There are too many tourists in the area, don’t bother coming. The tack on fees from this contractor (Booz-Allen?) are ridiculous. The USFS is wonderful, gov’t contractors aren’t. This cabin was once used by my wife’s great Uncle. Good -lace to ‘shroom. Hmmmm, did I mention too many people, and they improved the road in unfortunately.

Loved this cabin. Very comfortable and clean. We were able to raft to the cabin and keep the raft roped up on shore and then float from the cabin to Big Creek the next day. It is fun to walk to the Northern Lights Saloon for dinner and entertainment. Polebridge Merchantile is an outstanding bakery.

As always, Ben Rover is a wonderful experience. Two things need immediate attention. The oven does not stay on. And one of the single bed mattresses has a hole in it and is full of mouse turds. That is a serious health hazard, essentially making that room unusable.

Cabin was clean and information accurate. No surprises. Great location on the river with a large meadow right next door perfect for star gazing. Convenient to Park entrance and we had a great time cross country skiing up towards Kintla lake. Plan to come back, perhaps in a different season and hope to bring family or friends. The only challenge is the pot-hole riddled road to get there!

Ben Rover Cabin is located 35 mi north of Columbia Falls, on North Fork Road (County Road 486). From Columbia Falls, travel north on Nucleus Avenue. Turn east at the stop sign, on Railroad Street. The road becomes the North Fork Road as it travels over the railroad overpass. At mile 35 on the North Fork Road, turn east one mile following signs to the town of Polebridge. Turn left (north) to Ben Rover Cabin which is a half-mile from Polebridge on the right. If you cross into Glacier National Park, you have gone too far. The majority of the road from Columbia Falls to Ben Rover Cabin is gravel, so be prepared for dust during your drive and at the cabin.
North Fork Road is gravel, intermittently plowed during the winter. A four-wheel-drive vehicle with chains is recommended in winter.
