Couldn't believe how well plowed the road was right up to the cabin's front door. Way to go, Flathead County! It took a while to get the big space heated up--we were there on a weekend of -20F lows--but it retained heat fairly well once we got it up to temp. Huge thanks to the FS for all their work stocking the woodshed. We ended up sleeping beside the stove for warmth. The gas lamps were a wonderful luxury, and allowed us to read the Wurtz family's story aloud to each other after nightfall. That story is like watching a Cohen brother's movie; riveting and terrifying. Went skinning on some trails and roads. Had a great time. The cabin is well stocked with supplies and goodies. Can't wait to return when it's warmer!

Words cabin was beautiful it was very comfortable beds are a bit squeaky but it makes for more fun with the overall group. The kitchen was well stocked the stove is amazing gas stove commercial grade… Caught one mouse as expected, don’t leave food out on the counters…
The view from the cabin is to die for we had a bonfire both nights brought our own wood snowshoeing and cross-country skiing right across the road put your gear on at the cabin was so much fun the borders only 8 miles away Polebridge Mercantile is closed in the winter we missed our huckleberry bear claw pastries LOL we’ll catch another one in the summer it was a great time nice cabin.

Lovely Wurtz is always a great time. In the winter, I'd recommend having tire chains to make it to Wurtz. We likely wouldn't have made it to Wurtz without tire chains (rain on ice). Excellent forest to explore and don't forget to bring your own wood for the outdoor firepit (the supplied wood is only for indoor fireplace- it seems that previous renters didn't realize this). Kitchen was clean and for the first time we saw no evidence of mice! Can't wait for next time.

We have been there for the last 2 years as a family. We had a murder mystery party there last year. The grand kids love it. It is so great to disconnect for a weekend. We plan to come back next fall also.

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.
