Tongass National Forest

1 site · Lodging

Big John Bay has a big, awesome cabin, complete with bunk beds, oil heaters, and a covered porch, nestled in the woods of Kupreanof Island. Though it takes some work to get here, either by boat or trail from Kake or float plane from Petersburg, it’s completely worth it. Just ride that 15’ tide into your new secluded home, where you’ll find incredible views of saltwater flats and tall grasses. Hunters will find this a perfect spot for grouse and waterfowl hunting.

The Dacha

46mi from Big John Bay Cabin · 1 site · Lodging · Sitka, AK

Remote 350 square foot cabin with Jotul woodstove and loft, with a review of Warm Springs Bay. The cabin is a quarter mile from the forest warm springs, and 100 yards down the boardwalk from the baths. Fully equipped with bathroom and cold water, a kayak, fishing rods, a generator and solar. There is a covered deck we use as a kitchen. Please be advised: access only by hiking, floatplane, or boat. Propane lights give heat and illumination. Great fishing for salmon in bay and cutthroat in lake. This is about as remote as it gets! There are no stores, no gas, and brown bears are a concern. Welcome to the most beautiful place on earth.
