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.

We love this cabin. Having electric and the amenties that go with, refrigerator, stove, outlets; makes this an easy place to slip away. The trails surrounding are adventurous but amazing and we always see animal tracks. Thanks for understanding how precious nature is and trying to preserve it for all Zip!!

A tent would be cleaner and more cozy than eating and sleeping in this cabin. The windows were very dirty and there were bugs of all kinds everywhere---alive and dead. The previous occupant left a note on the kitchen counter that they had had mice on the counter, so we did not use the kitchen area or sink at all. We brought our own water and disposable plates, and stayed out of the kitchen except for using the fridge to keep our water cold. The furniture is old and dirty, and without blinds on the bedroom windows, we had to improvise covering them with blankets for the night.

The only thing that was redeeming during our stay was being able to walk around the area with the small creek nearby. Having the gate locked so one can't drive the vehicle up closer to the cabin leads to many trips back and forth taking gear, bedding, and food into the cabin and really seemed like a needless hindrance. Overall, it just wasn't fun or pleasant. We know a lot about camping and being out in the toolies, and usually enjoy that very much---but just being around so much dirt and dust renting this cabin wasn't a good situation we would care to repeat. A decent tent or camper in the woods would bring more cleanliness and satisfaction.
