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.

Great setting for a mountain retreat with both outdoor (firepit) and indoor comfort. The crew had laid in firewood and we used it for the pit and indoor wood stove. Stars are amazing through the tall pines out back and the brook running alongside is sublime! Thank you FS for keeping the place up!

This cabin is a great getaway! First of all, access is so easy. The road to the cabin is a well-traveled road (and yes, you will hear some road noise from inside the building) but it's better than trying to four-wheel up a long unplowed driveway. You park right outside the yard, hardly a walk with your stuff. The cabin is fully stocked with dishes and utensils. It has a two-burner propane stove, very easy to use, a coffee maker, and a microwave - although I was unable to make the microwave work. There are 4 rooms in the cabin: kitchen, living room with 1 love seat and several wooden chairs, and 2 bedrooms with a total of 4 noisy beds (plastic-covered mattresses, old springs), a queen, a full, and two twins. Be ready to fire up the wood stove immediately upon arrival if you're visiting in winter. It was 19 degrees when we got there and exactly that warm inside too. Fortunately the wood stove warms up the whole cabin quickly! Bring toilet paper.

Too much private property in area. One of the roads into forest area closed for repair. The cabin itself was nice. Glass was broken out of the wood stove which we reported. Was a rainy day. Nice area except for mosquitos. Spent most of the time away in other areas very little to do in the area of the cabin.
