This remote National Forest location provides a rare opportunity to experience Alaska's rugged beauty in relative comfort, with direct access to some of Southeast Alaska's most spectacular natural landscapes.
The cabin serves as an ideal basecamp for exploring the surrounding temperate rainforest, where towering Sitka spruce and hemlock trees create a lush canopy overhead.
