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 hoped to do some snowshoeing but the snow was pretty melted, but we managed to do a nice 9 mile hike. We really enjoyed the fire pit. On our way home we stopped at the brewery in Libby for a great lunch and Kootenai Falls.

I stayed at this cabin when bicycling through this area. First off, this area is excellent for cycling, beautiful country, paved roads (careful of incredible potholes though), no traffic, and lots of trains (yes!). The cabin was a very nice peaceful getaway. Had everything I needed for a comfortable night, just tossed my sleeping bag on the downstairs fold-out futon. Well stocked kitchen for cooking, comfy couch, big loft with 3 beds, clean and neat. Modern vault outhouse. There is a creek right in front to clean up in after a long sweaty ride and to get drinking water (for filtering or boiling to drink). Will stay there again!

Such a cool place to stay! Would not advise driving to it at night for the first time, a little spooky. We’d still love to come back though!

This is a well stocked, clean, and comfortable cabin. All appliances (fridge, stove, heater) all worked. The grounds were mostly clean except the deer legs laying around. The stairs going up to the bedrooms are very narrow so be cautious!

A remote, awesome piece of Montana to get away. The cabin is in great shape and it's a cozy place when it's cold. You may hear a scurry and the upstairs is sparce but the kitchen and cook area is great, the surrounding area second to none. It's close to many natural resources and we can't speak highly enough about it, although we hesitate to because then everyone will want to go there.
