About Maxey Cabin

Maxey Cabin offers a quaint mountain retreat that is ideally located in one of Gallatin National Forest's most popular recreation areas. Guests can expect a few creature comforts at the cabin, but they will need to bring some of their own supplies and gear. The cabin is accessible by car in the summer. During the spring (from March 31st through May 16th) the road to the cabin is closed to motorized vehicle traffic every year. Guest should be prepared to hike or bike 12 miles to the cabin during this period. During winter months the access road is infrequently plowed, so guests should be prepared with a four wheel drive, high clearance vehicle or to ski up to 12 miles to the cabin. The final mile on the Maxey Cabin Road are not plowed during the winter and guests should come prepared to ski or snowshoe the final distance to the cabin. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

As usual our trip was great. We broke trail through some fresh snow, which reminded us once again to keep the weight in our sleds down and pack thoughtfully. The previous renters left a lot of ash in the stove, but we got it cleaned out in no time. Thank you for access to such a beautiful place!

Had a great stay at Maxey Cabin! Love the double doors that open onto the deck and the views, the yard swing, and the nice bathroom! We parked at the pullout off the paved road and walked in -- even with way overpacking for one night it was not too far to just load up and carry all our stuff in one go. This cabin has the least pans/utensils/dishes that I've seen amongst FS cabins so we were glad we brought our own cast iron and dishes.

Great experience! There was a mouse living there that outsmarted all the traps. Can’t wait to come back!

The view can't be beat, and the little stream provides endless play for kids while at the cabin. Bring your bear spray - we saw a black bear within 1/2 mile of the cabin on our latest visit.

Early season conditions prevented us from driving to the cabin. Hiked in the next even for a lovely dinner picnic

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
