What Guests Are Saying
The Magee Rangers Cabin offers a beautiful natural setting, ideal for birdwatching and family time, with a cool interior even in hot weather. While the cabin is clean and functional, it shows signs of wear and lacks running water, requiring guests to pack out their trash and walk to the restroom after dark. Overall, it provides a charming escape, but some maintenance improvements would enhance the experience.

We went here with my aging in-laws to avoid the hassle of tent camping. It was great to have a dry, warm, comfortable place to stay that took virtually no setup. Just throw bedding or sleeping bags on the beds and camp was set up. We didn't have to bring any pots or pans or dishes or silverware, all was amply provided with quality kitchenware. The water from the tap was cool and good tasting. The cabin's septic has been inop for many years but the septic for the old bunkhouse two buildings over works just fine and it has two toilet stalls and a hot shower, so can't complain too much. We did see some signs of mice in the morning so be sure to put your food in the fridge or in coolers or Tupperware overnight. Just anything mouse proof. The propane fireplace/heater kept the cabin warm and gave it great ambiance after dark. Hope to be able to go again.

Been renting the Magee cabin for years and years, excellent destination...Unfortunately the cabin code was incorrect this year, but we managed to get in.

Our vacation at Magee was a five star experience, but I can't give it five stars due to the water troubles and lack of communication. We knew that the cabin water/septic isn't working but were shocked to arrive and find out that the warehouse bathrooms and shower were closed to us. We were not notified of this change prior to arriving at the cabin. The Forest Service did provide plenty of boxed water in case the water to the cabin ran out. I love Magee and hope that the water and septic problems can be fixed. Its always a relaxing experience and would recommend it!

not only did the bathroom in the cabin not work (we knew about that in advance), the other bathroom facilities that are 200 feet away were locked from the inside and we had no way in. we had the correct lock combo but the door was locked from the inside.
