About Horse Prairie Cabin

Horse Prairie Cabin is a fairly large, two-room cabin situated on the edge of beautiful Horse Prairie in the southwestern corner of Montana. Forest service work crews used the cabin for lodging in the past. The cabin is available year-round and provides access to abundant hiking, biking, skiing and snowmobiling trails. It is equipped with a variety of amenities, providing guests with a somewhat comfortable and adventurous experience in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. The cabin is accessible by vehicle, depending on conditions. Excessive snowfall may require skis, snowmobiles or hiking for up to six miles of the route. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

First time staying in FS cabin. Loved it!! Was clean, had firewood, stayed toasty warm with the wood stove, even with the blizzard we had one morning. Will do it again. The propane cookstove and lights were wonderful. We are used to camping in a wall tent during hunting season and this was a step up for sure. (Still love tent camping too.) Wasn’t sure what equipment/supplies were there so brought our own cooking/cleaning supplies. Though most people could probably get by with the pots, pans and griddle that was there. Vault toilet was clean and well supplied. Nice job FS for the upkeep on this cabin. Cell phone service was great and even able to watch some YouTube.

Great cabin! Just be prepared to provide your own lighting. The lanterns attached to the propane system lacked mantles, and none of the stores in Dillon had them in stock.

Great place to stay for any adventure. Used the cabin while hunting black bear in the Blood Dick Valley (no luck though because weather didn’t cooperate).
