The cabin is great! unfortunately when we visited it was really cold, when we got there it was -9F and it stayed very cold, the rest of the stay. The wood stove works well, but we didn't do as much outside as we had liked. Lovely spot. We will come back later when is warmer.

Mothers Day 2021....
Had a Great time at the Big Creek Cabin!!! Being located so near to Chico Hot Springs in Pray,MT. it offers an inexpensive alternative to staying at the resort while being able to camp in the woods only 15-25min away. I would recommend this cabin for any larger groups & we are looking forward to returning after the upcoming renovations. There is a road directly in front of the cabin & we had several hunters walking past (spring bear hunt) but no problems there. The drive in was beautiful & the road was manageable without 4wh. drive, but would recommend it if conditions were wet or snowy. The road gate was locked (prior to May 15th) but it's a SHORT 5min walk to the cabin from the parking lot there. Big Creek is about 50 ft. from the back porch where we did some awesome rockhounding, had a nice fire with light snow flurries flying. This cabin does offer a large wood burning oven in a separate kitchen which would be ideal in inclement weather, but we were still able to cook outdoors on the provided camp fire/cook ring near the creek. Thank You U.S.F.S., We will be back !!!

This cabin was fabulous! We had no trouble keeping it warm as long as we kept the fire stoked. We enjoyed sitting on the porch enjoying the morning sun. The road can get a little juicy, take your time and watch for oncoming traffic and watch for wildlife! We were lucky enough to have a mountain lion run in front of us on the road for about 20 ft. We only hiked up the road but next time want to spend more time investigating the trails. A truly wonderful experience and won't hesitate to book another week!!
