Kenai National Wildlife Refuge Cabins

Fantastic spot, even though surrounded by scorched land. Best outhouse view ever!

We love this cabin. Got in after dark on Friday, but knew it was an easy, downhill hike in.
We played on the frozen lake and hiked nearby Bear Mtn during the short daylight hours. Kids live being out at the cabin and I like the short commute from where we live.
Very tidy and well-kept.

We camp here at the cabin several times each winter. We love being able to bring camp stuff in by snowmachines sure makes the trip easier for family’s with little kids. We had great ski trips around the lake and fires at night.

Nurses Cabin: The cabin is in incredible condition. Excellent location in a spectacular patch of wilderness. As a heads up, the turn off is very hard to see. The cabin can't be seen from the trail and there is just a faded piece of ribbon at knee height to indicate the split. From the trail, the cabin and the lake are obscured by a knoll, so if you notice this feature on your approach keep a close eye out for the ribbon. If you blow past it, the trail dead-ends and there is a spur trail down to the lake. Make a right at the lake front and backtrack maybe half a mile. Cabin is easy to see from the shore. Trail is otherwise very defined. There is one tough stretch towards the wilderness boundary that i think is intentionally kept rough to keep snow machines from sneaking in. We had to take our skies off for this stretch but other wise a pleasant skin in, with just the occasional downed tree. Props to the trail crew and to who ever does the cabin up keep. Can't wait to return, cant recommend enough

Such an awesome time! Lots of extra wood in the shed and things were clean and neat. Be sure to go out at night and lay on the lake to stare at the stars and don't overload the wood stove or you'll get too hot. Have fun!
