Appleton Cove Cabin was built in 1992 by Forest Service timber prep and and administrative crews for field housing. When logging was complete, the cabin became available for recreation purposes. Cabin can sleep 5 people. SETTING: Cabin lies along a south-facing and flat saltwater shoreline amid a tall dense hemlock-spruce forest. ACTIVITIES: Saltwater fishing, hunting, and marine wildlife. Past logging has established an isolated road system adjacent to the cabin. ATV's may use roads when there is no logging. Use caution. Cabin is equipped with wooden bunks, table, benches, oilstove for heat, and an outhouse. It has no mattresses or cooking utensils. Cabin users should bring sleeping bags, pads, cookstove, cooking gear, and food. Bring #1 fuel oil for stove, 10 gallons for a 3-day stay. A mooring buoy is available on a first-come, first-serve basis for boat anchorage. Firewood for outdoor campfires is not provided, but dead and down wood may be gathered. Past logging has established an isolated road system adjacent to the cabin. Please note that culverts have been pulled on some roads, causing deep depressions. Use caution in these areas.

The person holding the reservation must be 18 and must be a member of the party using the cabin.

Effective November 17, 2003, reservations for Alaska cabins will be subject to a new policy allowing only one change per reservation. A change in reservation is defined as a modification to the start or end date of the reservation. After one change has been made, if additional changes are desired, the customer must cancel the reservation and at a later time, re-book the new dates. This policy has been established to assure that reservations for cabins are fair and equitable for everyone.
