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.

Awesome cabin&location. Cool history and respectful guests who have left extras for the next visitors. Seems to have a lot of localism visitors who do a good job leaving the place better than they found it.

Zip's Place was exactly as advertised. It is comfortable, functional, spacious enough and privately situated for days of peaceful rest or hiking.

Never seen a USFS cabin in such bad shape - no sponges, no hand soap, no paper towels, no hand towels - all of which we've had provided both at Zips and other cabins rented in the past. Previous occupants only did the minimum to clean up as posted on the cabin wall: wipe countertops and sweep/mop floors. There were dirty pans in the kitchen, the microwave was filthy, rugs hadn't been shaken so were filled with dirt and pine needles, the dining table was filthy, the outhouse wasn't swept, etc. A real checklist would help renters do a better job of preparing the cabin for the next who rent it and USFS staff should keep basic cleaning supplies stocked. Very disappointed in the experience.

Beautiful and remote setting with Big Bear Wilderness not far out the back door. Cabin very cozy with propane heat. Two bedrooms. No indoor bathroom. No indoor water in winter at least. We got water in the creek right behind the cabin and boiled it.

Awesome cabin in a beautiful location! Great jumping off spot for hiking, Nordic skiing or backcountry skiing. Skied Baldhead mtn and Snowslip while we were there. The cabin is well maintained and very clean. Special treat for a cabin like this is the gas fireplace and electricity:)
