Fodor's Expert Review Alaska State Parks Cabins
Homer, Alaska, 99603, USA
Three public-use cabins are within Kachemak Bay's Halibut Cove lagoon area, another is near Tutka Bay lagoon, and a fifth is at China Poot Lake. All but the lakeside cabin are accessible by boat; China Poot can be reached only on foot from the boat landing on the beach or by floatplane to the lake. The cabin furnishings are sparse, but include wooden bunks and sleeping platforms, a table, and chairs; there's no running water or electricity. Four of the five cabins sleep up to six people (the other, the Overlook cabin at Halibut Cove, sleeps eight), and all can be reserved up to six months in advance. There are also yurts in the parks available through alaskanyurtrentals.com.
