Point Amargura Cabin

About

Point Amargura Cabin offers a secluded wilderness lodging experience on San Fernando Island in southeastern Alaska's Tongass National Forest. The 15' x 17' cedar cabin features a metal roof, wood stove for heating, and accommodates up to six guests with a loft that sleeps four and a double wooden bunkbed. The cabin includes a table, benches, fire extinguisher, axe, and broom. An outhouse is located outside. The location provides excellent fishing opportunities year-round, with pink, chum, silver, and king salmon available seasonally, plus halibut and bottom fish in the open waters. Hunters can pursue Sitka black-tailed deer from late summer through fall and black bear during spring and fall seasons. Beachcombing along the shoreline is popular for finding sea-borne treasures. Access requires careful planning as the cabin is reachable only by boat or float plane at high tide. A mooring buoy on the east side of the point is available first-come, first-served. Visitors must be self-sufficient, bringing all drinking water, food, sleeping gear, cook stove and fuel, lantern, toilet paper, and garbage bags. Weather can be unpredictable and may cause extended stays, so packing 2-5 extra days of supplies is strongly recommended.
