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.

This cabin was a real surprise. Private, cozy. But watch out for the mice. Found one in the back of the pickup two days later. Must have been in our gear. Check out the slag piles down the road. Also, check out the CCC camp just up the hill from the cabin. Educational.

What a place. Idyllic. I hate to take a star off for something so petty, but there was no potable water due to an apparent disagreement between the Forest Service and UM-Western. No matter. A small inconvenience, all things considered. I'm not a fan of the bedroom--I find it close--so I slept outside while my sister slept in the room. Those two little things won't keep me from coming back, over and over again. Oh, and my elderly Aussie loved the brook. For a dog that doesn't like water that much, he sure spent a lot of time in it. And I haven't seen him this happy in a long, long time.

Be sure to check out the old CCC camp. Some nice story boards. Also, some pretty good short hikes in the immediate vicinity.

Very nice cabin in a great location. The cabin was clean and well maintained. The creek and nature trail were very nice. The area offers fantastic ohv opportunities. Bring lots of extra gas.

As always, love this cabin and the location.
This year though there were a ton of deer flies. No amount of bug spray would keep them away.
Still itching!!

Fun area to explore, and a spring 3 mi away helped the fact that there was no potable water at the cabin.
