A log chalet with stonework and a fireplace at the west end of Turner Lake, about 18 miles east of Juneau. Sleeps six; two boats with oars are provided. Rocks slope straight into the water in front of the cabin, so watch children. Reach it by a 35-minute floatplane flight, or boat up Taku Inlet and hike 0.8 mile to the lake (parts of the inlet are shallow). Bring #1 stove oil. $45 per night.
