The ranger cabin is a rustic, off grid cabin that offers almost no amenities. There is no concierge, room service, or continental breakfast. There is no linen service or fancy little bottles of shampoo. It does however offer beautiful views of the Painted Desert wilderness, quiet serenity, and amazing star gazing opportunities. All from the comfort of a cozy one room cabin with a queen size bed and a flush toilet.

The ranger cabin sits on a 40-acre parcel adjacent to the south boundary of the Painted Desert Wilderness area. The property is located at the confluence of the Wild Horse wash and the Lithodendron wash. It can be accessed by hiking from Devils Playground (about three mile hike) or from the Painted Desert Inn (about a 7 mile hike). Visitors will need a backcountry permit. For information on backcountry permits see the Petrified Forest National Park wilderness page. Bring a GPS to help you navigate, the coordinates for the cabin will be included with your confirmation e-mail as well as the code to open to door to the cabin.
There are no front row parking options. There are also no public transportation options. This is a remote cabin far from anything that resembles a city. Feel free to wake up early and enjoy the sun rise in your underwear, no one is going to care if you bother to put your pants on. The neighborhood is best known as a wilderness camping and hiking area. There is no grocery store so be sure to pack something for dinner in your backpack.
