About Little Bear Cabin

Little Bear Cabin was built in 1938 and still looks much the same as it did back then. It is available year-round for recreationists, as well as for those who seek a quiet mountain retreat. The cabin can be accessed by vehicle during the summer and fall (June 16th - December 31st) weather and snow conditions permitting, but winter access requires snowmobiling or skiing 10 mi from the paved road. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

About the only thing that was good about our trip was the view for the first night. The stove in the cabin was broken and we nearly froze. The weather was very poor after we got there and we had to end up leaving after only one night.

The big stove is no longer there so be prepared to improvise with cooking

Beautiful spot to look down at the city lights at night, while enjoying a secluded trip in a cabin. We did not use the loft beds on this trip, but we enjoyed the medium sized cabin and the warm fire!

Great getaway spot close to town. Has comfy beds, and the best outdoor dining view in the county. Trails and forest service road are close for lots of hiking and mountain biking. Enjoy the stars at night!

Great location and beautiful views. Only issue I had was regarding the directions on the website. Heading south out of Belgrade, the turn east was well before the noted mileage. Look for the street sign as opposed to the odometer on your car.

Cabin was awesome, views are breathe taking. Great cabin. Rules say no gun fire within 300 yards of the cabin. One firewood stump I found next to the road in about 25 yards from the cabin I started splitting and I found several bullet leads withing the stump, from .22 rounds, to .45 black powder balls, and several 12 gauge slug rounds. People are disregarding the rules of firearms and the Forest Service needs to crack down on it.
