About Magee Rangers Cabin

The Magee Ranger's Cabin is a fully furnished 2-story cabin in the center of the Coeur d'Alene River Ranger District. Guests can imagine themselves as forest rangers when sleeping in the old ranger's quarters, and enjoying the superb views and convenient access to prime recreation trails. The Magee Cabin was constructed in 1922 as living quarters for the Magee District Ranger. The cabin along with several buildings at the site are on the National Register of Historic Places. These buildings may occasionally be occupied as temporary housing for Forest Service employees working in the vicinity.

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.

Was almost kind if spooky that there was no bug noise. No crickets, even at night. 😳
Otherwise great.

My family has been trying to stay here for years and we finally were able to make it happen.
I was a bit nervous after reading reviews and was expecting the cabin to be gross and infested with mice. We went in July 2024 during a particular hot streak and when we arrived at the cabin I was pleased to find the cabin was quite cool. We were traveling with a young child and the cabin remained cool through the entire day and was a perfect place for him to take his naps.
The cabin was clean. A bit broken down and old but not gross. We never heard any mice in the walls but if you didn’t clean up after yourself there was evidence of critters getting into food etc. which is how it is at any camp ground.
There is no power but they provided laterns for light which we also had some of our own.
There is a stove and I would say don’t rely on the oven to get too hot and bake anything in a hurry but works.
Fridge is really nice and there is a freezer.
We just used our sleeping bags as bedding so if you are expecting sheets being your own.
The bathroom is a bit of a walk but not too bad and is really nice to have a toilet.
You need to pack out all your own trash so keep that in mind when thinking logistics but they have best safe containers to store while during your stay.
