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.

Pretty pricey for what you get. Still cannot use bathroom in cabin, which is really tough for little ones, really everyone, especially at night. For $100.00 per night especially. The birds in the warehouse also dive bomb you on you way to use the facilities. Had a homeless person hanging around too.

The cabin was clean with a good stock of wood and plenty of gas powered lanterns. The plumbing was out, so the walk over to the other restroom facilities was a bit of a drag. The location has good access to several hiking trails with good views of the valley and there are trout in the creek that will cooperate. The yard and house set up were good for kids. We had great weather on one of the days and got to see five or six small planes land at the airstrip. The highlight of the trip was hearing elk bugle each morning around sunrise.
