What Guests Are Saying
Bear Creek Cabin is a charming, well-stocked cabin with a historical feel, located in a beautiful area with easy access to multiple trails. Although it was clean, some basic supplies like toilet paper and dish soap were missing, and the kitchen utensils were limited. The wood stove is less effective for heating in winter, requiring guests to sit close for warmth.

Stayed one night in all my 14 days and we couldn't even build a fire because the stove pipe leaked smoke so bad we had to open doors for an hour. I tried to cancel stay a few times but web site wouldn't let me and also chatted with your help line as well.

We had a hard time getting fire started in main cabin. Perhaps outlet pipe needs cleaning. Bunkhouse stove: Could not regulate the flue. otherwise, cabin is great.

Overall, the experience was excellent, despite temperatures falling below -5 deg F during the day (w/o wind chill). We had only one live mouse in the cabin ... I did not see it long enough to tell whether it was a deer mouse or a house mouse. Good amount of cobwebs on ceiling. The cabin BADLY needs a mop, to clean the floor. Why post signs about hantavirus danger, yet only provide straw brooms for cleaning? Although I understand the funding squeeze for USFS given increasing frequency and costs of firefighting, it somewhat saddens one to see the cost of a cabin rise to more than the cost of a hotel in rural MT($73./night).
There were lots of fun games to play, as outside temperatures provided some danger to lungs. Someone (either a local landowner, or USFS) very kindly plowed the road after the fresh snow, which obviated our cautious approach of driving the truck out the night before the snow and skiing out the morning after the fresh snow. Cabin was VERY well stocked, with fridge, 4-burner stove + oven, electric lights, nice beds with pads, dishes and silverware, board games, puzzles, firewood, etc.

The cabin needs some repairs and expect to do some cleaning (inside and outside). The dogs “deposits” right by the front steps were a fun first site. All in all, it is a rustic experience that we enjoyed once we got it cleaned up.

5 th visit here and loved it again. I only live 3 miles away but it always feel like it’s much more remote. Was nice and clean.
