About Cummings Cabin

Located 8.5 miles east of Lincoln, Montana, Cummings Cabin is a historic structure, representative of the old mining cabins that dotted the countryside in the greater Lincoln area around 1910. The cabin has been determined eligible for inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the cabin is a rustic getaway for guests seeking relaxation and recreation in the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. The cabin has a hand pump for water, propane range, propane lights, a wood stove, silverware, dishes, cleaning supplies, outdoor fire ring, 2 full size beds and one twin bed.  In the snow free months guests can drive directly to the cabin, but in the winter be prepared to snow shoe or ski up to a mile to get to the cabin.

No issues driving in snow in mid November. Cabin and outhouse were clean and well stocked. Compared to other cabins I have rented, this one has all the amenities (propane stove, lights, dry sink set up, water pump) and is a short drive from Lincoln so is less of an adventure but makes the time there more relaxing. Would recommend as a getaway any time of the year.

Well stocked, maintained and clean cabin. Entry door threshold plate is loose so you have to force the door open. Water from the hand pump was slightly colored, recommend you bring your own water when staying. The cabin had a new splitting maul that worked out well. Only saw one mouse during our time there.

My wife and I had the most relaxing & enjoyable visit to the cabin last week. Having an outdoor firepit and indoor wood burning fireplace was wonderful. We got to cook over the fire outside then bring dinner inside to eat by the fire. The propane lanterns are such a cool reminder of the past (minus the propane of course). But it still felt very pioneer day to use the mantles. We appreciated the lack of cell service. DIdn't reach for the phone except for a few photos. It is wonderful to disconnect once in a while. The woodshed is fully stocked and still standing thanks to the efforts of the forest service. Even the local crew swung by to test the well water while we were there. It was great having the window shutters because it helped hold in the heat overnight. The double bed mattress in the front room was comfortable and per the usual we had our own sheets, pillows, and blankets. A big plus that the kitchen has a giant pot so we could heat water on the wood stove overnight. Kept the air from getting too dry.
We will be back for sure!

Clean and as expected. I loved the cabin. If you camp, this is like camping with a whole lot of security and a nice kitchen area. Stove was great even in July. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants some time alone.

Very comfortable bed! Like the separate kitchen area.
The well water has a lot of "discoloration" (maybe iron?).
Love the firepit and small stream. Was great family vacation time.

A truly wonderful place to get away! No cell service, no traffic noise, just the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

Cabin is easy to get to and is daily near the town of Lincoln. Very interesting cabin. Lots of logging going on in the general area so noisy during the day. Cabin is very very rustic.
