About Zips Place Cabin

Zip's Place Cabin is located 48 mi 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 cabin was nice and big with lots of beds. There were games and puzzles. The kitchen had all the dishes and pots and pan you needed. You had to go outside to go to the bathroom. There was no running water in the cabin so you had to go outside to get the water. The dishes we used I washed them before we used them. We heard mice in the walls at night which made it hard to sleep. The cabin was about 1 hour from the west entrance of Glacier National Park.

We loved our time at this cabin. It is very comfortable. The kids enjoyed the creek and watching all the frogs. I hope to go back soon

Love the cabin and the location. It was a great stay over all. Just wish this one had firewood. If you want a fire make sure you bring firewood.

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.
