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 found the cabin clean and in great shape, which was appreciated. However there was one exception, which we have encountered on previous visits. One set of bunk beds had been taken apart and placed side by side, which takes up almost half of the floor space in the cabin. I understand this might be a better sleeping arrangement for some folks, but they should reassemble the bunks before leaving and not leave the heavy lifting for someone else to do.

We had a great visit as usual, although it wasn’t the wintery scene. Crazy weather! Bunk beds were restored to their usual position, with brackets installed. It was nice to have the floor space. We brought the propane lantern back, fully repaired. Hopefully people will take care of it.

Very beautiful location.
This cabin is not as well stocked as other cabins typically are. I would suggest bringing your own cookware and utensils.

Skiing in to Maxey in the winter is the preferred method for some. We pull sleds in on foot as the trail is usually packed down enough to make it navigable. This time we realized pretty quickly that we would be post-holing all the way in the deep, spring snow, and boy were we glad we brought our snowshoes! We strapped them on and it was easy going after that.
Maxey Cabin is an absolute treasure. After many visits over the years, the scenery still takes your breath away. Thank you, USFS, for maintaining this special place, and to the all visitors who pay it forward with loving care!
