hear a loud noise in the middle of the night and I was worried it might be an animal. Please fix the locks. Thanks. Beautiful cabin otherwise,

Just another example why I love Alaska. Public use cabins are the best.
