Paulson Bay cabin was amazing! We went to Alaska to visit my husband's cousins and they suggested the cabin. They brought all of our gear (sleeping pad/bag/sheets, campfire coffee percolator, etc) and they stayed on their boat and let us use their zodiac to row to the cabin. The cabin had firewood and water. It was clean and in great shape - 2 bunk beds, furnace (which we didn't use), really nice magnetic self-closing screen over the door, and a fire pit in front overlooking the bay. The view is AMAZING! On clear days, we saw the glacier across the bay and even on cloudy days, the bay and woods and stream is beautiful. Our cousins made us breakfast and dinner every day and took us on adventures - glaciers, fishing, shrimping, and other sightseeing. At the cabin, we picked salmonberries and blueberries. We watched the salmon just starting to school around the lower part of the river. We saw a bear on the right side of the bay but never saw it at the cabin. The only suggestion we have is to lower the separator for the composting toilet and wouldn't mind if the window didn't look straight at the campfire area. We love the reason for using it... but it was awkward to use. Small things tho given the grand view and rest of the experience. We would love to use this cabin again - any day we have a boat to reach it and are very grateful to our cousins for sharing it with us, to the people who have used the cabin before and kept it in good shape, and too the recreation department that built and maintains it. It was a vacation of a lifetime!

We love this cabin. Cozy and stove works great! Kayaking and beach combing are great. Fish ladder nearby provides hours of entertainment- fish bumping the kayaks and watching the bears roaming and catching fish. We go every summer.
