What Guests Are Saying

McCain Cabin offers a rustic and cozy experience, with new beds and a beautiful setting that's easy to access. Guests enjoyed the warm atmosphere and stunning views, particularly the aspen trees. However, some faced issues like an unfinished water pump, difficulties with the propane system, and nearby disturbances from drilling and trash, which overshadowed their stay.

Never received an access code to get into property. I tried calling the phone number provided and never got a call back or answer. Would love a refund since we canceled our trip because we assumed we couldn’t access.

We are so delighted that the forest serve allows us to rent the guard stations in the winter. We thoroughly enjoy the time we spend at the cabins. They are definitely rustic, but have everything that is necessary for a comfortable stay. there are new mattresses in the McCain station and they were very comfortable. The woodstove warms you up in no time. There are only 6 beds, so if you read that there are 8, don't believe it. The roads in and out are very bumpy due to all the snowmobile traffic. But it is what it is. We will stay 2 nights next time.

It is a great little getaway cabin! The stars pop and its really quiet. The only downfall is the trail to the cabin is rarely groomed this year so its a rough one pulling a sled in and out.

A wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings! I did not use the propane while there since I had no need, but I believe it states that there is a propane refrigerator, which is not true. Bring good coolers if you plan to stay here and need to keep things cold. This is a very special place that I will definitely visit again.
