About Bloody Dick Cabin

Bloody Dick Cabin, named after the English Trapper Richard "Bloody" Leigh, is a small wood frame cabin. Nestled in the evergreens near Reservoir Lake in Southwestern Montana's Bitterroot Mountains - the cabin is available for rental year-round. Popularity peaks during the summer and fall seasons with hikers, ohv enthusiasts, and big game hunters. During spring and winter, the nearby lake freezes promoting ice fishing while several area winter trails offer cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. During the snow free season- the cabin is accessible by passenger vehicle, however some portions are gravel, dirt and rock, making it rough and slow going. Snow conditions limit mobility in the area. Depending on the snow levels, renters may need to travel up to 23 miles by snowmobile or skis to reach the cabin. Renters are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities. There is no cell phone coverage in the area.

Water system closed … this was not disclosed. Remote location should always disclose this in advance. Road work on culverts did not allow access by vehicle to cabin. Very poor experience due to failure of Forest service to disclose important details.

Cabin in great shape, and the new solar panel and electric lighting is a nice touch. Many trees down over the Eunice Creek Trail due to a forest fire.

Beaverhead Forest Service needs to do more for these recreation spots and stop taking so much money.

Beautiful cabin. Well taken care of grounds. Loved the area. The stars were amazing.

Mosquitoes were awful but that’s the nature and not the cabin. Lol

I have stayed at over 3 dozen FS cabins and this cabin is deplorable. It is absolutely filthy inside, no garbage can for the garbage bags that you must bring even though other cabins smartly provide them, there is NO RUNNING WATER anywhere at the cabin or the campground, the ax handle is split all the way down so you cannot chop wood, no picnic table, the bathroom is filthy, reeks, and they don't stock tp?? There is absolutely no silverware and very minimal dishes, no cleaning supplies as stated. The prison cot mattresses need to be replaced. I realize these are rustic cabins, however when you expect there to be water, cleaning supplies, an ax, tp, etc... This cabin was an extremely disappointing vaca for everyone involved and I will never stay here again!

We snowmobiled in from Jackson for our first visit 1/26-1/28. The trip was a grand adventure and we love the historical connections to Chief Joseph and Lewis and Clark. The route was not totally clear at a few junctions but Onyx was an excellent tool, if you have it. The cabin is clean and has the usual supplies.The woodshed is well stocked with rounds - we split extra to leave for the next guests. Plan to split wood for your stay. There are great loops of winding trails to explore if you have the snow. Heads up to those following us in the next month or so - the snow level was frighteningly low for 7400’ at the end of January and it decreased while we were there. Based on the log entries, it seems visitors are expecting water to be available and are often surprised. Heads up that you should probably bring what you will need..

We had a great time at Bloody Dick. Nice surprise that there were a couple lights. The gas oven does not get very hot but we improvised on the wood stove with our bakeables.
