What Guests Are Saying
Maxey Cabin is highly praised for its beautiful location, cozy atmosphere, and stunning views of wildlife and nature. Guests appreciate the added space from the bunkhouse and find the cabin easily accessible, although some mention minor concerns such as mosquito presence, ticks, and occasional mice droppings. Recommendations include improving directions, providing smaller firewood, and bringing personal cookware, but overall, it remains a beloved destination for visitors.

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.

Very nice place. The wood stove heats it up nicely. Watch out for icy spots! Saw one mouse run across the floor. Overall good stay.

Love this cabin and have stayed many times. Unfortunately it's now infested with mice. Hopefully this year's renovation will help

The cabin has one of the most beautiful views of any forest service cabin in Montana that I've experienced to date. There seemed to be a lot of mouse activity, but I know that is expected for a cabin in the woods. The mattresses are some of the best (supportive and comfortable) I've ever slept on in a cabin as well. That was amazing. There was plenty of wood and the stove put out a great amount of heat. The flies were pretty bad during the day but must have retreated into the logs at night. There was no toilet paper when we arrived, but luckily we had brought our own, so bring toilet paper if going to this cabin. Overall magical and I would go again if I'm lucky enough to be able to book it again. Very tough to book, for good reason. It would also be very tight in there with more than three people, so keep that in mind, especially in the winter when you can't spread out outside as much on the deck, which is another incredible feature of that cabin.
