Kading Cabin was great when we went in July 2022. The cabin was in good shape. Good fishing in the Little Blackfoot River and the hike adjacent to the campground was very good. We saw 2 people and a moose there. The cabin overlooks the campground that's just 100yards away. No issues or noise with any of the campers. The road in is fine. Bumpy in spots. Flies near the cabin but hellacious.

Cozy cabin, with a babbling brook and trail access. Nice firepit, picnic table, thick mattress, water spigot close, propane stove (bring fuel), bbq (bring brickets) and lots of wood.

Skied into the cabin for an overnighter. Probably the 8-10th time we've done so (always in the Winter). It's a nice, cozy cabin and in Winter- very peaceful. There was plenty of firewood and a maul to split; no axe, so I recommend bringing a small one to make kindling with (maul won't work for that). The cabin has a propane lantern and two burner propane stove, so bring two bottles. As the wood stove is running most of the time we are there, I always set the big pan on the stove full of water (running water at a well head spigot feet from the cabin) to add a little moisture to the air and always have water for cleaning. The wood stove is pretty efficient, but plan on getting up a few times at night to add firewood (if it's cold) if you want the cabin to stay warm.
Enjoy!

Located 25 miles southwest of Helena, Montana in the Little Blackfoot drainage, the cabin can be reached via US Highway 12, turning left (south) onto Little Blackfoot River Road just east of Elliston. From this intersection, it is approximately 16 miles to the cabin. The cabin is located on the north side of the road, directly across from the entrance to Kading Campground.
During the winter months, Little Blackfoot River Road is only plowed on a regular basis as far as Hat Creek. Normally, the county plows the road to this point and makes a turn-around for parking. Approximately 7 more miles of unplowed road remain to reach the cabin. This section of road is closed to vehicles but open to those who like to ski, snowmobile or use dog sleds.
The cabin is accessible via US Highway 12, located approximately 25 miles northeast of the cabin. Little Blackfoot River Road provides access from US Highway 12 to the cabin.
