First time back at Magee in about 10 years. The setting is beautiful with the meadow and all of the songbirds. This place is a birdwatcher's dream rental-Robins, Warblers, Catbirds, Pine Siskins, Flycatchers, Cedar Waxwings, Bald Eagles and more. Unfortunately, the cabin is getting pretty run down. There is no running water in the cabin and the pots, pans, dishes etc...are grungy. Furniture is stained and worn out. There is a hot shower and a flush toilet in one of the nearby buildings which is nice. Given that they charge ~$100 per night and it is booked all season, they ought to be able to invest in some maintenance.

It would be 5 stars if the septic system were repaired where the bathroom in the cabin could be used. It worked on our first visit several years ago but hasn't worked since. It is inconvenient to walk 2 bldgs over for the bathroom with little kids not to mention the middle of the night. Please please please take some of the rental money you make off of the cabin and fix it, move the septic to a different location, whatever it takes! Otherwise, a great time to be had at this special place!

Lovely place except for the mice and or rat excrement on all furniture, a lot of activity at nights in the walls as well. We spent hours cleaning sleeping rooms and kitchen enough to cook and sleep. Gas stove disconnected, no heat. Bathrooms and shower in another building and hot water was a blessing. No rodent droppings there. Bring all your own bedding and extra sheets, we kept everything including bedding in car when not in use. Also no signs of rodents in three days other than the sound of them in the walls.

Our vacation at Magee was a five star experience, but I can't give it five stars due to the water troubles and lack of communication. We knew that the cabin water/septic isn't working but were shocked to arrive and find out that the warehouse bathrooms and shower were closed to us. We were not notified of this change prior to arriving at the cabin. The Forest Service did provide plenty of boxed water in case the water to the cabin ran out. I love Magee and hope that the water and septic problems can be fixed. Its always a relaxing experience and would recommend it!

The cabin was clean with a good stock of wood and plenty of gas powered lanterns. The plumbing was out, so the walk over to the other restroom facilities was a bit of a drag. The location has good access to several hiking trails with good views of the valley and there are trout in the creek that will cooperate. The yard and house set up were good for kids. We had great weather on one of the days and got to see five or six small planes land at the airstrip. The highlight of the trip was hearing elk bugle each morning around sunrise.
