The cabin was noted to be nice and dry, providing a comfortable stay. However, the absence of the forest service skiff was a drawback mentioned by reviewers. Overall, the cabin offered a positive experience despite the missing skiff.

Beautiful lake, had it all to ourselves. Sounds like there was a pod of Orcas that were in the lake the previous week, would have liked to have seen that. Great times.

The cabin is located on the west shore of Barnes Lake, 70 air miles from Ketchikan and 38 air miles from the city of Craig, on Prince of Wales Island.

Float plane or boat access can only occur at certain stages of the tide. Use extreme care boating through Indian Creek Rapids and Lake Bay Creek, as these areas can be extremely dangerous and should not be attempted except at high slack tide â?? about 1.5 hours after high tide (local tide tables).
