About This Location

Discover the remote beauty of Samsing Cove Cabin on Baranof Island, Alaska. This USFS-managed site offers year-round access and excellent fishing opportunities.

Samsing Cove Cabin offers a unique, remote retreat located just over five miles south of Sitka along the stunning shores of Sitka Sound. Situated on Baranof Island at an elevation of 40 feet, this log cabin provides a true Alaskan wilderness experience. It stands as a testament to local community effort, having been constructed in 1991 through the collaboration of volunteers and local businesses to replace a historic 1941 structure.

The surroundings are defined by the rugged coastal beauty of the Alaskan panhandle, offering guests direct access to the water. The primary amenity at this federal site is its prime location for fishing, making it an ideal destination for anglers looking to immerse themselves in the local marine environment. The cabin is open year-round, allowing visitors to experience the changing seasons of the Tongass National Forest.

This site is best suited for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a quiet, off-the-grid escape. Because it is a remote cabin rental, it is perfect for individuals or small groups comfortable with primitive conditions. While the site supports cabin rentals and camping, visitors should be prepared for the self-sufficient nature of this secluded coastal getaway.
