WILDERNESS DISCLOSURE
Direct Owner Inquiries
Because our cabins are located in true roadless Alaska and require small-boat marine transit, we ask all guests to review our wilderness safety disclosure before accessing our direct phone and email.
Wilderness & Boat Safety Agreement
Please scroll through the 6 stipulations below to enable the acknowledgment checkbox.
1. Sole Access via Water & Mandatory Boat Operation
I confirm that at least one adult in my party has boat driving and operating experience. The safety orientation provided before departure is not a substitute for that experience. I understand that the cabin is located in a true roadless wilderness area of Alaska 3 miles south of Pelican with no vehicular or foot access from any municipal road system. Arrival requires a marine boat transit from the Pelican seaplane dock, and daily transportation, exploration, and shoreline access are conducted using the supplied 16 or 18ft aluminum boat with 4-stroke outboard. The first tank of fuel is included; after that, I am responsible for refueling as needed and returning the boat with a full tank.
2. Remote Wilderness & Marine Environment Hazards
I acknowledge that Southeast Alaska weather can change rapidly. Wind, chop, heavy rainfall, and tidal swings of 15 to 20 feet occur routinely. Tidal changes require mindful anchoring and tie-off procedures as instructed during check-in. In the event of extreme coastal gale warnings, water travel may be temporarily delayed for safety. Guests must practice cautious judgment at all times.
3. Wildlife Coexistence & Bear Country Protocol
The cabins sit in untouched habitat shared with coastal brown bears, bald eagles, and marine mammals. All food scraps and fish carcasses must be managed in accordance with the provided Bear Safe guidelines (never left on porches or outside). Bear spray is provided, and we recommend carrying it at all times.
4. Self-Sufficient Off-Grid Living & Provisions
There are no grocery stores, restaurants, or hardware shops at the cabins. Guests are responsible for purchasing and bringing all food and beverages from Pelican, Juneau or Sitka before heading out to the cabin. Sleeping bags, bed linens and meals are not provided. The cabin supplies rain catchment water, seasoned firewood, propane for cooking, 12V electrical, and cookware. If needed a boat ride into Pelican is about 30 minutes, where you can go at any point to get supplies needed.
5. Medical Assistance & Communication Disclosure
Due to the remote location, immediate 911 ambulance service is not possible. In the event of a medical emergency, evacuation is conducted via private boat transit or Coast Guard / LifeMed floatplane depending on weather. A VHF radio is provided for emergency communication with the hosts and the Coast Guard
