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 mi 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 mi 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.

Summary

AI generated

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.

Our 7 year-old daughter talks about our trip to Maxey Cabin six months ago. Beautiful views. Great trails for hiking surround the cabin and it's a short drive to lake, which has more trails and is great for paddleboarding.
