The Andrew Berg cabin near Soldotna , Alaska , in 1902 by fishermen and trappers Andrew Berg built.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 . It is located in what is now the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge , about 48 kilometers southeast of Soldotna on the north shore of Lake Tustumena . It is a one and a half story log house built from spruce trunks with sleeper trunks on the floor.

Andrew Berg built a total of eleven such log cabins on the Kenai Peninsula. In 1902 he built his first on Lake Tustumena, which he used as a house. Berg only ever used spruce trunks. Regulations were enacted in the region in 1908 that required rangers and licensed guides. Berg received the license “No. 1 ”, which he held for over 20 years. He later served as an overseer from 1920 to 1921 and worked for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service from 1924 to 1936 .
