Description
This small A-Frame cabin, situated on Admiralty Island's Kathleen Lake, can sleep up to five people. The cabin is primitive, with no electricity, plumbing or phone. Much of the surrounding area is private land and has been clear-cut. Both deer and brown bear can be seen in the area. Cabin is equipped with wooden bunks, table and benches, is heated with an oil stove, and has an outside toilet. Users should bring #1 heating oil for the oil stove; fuel is available from local oil distributors. Plan on a minimum of 2 gallons per day in the colder weather months. The cabin is not well insulated and the heat from the stove dissipates quickly through the walls. It does not have mattresses or cooking utensils. Cabin users should bring their own sleeping bags, pads, cook stoves, cooking gear and food. A skiff with oars is provided. Cabin users should bring personal flotation devices and may also choose to bring a small outboard motor (less than 10 horsepower due to wilderness regulations). The person holding the reservation must be at least 18 years of age, and must be a member of the party using the cabin. Use of this cabin by a commercial operator, such as an outfitter or guide, is NOT allowed. Visitors are asked to carry out all that they bring in. There are NO discounts for Golden Age or Golden Access Passports for Alaska cabin rentals.
Reservations are restricted to a maximum stay of 7 consecutive nights per party for any one reservation May 1 to September 30 and a maximum stay of 10 consecutive nights per party October 1 to April 30.
