About Fairview Ranger Station

This remote cabin was built in 1908 and served as an administration building for the Wolf Creek District of the Blackfeet National Forest. The Blackfeet NF was dissolved in 1935 becoming part of the Kootenai & Flathead NF. Fairview was used as a remote work station until 1980. In 2011 major work was done to restore the cabin and put it on the rental system. The cabin is open year-round and is accessible by car.

The cabin was actually great for us, but not for citified folks who haven’t been exposed to gas lanterns, Forgotten, flashlights, no Internet, Unexpected, broken mops and don’t really want to get down on their hands and knees with a rag to clean the floors. 😆

Nice comfortable cabin. Paved road to the driveway. Need to know several thousand acres of private land in the area is now closed to public use. Money has come to town and country. Thanks Wolf Prairie!

Excellent place to stay. The propane stove and furnace worked well. There were no insects or rodents in the cabin. The previous guests left the place very clean as did we. We swept well and boiled creek water to mop the floor. The kitchen pots, pans and dishes were minimal so bring what you need. We enjoyed the campfire (brought our own wood), horseshoes, quick dip in the creek and laughter with family. It was nice that the dog could be with us. Remember to bring your own water and flashlights. I wish we would have brought bikes.

Unfortunately we were not able to get to the cabin, we had a family emergency, but recreation.gov was a pleasure to work with and we will be staying here in the future for sure!

It was a nightmare. 7 degrees the first night, and the heater wouldn't work. We had to rely on the stove burners for heat, and then the fridge started leaking water all over the floor. We had the cabin for two nights. After trying to sleep the first night in our full hunting gear, and still seeing your own breath, we left. Another night of torture avoided. This cabin might be fun in the summer, but not at all for winter time. If you are going up during hunting season, I suggest that you bring your own propane heater. I hope they liked the free money because we left early.
