About Birch Creek Cabin

Birch Creek Cabin is a historic log cabin with electricity. It provides access to a variety of hiking, ohv, and for cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails (depending on the season). A vaulted toilet lies 100' west of the cabin. Guests can typically access the cabin by vehicle, depending on conditions. The roads leading to the cabin are gravel - but suitable for passenger cars (depending on the season and snow levels). The final quarter-mile may be covered with impassible snow during the winter, requiring skis, snowshoes or snowmobile to complete the route. There is a reliable parking area just off of the Birch Creek Road near the Thief Creek Bridge. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Wonderful historic cabin on Birch Creek in the Pioneer Mountains. Very scenic area with lots of outdoor activities to pursue, such as fishing, hiking, ATV riding, or just relaxing and enjoying the cabin experience. Needed repairs to this cabin have been neglected, but we still had a very nice visit. Bring mouse traps!

Great cabin, spacious, beats sleeping on the ground for sure. Very easy to get too. Nice hiking in the area. The kitchen stove was a little challenging to keep lit, but the bedroom fire place made up for it. It was cool a place. If you are not a camper and want to explore some outdoors this is the cabin.

lock was hard to open
cabin clean, no proof of mice till we got settled in, then we got 'em
The wood stove in the bunkroom needs the rope replaced, it was hard to keep an even heat going
will definitely reserve again

Beautiful location, nice cabin! We brought our own water and were glad we did, as the water system was down for drinking water. Other than that, wonderful stay!

We didn't have much snow for skiing, but enjoyed the trail out of the cabin up to Middle Peak. We also hiked the trails into Bond Lake, Deerhead Lake, and out to Dinner Station. All good. Our only concern was that there didn't seem to be a lot of firewood supply, unless it is stashed in the locked outbuilding. Other than that, great cabin and good time.
