Pybus Cabin offers guests recreation, relaxation and a unique wilderness lodging experience on the southeast side of Admiralty Island in the Tongass National Forest. The remote site offers a scenic setting for fishing, boating and wildlife viewing, all within the vicinity of the cabin.
Access to the cabin is float plane or boat. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety and must bring several of their own amenities.
Wildlife viewing is abundant on land and in water. Pybus Bay is quite remote, and a good place for humpback whale sightings.
A game trail to Donkey Bay is accessible at high tide and seasonal commercial fishing activity is popular in Pybus Bay.
The cabin is a primitive, pre-cut cedar log cabin in [A-frame style](http://www.fs.fed.us/r10/tongass/cabins/cabin_layouts.shtml), furnished with wooden bunkbeds without mattresses and a loft that sleep up to seven guests. The cabin is equipped with a table, benches, an oil stove for heat and an outdoor toilet.
The cabin does not have running water or electricity. Visitors must bring their own food, water, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cook stove, matches, cooking gear/utensils, light source, #1 stove oil, toilet paper, first aid kit and garbage bags.
Water is available from a nearby stream. Water from any natural site must be filtered, boiled or chemically treated before drinking.
The cabin is about a half-mile north of Donkey Bay in a protected cove within Pybus Bay. The shoreline is surrounded by a thick temperate rainforest of old-growth spruce and hemlock trees, ferns, shrubs and grasses. The end of the bay has large tidal flats.
Wildlife in the area abounds, including migratory waterfowl and shorebirds, Sitka black-tailed deer and brown bears.
Access to the cabin is by float plane or boat with anchor at high tide. Flight time is approximately one hour and 15 minutes from Juneau or 30 minutes from Petersburg. Access by boat via Stephens Passage or Fredrick Sound is approximately 100 miles from Juneau. Float plane or boat access can only occur at certain stages of the tide.

Just left Pybus Point Lodge and we are ready to go back! It was a one of a kind experience for the whole family! Our every need was anticipated from the minute we stepped on the dock. The only thing better than the fishing and scenery was the staff! Our 5 course nightly meals were prepared to perfection along with our “catch of the day” fish. One of our highlights was the day on the seaplane with Brandt. Our boat Captain - Capt. Ryan took us to exactly the right spots and Koda always took time to make it fun for our grandkids ages 5 & 7. Pybus Point is the Ritz Carlton of Alaskan fishing lodges. Special thank you to Brie and Darryl for great communication before our trip and Jeff the lodge photographer for documenting our special moments. I’m sure I left out some staff so shout-out to everyone else working to make Pybus Point great! Until we meet again -

The Place To Be!
Pybus Point Lodge is the most wonderful experience we have ever had. Pybus is a place that you can spend once in a lifetime events with friends (old and New!!), family (old and New!!) and a Staff that must have fallen from Heaven!
5 Star Everything. Thank you All So Much.
We are rebooking.
Everything about going to Pybus was perfect and beyond our wildest dreams. They set the bar high.....real high! I doubt it can be topped, honestly. We met so many amazing people and had an experience we will never forget or stop talking about.
Pybus Point Lodge was amazing. The location is beyond beautiful and photos do no justice to the true beauty of it. The cabins are all top notch, the staff are all amazing and super friendly ready to help with anything you need. The fishing was amazing and the glacier trip up the fjord amazing. Can’t wait to go back!!
Pybus Point Lodge is top notch in all it does and have for their guests. Great equipment, personal service, delicious menu, clean rooms and a nice gift shop. What makes the whole experience so special are the people. They make you feel very welcomed from arrival to departure. The fishing is also great! We all caught our limits of halibut on our guided trips every day plus a number of Coho & Pink Salmon, a few King Salmon (buy a King Salmon license), Rock fish, Lingcod & Cod. They also let you barrow a skipper to go out and fish on your own, which allowed us to add to our Halibut numbers. I recommend this place to be added to your bucket list.
