This is one of the best cabins in the entire system. The views are spectacular. There a few little creeks close to the cabin, so water is no issue. The only negative is the fuel you have to bring up, esp in the winter. Two gallons of kerosene per day weigh pretty heavy in your pack. Be warned about the winter trail: its shorter, but MUCH steeper than the summer trail.

The winter trail has a lot of roots and it is difficult to pull a sled up without adequate snow, if you go early in the winter I recommend carrying your gear in a backpack. In 30 degree weather we burned 2 gal kerosene per day keeping the stove on all the time. The cabin itself is nice with some recent maintenance done and has great views.

My friend and I really enjoyed this cabin. The view is unparalleled and lived up to all expectations. The trail into the cabin in the summer is easy to follow and well marked. The cabin itself is fantastic and very spacious. The outhouse is clean and not to far from the cabin (you know it's all about the quality of the outhouse)! These are my two concerns. The first is people that hike this trail seem to have a complete lack of respecting people's privacy. We had this cabin for two nights and the full day we were out there we encountered three separate couples that walked up to the cabin interrupting our experience. One couple was a delight, we overheard the second couple talking about wanting to look inside (no thank you!) and the third couple was the worst. We hadn't brought a lantern but we were playing card games at 10 pm inside when a man crept up the stairs onto the porch. He stuck his head up in front of the window behind my friend and scared the absolute crap out of me. It was totally unacceptable and an invasion of privacy. Just be warned that if you stay in this highly popular cabin you will have unwanted visitors. I have one friend that brings bright flagging with a pre-written message and puts it up when she goes to cabins. Highly recommend that. That brings me to my next concern and that is that this cabin does not have locks or deadbolts on the doors. I would love to see locks installed since it's in bear country and swarming with unwanted guests.

It was a workout to get to this cabin in the rotten snow, but the views were totally worth it! Please remember to pack out whatever you bring in and leave the cabin cleaner than you found it!

The cabin is in great shape, the deck and the views of Resurrection Bay are incomparable. The heater took a bit to warm up the cabin (2-3 hours) but once it gets going, the cabin can easily feel like a sauna even in the lowest setting. There is a lot of snowmachine traffic during the daytime, and that means you will hear the noise from it, but I personally didn't mind, and did not bother me at all. The trail is easy to hike and/or ski, the snowmachine traffic was always kind when sharing the trail. You can easily go for hikes or skis around the cabin during the day.
