The West Fork Cabin offers a clean and well-maintained retreat for 1 or 2 guests, with a peaceful atmosphere and a lovely setting, making it ideal for a summer getaway. However, access to the cabin can be challenging due to inadequate directions and difficult road conditions, which has caused frustration for some guests. Overall, while the cabin is comfortable and tidy, improved navigation information would enhance the experience.

Great spot, but tough to get to-- flat tire on truck due to sharp rock 2 mi from cabin. Too bad that fire took out trees to the west of the cabin to keep it from being in shade in afternoon.

Cabin was very clean. Outhouse was decent but Hill to it very icy so wear your boots. Lots of wood split and ready. No issues.

Horrible, nonexistent directions to the cabin!!! Was on the phone for 30 minutes with a forestry ranger who could not figure it out and together we tried to figure the route out on All Trails. We never got to the cabin. According to the route that we figured out it would be two hours of driving once we got off of 287. About 5 mi into this two hour drive, there was so much snow pack on the road we were sliding all over in an F250 4x4. So, so disappointing. If there is not a more specific and manageable route to get to the cabin, then this cabin should not be available for rent until at least June 1st. Very frustrating and a waste of our time and money. Lost two nights of reservation and a very disappointed 12 y/o boy.

Great little cabin for 1 or 2. Too bad about most of the trees being burned a while back, so there's not much shade now. Like the quiet, and the spring. No live mice caught, but sounded like some were in the walls/attic.

From Ennis, travel south on Highway 287 for about 30 mi, then head northwest on Standard Creek Road for about 20 mi and 10 mi south on Forest Road 290. The majority of the road to the cabin is gravel and has some long, steep grades, which may require four-wheel drive. The road can be treacherous and impassable if the conditions are wet or snowy, often in mid-October and November. Over snow vehicles are necessary in winter, permissable after December 1. All roads in the Gravelly Range are closed to wheeled motorized use from April 1 through June 30. Maps (Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest-South) may be purchased by calling the Madison Ranger District.
The West Fork Cabin is accessible via Highway 287, which is approximately 30 miles north of the cabin, providing the main route from Ennis.
