Bear Creek Cabin (Beaverhead-deerlodge National Forest, MT)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
