Go if

Kayakers and boaters who want a genuinely isolated Southeast Alaska experience for $35 a night, with tide pools, wildlife, and a wood stove cabin for up to 6 people. Pack in all your water and firewood.

Skip if

No boat or floatplane access means this place simply isn't reachable. Winter winds hitting 31 mph and rough seas make off-season crossings a real risk, and there's no potable water or cell signal documented on the island.
