About Wall Creek Cabin

Located at the east base of the Gravelly Range, Wall Creek Cabin is a small dwelling that gives guests access to prime elk and deer viewing, as access is through a state Wildlife Management Area. It is typically open to the public from mid-May through November, offering ample opportunity to explore southwestern Montana. Built in about 1930, the rental cabin was originally a crew quarters/warehouse/garage. The compound served as headquarters for the Wall Creek Ranger District, later the Madison District, until the 1940s. There are currently four log buildings at the site, including the small rental cabin, a barn and a main "Ranger" cabin and it's woodshed. The barn and corral and main cabin are used by grazing permit holders. Only the smaller cabin with a small holding corral is available for public use. Though usually quiet, there may be work activity associated with grazing management, with cowboys, horses and dogs living at the site, and their days often start early. The site can easily be reached by vehicle though roads may be muddy or snow covered. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Beautiful surroundings, easy to find, super clean cabin. Didn’t realize I would have a neighbor 20 yards away.

The cabin is well equipped. Bring a few little propane bottles and food. Fortunately I had a spare mantle with me for the provided light, as one needed to be replaced. (small signal size). Wood stove will turn the cabin into a sauna if you let the fire run to hot, to long. First snow of the year while we were here and it was beautiful. Seen some deer and elk but no shooters.(Elk season just started 2 days prior).

A nice hideaway with spectacular views. Surrounding buildings, barn, etc make it even more quaint. The horses that pasture there and the rancher who handles them are a joy and he was a lot of fun to talk to.
