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.

We had such a wonderful time. The cabin is beautiful. I am planning another visit already. The only thing I would suggest is getting the double bed upstairs fixed. It is very noisy.
A few more forks would be great

Exactly what I expected when I booked it. Stayed in Jan 2022. The biggest complaint I read about was people being mad that random people stop by to use the toilet, which it is clearly a public forest service toilet. Instruction for how to operate all propane appliances were clear and concise. Light is minimal and none upstairs (rec bringing head lamps and table lantern). The cabin got plenty warm with just the propane stove and it was 0 deg F over night. Called the ranger station a week before our stay and they were able to give accurate description of road conditions (intermittently plowed by BNSF RR in winter, paved road with compacted snow/ice on the whole surface, no steep grades or super sketchy sections, NEED 4WW/AWW vehicle in winter, rec chains if going when actively snowing).

This was our second year here, much more snow this year. Beautiful as always. Thank you to everyone who came before us and treated this place as it should be, with respect and care. It was bitterly cold but the fire place kept us comfortable.

9/2 - 9/6/21. I love this cabin! The stove, fridge and gas fireplace work great! Nice big windows. Spent hours on the front porch reading, knitting, watching the butterflies and listening to the creek and coyotes. Sunrises were gorgeous.

Was disappointed with people stopping by to use the toilet two different times. We were gone for 1/2 hour and returned to a group of 12 on ATV’s inside the fence having a picnic and wandering around the cabin. They were surly when asked to leave.

If the driveway could be chained or gated for privacy, I would give 5 stars.
