What Guests Are Saying
The Mckeever Cabin offers a clean, cozy, and beautifully secluded environment ideal for relaxation, with a well-stocked wood supply and comfortable amenities. Guests appreciated the peaceful surroundings, scenic trails, and the opportunity to disconnect from technology. However, some noted the inconvenience of a lengthy walk from the parking area to the cabin, which could be challenging with heavy gear.

This cabin was beautiful up in the hill in the woods. There are no views of the stars. We were able to catch some of the Northern Lights from the waters edge. There are no beaches on this lake or at the property. The bottom is mushy and mucky except a small path when entering the water. It is very woodsy with beautiful trails. The downfall, the road you HAVE to walk to the cabin is hilly and long. It is about a ten minute walk from where you can park for your stay. After carrying a cooler and all our gear for two adults for 4 nights, it took 3 trips up and down the hilly road. Pack light and pack a cart with big wheels. It is a ton of walking and carrying you’ll be to tired to do much after the haul. I will come back but with a big cart to make one trip on the trail.

Quiet, peaceful and relaxing, beautiful surrounding, nice lake to canoe on.
Was surprised,virtually no flying insects. No cellphone service was a plus.
Cross country ski trails were nice to hike on. Biking trail not far away. Also in-between to stores and ice cream

Cabin was Awesome. Didn't need snowshoes or skis on trail coming in. Having cut wood for fireplace was great! Cabin stayed warm and toasty. Will definitely be coming back.

We had an amazing time at Mckeever cabin and it exceeded our expectations! The woodstove kept us very warm during winter camping and the cross country ski trails were very well groomed.

The cabin is very dark inside, even on sunny days. Bring extra lights or bright lanterns. The mattresses are more like a box spring. Not very comfortable to sleep on, an additional pad would be helpful for a good nights sleep. On a good note, the mouse problem seems to be corrected, not a single sighting!!

The cabin itself was in good shape, and in a great location on the lake. Wood was well stocked. I do wish that you could use the access road to drive right up to the cabin (4wd could easily make it), but I suppose I understand their reasoning for it.
Unfortunately, the cabin has a mice problem. My friend and I observed at least 5 mice within the wood bin, climbing on the counters, and inbetween the panneling and the roof. I understand this is kind of the risk you take with a rustic cabin, and I am not at all upset with the Forest Service. Nothing you can really do. Increase their funding! But it is unnerving when mice are crawling around your head on the window sills in the middle of the night. Hopefully this gets taken care of before it becomes an even bigger issue.
