Kook Lake Cabin is world class for hunting and fishing! We especially love the wood stove, thank you for allowing several cabins to remain as wood stoves.
Jeff D ★ 3 · Sep 2020
Previous users had left quite a mess for us to clean up before we could really “enjoy” the cabin. After about 2 hours work, we got things in order and had a fine weekend at our 24th Tongass fly-in cabin visited. 🙂
