In Alan Wake 2, the Ranger Cabin is located on the top left corner of the Watery map and can only be accessed after players have defeated Deputies Thornton and Mulligan by completing the Parade Float and entering the Overlap.
The floodwater in the surrounding region recedes, unlocking previously inaccessible areas with new points of interest. The Ranger Cabin Nursery Rhyme is one of them. Solving it requires using two clothespin dolls.

Where To Find The Ranger Cabin Nursery Rhyme
After defeating Thornton and Mulligan, head back to Coffee World towards the woods you traversed to come here the first time. Instead of going right towards Radio Tower, turn left to find that you can now access the Ranger Cabin, which was in a previously flooded area.
Go around the Cabin towards the back, and you’ll find a Nursery Rhyme on the ground just beside the back porch. Interact with the Rhyme to unveil the clue.
How To Solve The Ranger Cabin Rhyme
You’ll need two dolls to solve this Rhyme, placed at different spots in the puzzle. The Rhyme goes.
A young Woman eager and smart,
Ventured into the woods, the beasts’ lair
The King of the Forest stole her heart
And together they now live, without a care.
To solve this Nursery Rhyme, you need to place the Maiden Doll on the tree and the Bear Doll on the heart.
Doing this will result in a reality fluctuation, showing that the Rhyme has been solved successfully.
Where To Find The Dolls
The Maiden Doll is inside the Ranger Cabin. Go to the living room inside the Cabin and take the staircase to the next floor. Look for the room with the bed. You’ll see flowers arranged in a heart pattern on the bed. The Maiden Doll and the Monster Doll are on the cabinet by the window.
The Bear Doll is in the previously flooded area of the Lighthouse trailer park. Just before the Nursery Rhyme at the docks, you’ll notice a station to the left. The Beer Doll is on top of the counter.
If you’re still unsure, here is a video showing how to solve the Nursery Rhyme
Where To Find The Charm
After solving the Rhyme, head back inside the Ranger Cabin. You’ll notice black stains on the ground leading up the main staircase to the second floor. Following the black stains will lead you back to the bedroom, where you picked up the Maiden Doll previously.
The reward for solving this Rhyme, the FBC Charm is on the bed. Equipping this charm increases damage dealt while undetected by enemies.
