The ranger cabin is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287. It is found due south of Vault 111 and due west of Concord.
Background[]
The cabin was used by the U.S. Forest Service prior to the Great War.[Non-game 1]
Just a day before the bombs fell, a girl ran away from her home and stayed in the cabin. She had been keeping a secret from her parents, and was shunned by her parents when she finally told them; she had gotten pregnant out of wedlock with a boy named John.[1] The girl recounts her story of leaving home and hiding out in the cabin in the runaway's holotape, which can be found inside the cabin.
Layout[]
A small one-room cabin that contains a copy of Wasteland Survival Guide issue #8. The runaway's holotape can be found in a suitcase next to the girl's skeleton on the bed.
There is a cooking grill to the rear of the cabin, as well as a chemistry station directly behind the cabin. To the west just near the pond, there is a shack with a trader living in it. Also to the west, east-northeast of the pond, there is a wooden cross stuck in the ground. At the base, there is a chem cooler and a baseball cap in a crate.
Notable loot[]
- Wasteland Survival Guide issue #8 - On the bedside cabinet inside the cabin.
- Runaway's holotape - In a suitcase next to the skeleton laying on the mattress.

| Location comments | ||
|---|---|---|
| Character | Specific location | Comment |
| Cait | Entrance | "Ranger cabin, eh? Good place to look for rifle ammunition." |
| Near the bed | "Poor little thing. I wonder what happened to her." | |
| Codsworth | Entrance | "This must have been the ranger station. Good to see the ol' flag still standing." |
| Near the bed | "So sad, sir/mum. I do hope she wasn't alone when the bombs fell." | |
| Curie | Entrance | "Was this a ranger cabin?" |
| Near the bed | "Oh, the poor little girl." | |
| Danse | Entrance | "Rangers patrolled the woods seeking retribution for crimes against the environment. Not so different from the Brotherhood." |
| Near the bed | "Rest well, little one." | |
| Deacon | Entrance | "Remember kids, only you can put out nuclear hell fire." |
| Near the bed | "After awhile, I've stopped reading the notebooks and terminals of the people from before. Their stories... they never end well." | |
| John Hancock | Entrance | "Hey. I think I woke up here once..." |
| Near the bed | "Looks like she was running from something." | |
| Nick Valentine | Entrance | "The park ranger. Master of all he surveys." |
| Near the bed | "Dress looks prewar. Easy to forget folks didn't have it so good back then either." | |
| Piper Wright | Entrance | "This the local guard hut or something?" |
| Near the bed | "How long do you think she's been here?" | |
| Preston Garvey | Entrance | "Don't feed the bears. Good advice." |
| Near the bed | "I wonder what her story was." | |
| Robert MacCready | Entrance | "When the bombs starting falling, I bet the last thing on this ranger's mind was forest fires." |
| Near the bed | "I... I can't look at this. Reminds me too much of the people I left behind." | |
| X6-88 | Entrance | "This monitoring station must have been built from trees so it would be invisible to enemy radar. Clever." |
| Near the bed | "Look at the calcification. These remains are centuries old." | |
