A pan-abode log cabin on a forested bench above Admiralty Cove at the north tip of Admiralty Island, in the Kootznoowoo Wilderness. Sleeps six; oil stove (bring No. 1 stove oil, roughly 5–10 gallons a week). Fly 15 minutes from Juneau or boat about 20 miles; the cove dries at low tide, so plan arrivals on a 15-foot or higher incoming tide. Helicopter access is prohibited. The trail to North Young Lake starts here. $55 per night in peak season, $45 off-peak.
