The cabin needs a source of firewood if a wood stove is the heating source. In the past, there have been rounds at least provided for splitting, but there was no wood available. We scavenged a few small dead standing trees and chopped with a hatchet. The hot springs felt wonderful, but the tub needs some tlc. A bear or bears seem to have discovered that it is pleasant to be inside the tub and chewing on the handrails. The water was full of bear hair and wood chips…only in Alaska! Overall, the cabin is great, but it does need some maintenance…there are some leaks around the sky lights and windows and they should be addressed.

We were disappointed that the website listed a mooring bouy in front of cabin and that is NOT true. In addition, the website says we needed 2 gallons of Heating Oil per night and then we haul 6 gallons of that all the way from Juneau and its a Wood Stove!!! 1/3 of the cabins we have stayed in the last 3 years list the wrong critical information. So frustrating!!!! Other than these two failures on your website, Eight Fathom Cabin was awesome! Second favorite cabin now. We will be back for sure!
