Description

This cabin is situated on the east end of Florence Lake, which is on the west side of Admiralty Island. The cabin is primitive, with no electricity, plumbing, or phone. Much of the surrounding area is private land and has been clear-cut. Both brown bear and deer can be seen in the area; deer hunting is a popular fall activity. The cabin is an A-frame with a loft and can sleep up to seven people. It is equipped with wooden bunks, table, and benches. It is heated with an oil stove, and has an outside toilet.
