Fairview Ranger Station

This is a well stocked, clean, and comfortable cabin. All appliances (fridge, stove, heater) all worked. The grounds were mostly clean except the deer legs laying around. The stairs going up to the bedrooms are very narrow so be cautious!

Such a cool place to stay! Would not advise driving to it at night for the first time, a little spooky. We’d still love to come back though!

I stayed at this cabin when bicycling through this area. First off, this area is excellent for cycling, beautiful country, paved roads (careful of incredible potholes though), no traffic, and lots of trains (yes!). The cabin was a very nice peaceful getaway. Had everything I needed for a comfortable night, just tossed my sleeping bag on the downstairs fold-out futon. Well stocked kitchen for cooking, comfy couch, big loft with 3 beds, clean and neat. Modern vault outhouse. There is a creek right in front to clean up in after a long sweaty ride and to get drinking water (for filtering or boiling to drink). Will stay there again!

Always a great place to stay.

We had hoped to do some snowshoeing but the snow was pretty melted, but we managed to do a nice 9 mile hike. We really enjoyed the fire pit. On our way home we stopped at the brewery in Libby for a great lunch and Kootenai Falls.

The cabin was actually great for us, but not for citified folks who haven’t been exposed to gas lanterns, Forgotten, flashlights, no Internet, Unexpected, broken mops and don’t really want to get down on their hands and knees with a rag to clean the floors. 😆

Nice comfortable cabin. Paved road to the driveway. Need to know several thousand acres of private land in the area is now closed to public use. Money has come to town and country. Thanks Wolf Prairie!

Excellent place to stay. The propane stove and furnace worked well. There were no insects or rodents in the cabin. The previous guests left the place very clean as did we. We swept well and boiled creek water to mop the floor. The kitchen pots, pans and dishes were minimal so bring what you need. We enjoyed the campfire (brought our own wood), horseshoes, quick dip in the creek and laughter with family. It was nice that the dog could be with us. Remember to bring your own water and flashlights. I wish we would have brought bikes.
