About Moose Creek Cabin

Moose Creek Cabin is situated in an grassy clearing surrounded by conifer forest in the Tenmile Creek drainage west of Helena, Montana. The cabin was constructed in 1907 and used by the Forest Service during the early history of the agency. It has served as a Forest Service Ranger Station, guard station, and work center for the Civilian Conservation Corps. Today, the cabin is a rustic retreat for guests seeking relaxation and recreation. The cabin is accessible by car, but guests should park on the adjacent road and cross a footbridge to get to the cabin. Many amenities are offered at the cabin, so guests only need to bring a few of their own supplies.

This ended up being a great halfway stop from Yellowstone and Glacier. It was really peaceful here. Not sure what happens at night though. I don’t know if people were out looking for wildlife but there were quite a few cars that stopped and turned around at the cabin and went back the way they came. Other than that and the funky looking bees, this place was great. The cabin was clean and roomy. Loved the old kitchen stove!

It's a very nice cabin in a beautiful setting. The weather was nice, too. It could have been cleaner when we got there, though.
