McCain Cabin was a disaster for us. We found the cabin easy enough. It's 90 minutes from Alpine via bumpy 2wd roads. Weather was so hot at 95 degrees. At the cabin, there was MANY cow pies within the enclosure very close to the cabin so already it stunk and flies were all over. Directly next to the cabin, maybe 10 feet away was a GIANT drilling derrick of some sort which also stuck of tar and diesel. Rose up 30 feet and was 30 feet long or so. On the opposite side maybe forty feet away was a giant dump truck smack dab in the middle of an otherwise nice view. The ground leading up to the cabin was all dug up by a bulldozer and a big pile of golf ball sized rocks and dug up soil where the front yard should be. Such a disappointment. The worst part was the lock code on the doors didn't work. I have rented over a dozen forest service cabins and know the locks can be finicky and you sometimes have to push the hasp in before giving it a hard yank but the combo DID NOT work. Brand new looking locks too. Boy was I bent out of shape! We drove the 90 minutes back to Alpine and found the Visitor's bureau. The gal there was actually super nice, called the FS and confirmed the lock code was correct. I got to talk to the FS lady also and she was nice and apologetic. Anyway I wasn't willing to drive back ANOTHER 90 minutes just to have the lock not work again so we booked a motel all the way over in Swan Valley. $420 for 2 nights. Uggh! McCain Cabin was a jacked up mess.

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.
