Bear Creek Cabin (beaverhead-deerlodge National Forest, Mt)

very cool cabin! well stocked, wood, stove works great. could feel the history there.

The cabin was clean but previous renters did not fill the wood box or cut kindling. There are only two forks (one plastic) and 5 spoons in the cabin. The road was well maintained by Madison County. The cabin needs TP and dish soap.

Beautiful location within steps of several trails for varying ability levels. Only complaint is that the woodstove does not do a good job of heating the cabin in the winter - had to sit close to the stove to keep warm if I wanted to take my coat off inside.

Overall, it exceeded my expectations. Recent snow storm helped fill our snow craving. Signs at nearest trailhead noted that the wildlife management areas are closed during certain times of the year (winter), so look into that before you plan to hike.

Due to lack of snow the cabin was very accessible. The cabin was clean, at least swept. There are only two forks, a cabin that accommodates 4 should have at least 4 forks. Lots of fire wood was avaliable and wood boxes were full. The only problem was odor from something dead in the crawl space. When the cabin warmed up we detected the smell. We have have used this cabin many times and will continue to in the future.

Great cabin! Super comfortable to hang out in. Easy to get to. Had fun snowshoeing up the trail.

This is probably my 4th year coming here. Love it and this year it was even cleaner and better organized then in years past. There is still some chairs etc that should be tossed but it’s way better. However since the cost per night has been increased substantially I feel I can be more critical.

The outhouse is a joke. It’s extremely old and we were there in January and it reeked! No lime or anything to subdue the odor. This just encourages people to defecate outside the outhouse. It’s disgusting and no one‘s gonna walk to the other one down the road so you should just put a nice one at the cabin. Either that, or don’t complain about the toilet paper that people leave here and there.

Cabin was in great shape, very clean. The wood stove is too small to adequately heat the entire cabin without the fireplace operable. Recommend up grading the wood stove.

Cabin was very clean on arrival. It has most everything you could possibly need.

A really fantastic spot that we’re lucky to have! Easy to access, and you’re near to a bunkhouse and a campground so you have company while still having privacy. A note that I looked high and low but couldn’t find the usual logbook and the refrigerator wasn’t working as best as I could tell. Just come prepared and understand that it’s a very well-maintained Forest Service cabin (that you play an important role in maintaining) and not an overpriced airbnb, and you’ll have a great time!
