The Fairview Ranger Station cabin is a well-stocked, clean, and comfortable retreat, ideal for a peaceful getaway with functioning appliances and a scenic location. Guests enjoyed activities like hiking, cycling, and using the fire pit, with the added benefit of a creek for water and cleanup.

Unfortunately we were not able to get to the cabin, we had a family emergency, but recreation.gov was a pleasure to work with and we will be staying here in the future for sure!

It was a nightmare. 7 degrees the first night, and the heater wouldn't work. We had to rely on the stove burners for heat, and then the fridge started leaking water all over the floor. We had the cabin for two nights. After trying to sleep the first night in our full hunting gear, and still seeing your own breath, we left. Another night of torture avoided. This cabin might be fun in the summer, but not at all for winter time. If you are going up during hunting season, I suggest that you bring your own propane heater. I hope they liked the free money because we left early.

We had such a wonderful time. The cabin is beautiful. I am planning another visit already. The only thing I would suggest is getting the double bed upstairs fixed. It is very noisy.
A few more forks would be great

Was a great time we spent there. Our timing could have been better though..way too much snow for much exploring. Beautiful and quiet.

Exactly what I expected when I booked it. Stayed in Jan 2022. The biggest complaint I read about was people being mad that random people stop by to use the toilet, which it is clearly a public forest service toilet. Instruction for how to operate all propane appliances were clear and concise. Light is minimal and none upstairs (rec bringing head lamps and table lantern). The cabin got plenty warm with just the propane stove and it was 0 deg F over night. Called the ranger station a week before our stay and they were able to give accurate description of road conditions (intermittently plowed by BNSF RR in winter, paved road with compacted snow/ice on the whole surface, no steep grades or super sketchy sections, NEED 4WW/AWW vehicle in winter, rec chains if going when actively snowing).
