Maxey Cabin

We enjoyed a beautiful, sunny day at Maxey. The trail going in was packed enough that we could easily pull sleds with supplies. Going out the next day it was snowing heavily and windy, with poor visibility and drifts across the trail. We were prepared and snow shoes came in handy.
We noted that the cabin will be closed for a while this spring/summer for some work. Probably a good thing, as there are some cracks in the caulking and a leak in the over-hang by the door going in, which creates an icey patch.
On a couple of occasions we have found personal belongings that have fallen under the bunks. We took a vest with a pair of headlights to the Forest Service office in case someone wants to claim them.
All in all, another great trip to Maxey. This cabin is a gem, please take good care of it.

The weekend getaway to this quaint cabin was just what the doctor ordered. No service, endless skiing and mountain views all around... what more could you want! The ski in was easy and less than a mile. The weather conditions allowed for walking in if that's more your speed. We were greeted with a clean cabin and plenty of wood that kept us extra toasty all weekend. The were dishes for cooking, nothing special but does the job, Hand sanitizer and lysol wipes for staying clean. The pit toilet was clean but thank goodness we brought tee pee because there was none. Other than that our stay was quiet, joyful and we will definitely be back. If you plan to adventure to the Maxey cabin you won't regret it and I hope you say yes to the adventure. If you go be sure to bring toilet paper, water and a light source! Enjoy!

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 mi of the cabin on our latest visit.
