The cabin was very clean upon arrival, with effective renovations and well-maintained furnishings, including comfortable mattresses. The fireplace provided ample heat, making the space cozy. Overall, it was a great stay, and the reviewer plans to rent the cabin again for future seasons.

What a great location and a nice cabin! I appreciated the gray water drain sink to the outside, running water outside, and plentiful wood for the outdoor fire ring and indoor stove. The previous visitors left the cabin in great shape. I was happy to have an extra set of mantels for the lantern, but it needs a new globe.
Part of staying in the woods is being around the wildlife, including mice. There were many signs, and I highly recommend bringing disinfecting wipes or spraying with paper towels to wipe everything down. I even had a few check me out after it got dark thinking, “Who’s in our house?”
Overall, it was a great experience, and I recommend taking advantage of the gracious offering of the National Forest Service. I look forward to visiting again soon.

This cabin is a perfect little escape. Make sure you have lanterns/headlamps because the cabin is VERY dark at night with all of the shutters closed. Make sure you read (and contribute!) to the cabin log book. So many wonderful stories of the cabin’s storied past.

Had a great weekend stay at the kading cabin. Hiked to Blackfoot meadows, which was an easy 8 mile round trip hike. The cabin was well furnished and very clean and comfortable. I’d definitely recommend a stay there . I’ll be back in the future!

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.
