About Zips Place Cabin

Zip's Place Cabin is located 48 miles east of Hungry Horse, in northwestern Montana. It provides a beautiful setting on property that was originally a homestead granted in 1937. In 1945 the land was bought by the Kimmet family of Cut Bank, and in 1954 the family constructed the cabin that resides there today. Visitors enjoy a variety of recreational activities, including hiking, biking, winter sports and viewing wildlife. The cabin can be accessed by vehicle during the summer months. The summer parking area is approximately 120 ft. from the cabin, some visitors find a cart to be helpful to transport gear to the cabin. During the winter months when snow is present or when the road conditions are impassable, guests must park at the designated winter parking area and hike, snowmobile, ski, or snowshoe approximately one mile to the cabin. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

The perfect cabin to come back to after a long day of hiking. Great access from the highway and well appointed with little things from others over the years. Would come back over and over!

It was awesome. We keep getting sloppy weather on our visits. The power went out in the middle of the night but we were thankful for the propane furnace.

We enjoyed the total experience, from the comfort of the cabin to the wonder of the surrounding area with skiing and snowshoeing activities. Thanks for making this treasure available to the public.

Cabin was clean and cozy. The best part of our visit was that we were above the valley fog, in the crisp sunshine and fluffy snow. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing around the cabin were refreshing activities and with the long evenings, we played some fierce board games. Had to break through the ice to get the stream water. The kitchen is very well equipped.

Awesome cabin. We've stayed many times. Oven didn't work and bed covers need to be replaced.

Great cabin with electricity! Stove works great once you get the pilot light lit again. (Who ever stayed before us turned heat off)

Fully stocked kitchen! (we had to do the pile of nasty dirty dished left in the sink by the last renters).

Lots of games and puzzles to occupy the time!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It is very clean and well taken care of. It has a nice, quiet and private spot off a good dirt road. Very convenient location for sightseeing.
