Location was perfect for a winter overnight. Three couples got to explore the area on arrival, then sat out by a fire (with the sound of the North Fork in the background) from sunset to 8pm before heading inside for dinner. After a lot of conversation around a cozy wood fireplace, we hit the sack late and slept like logs till 9am breakfast! Finished off the trip with a cleated hike up the road to Bowman Lake.

we have stayed many times for over 30 years at FS cabins, and Ben Rover is one of our favorites. It was a lovely place to spend my 70th birthday, lots of deep beautiful snow. An extra step by the back door would be helpful, but enjoyed all the other improvements.

Loved this cabin close to Polebridge Mercantile and Northern Lights saloon made it even better. There were 4 of us staying at the cabin and we had plenty of room. It was close to the West Glacier entrance so it was the perfect spot for us to call home.

Ben Rover Cabin is located 35 miles 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.
