Crandall Creek Cabin

What a beautiful cabin in an equally beautiful setting. Bunk beds are high, which is appreciated for tall adults like me, but the mattresses are not so comfortable. Bring your own topper or swap out with an air mattress if you're picky like me. Also, I was there for 3 nights and during a 3am walk to the outhouse on my last night there my dog was going crazy around my car, and upon popping the hood I discovered a rather large wood rat, or pack rat, sitting in my engine. Left the hood up and let my dog harass it outta there. Luckily no damage, but I'll be leaving my hood up on all my next cabin adventures.

The Crandall cabin is clean, cozy, and fun! Would love to go back and spend a week there!

It was great except there were only two chair, one of which was broken. We jererigged it. If anyone decides to sit in it and is very large, it will collapse.

We recently enjoyed a wonderful stay in a newer cabin. The layout was perfect, with a separate sleeping area featuring bunk beds, providing a cozy space for the kids.

Unfortunately, the cabin was plagued by thousands of dead and dying flies. Cleaning them up from the window tracks, table, and floor was quite a chore, but to be expected with the warm fall temperatures.

Despite this minor issue, we found the cabin well-equipped: a large dining table with bench seating, a secondary table with a cabinet, and an outdoor picnic table. The fire ring and ample firewood made for enjoyable evenings.

The night sky was truly breathtaking, and we were fortunate enough to witness a magnificent comet passing through. We highly recommend this cabin and look forward to returning in the future.

Clean and well kept for, stove works and was spare canisters but don't always count on it.

Crandell Creek Cabin is awesome! It was exceptionally clean and well stocked. It had plenty of firewood, a Coleman Stove, some extra cans of propane (we left a few), some plates, cutlery, two skillets, salt and pepper, paper towels, toilet paper and some cleaning supplies, some decks of cards. There was not enough snow yet for us to ski out so we ended up driving up (Thanksgiving 2024). Highly recommend!

Easily the nicest MT Forest Service Cabin I've stayed in. Sturdy beds, nice windows, solid table, good wood stove. The location is scenic with lots of access to roads and trails to explore, and easy to get there in a vehicle. Good outhouse. Easy to pump water out of the Shields down at the campground. No noise from critters scurrying around under the floorboards or on the rooftop at night like some other cabins. The only downside was the massive amount of dead and dying flies in the cabin. We swept up several hundred when we first checked in, and continued to sweep up hundreds of dead and dying flies over the next two days as they continuously appeared throughout our stay. If you're squeamish about flies, this may not be the cabin for you. If it weren't for the flies, this would definitely be a 5 out of 5 cabin.

My 3rd visit/ stay at Crandall over 6 yrs, each time has been great. We always appreciate the previous campers making sure everything was clean & tidy, we leave it the same clean. With extra firewood ready.

Beautiful location. Very nice, new cabin.

I know it’s a bad time of the year for flies, but this was too much for me and the wife. Sure we could have cleaned the dead flies out but there were just as many flying inside the windows/cabin. And they would be back the next day and flying around all night inside. We never stayed in the cabin and then to only receive a partial refund. There’s no way the people prior to us left it like this or stayed in it. This cabin should be closed down until it is fixed/cleaned. It was a waste of time.
