The Deep Bay Cabin on Zarembo Island, which used to be an administrative site for the Wrangell Ranger District, will be a public recreation cabin available for rental.
The listing for the cabin should appear on Recreation.gov in the next couple weeks. The $75 rental fee is being waived for this initial period, so the public will be able to rent the cabin by paying only the $9 reservation fee for the next few months. Reservations and payment may be completed online when the listing comes up.
The Deep Bay Cabin is unique from Wrangell’s other recreation cabins. It is the first large group cabin on the District. This fully accessible cabin consists of two buildings connected by a partially covered deck, providing accommodations for up to 12 people. It is also the only cabin on the Zarembo Island road system. It can be accessed from the south end of Deep Bay by boat, or from Roosevelt Harbor, which is about a 1/4 mile away from the cabin. Roosevelt Harbor has a float dock, ramp and parking area.
At this time, furnishing is minimal, and visitors should bring their own cots, tables, chairs and camping equipment. Updated furnishings are anticipated by summer of 2017. Visitors should also bring their own #1 fuel oil for the stove.
