Great time! Big yard for group fun. Propane lanterns help it not be so dark inside. Plenty of dishes/pots/pans etc. Great gas range stove, oven, and griddle made group cooking so easy.

There is fire wood provided for the cabin only. For the outdoor fire pit you have to bring your own, which we did. Bring plenty of fire wood during the cold months. Cabin is well stocked with pots, dishes etc. We enjoyed our weekend at the Wurtz cabin.

almost perfect. A few issues mostly having to do with the public not the forest service. Last guests had a dog which we new by the poop outside. that is fine with us but we would all lilke to bring our dogs. Last guests did not fill the inside wood bin for the next guests us. Last guests turned off the heater clearly it says do not turn off the heater as the pilot light can be a pain. It was. I had to take apart the cover on the pilot and clean off the carbon deposit to get it to light. It was appropriately clean and neat. We had a great time as the weather cooperated.

The stay at the Wurtz was wonderful. We stayed there 7 years ago and finally had a chance to go back. We did some snowshoeing across the road down along the river with perfect snow conditions. The cabin is big and inviting and we loved having the wood stove, when the temperatures were in the teens we were warm and toasty inside. Thank You USFS for having these cabins open for us to rent.

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.
