A very cool old cabin and it was actually available when i was biking through! It kept me dry during a rainy August night - much appreciated!

just a beautiful part of Northwest Montana, and the house is really well equipped as far as kitchen equipment. huge wolf stove, pit toilet well maintained, and you've got a huge yard and fire pit outside. I'm pretty sure upstairs there were three queen beds and something like six twins, and then there's a little bedroom with a queen bed on the ground floor plus ample seating couches and a wood stove in the main room. there's even a covered porch you can sit outside if it's raining or snowing, and I feel lucky that I got to stay there twice in the past 7 years.

Clean and comfy. The road is close and the dust can be bad if dry.

We really enjoyed our night spent in this historic cabin and the views are breathtaking! Only reason we didn’t give 5 stars was that not everyone who stays cleans the floors and surfaces after they leave, so we had a lot of grime. It’s pretty far away from FS offices for recreation staff to get out there between guests to check. We came prepared for that, with plenty of cleaning supplies and brought our own kitchen supplies, etc. The cabin was well stocked with cutlery, plates, cups, cookware and all.

I'm from Alaska where firewood is supplied in Forest Service cabins.
The Wurtz Cabin has firewood supplied only thru the end of April...it can get COLD in May!
I was hoping for enough firewood to heat the cabin as it was below freezing in the morning.
I stayed only 1 of the 2 nights because it was so cold.

From Columbia Falls, travel north on Nucleus Avenue and turn east onto Railroad Street at the stop sign. The road becomes North Fork Road as it travels over the railroad overpass. Drive past the Schnaus and Ford rental cabins, and Wurtz is located on the west side of the road. Use caution during the winter, as the gravel road is only intermittently plowed. Chains and four-wheel drive are required for passage. The majority of the road from Columbia Falls to Wurtz Cabin is gravel, so be prepared for dust during your drive and at the cabin.
