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.

Awesome historical cabin and we loved reading about it. Cabin and amenities are all very nice. Tons of space. The fire pit area has beautiful views but is also overlooking the busy dirt road. We were there in spring but I imagine you get quite a bit of dust in the summer.

We love this cabin. We have stayed several times in differing seasons and have not had a bad experience. Love the North Fork!

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.
