Porcupine Cabin

Great place, only a couple grievances:
-View is too good.
-Sun was too bright
-Snow was too deep
-Stars were too bright
-Stove was too hot

"Wow" - is about the only word I had for most of my 3 night stay; the views are amazing. Perfect weather in May - sunny but cool. I can imagine it might get a little warm inside the cabin in mid summer, but the elevation and perfect shade tree in front will most likely help. Many choices in beds, when I arrived, someone had pushed two together and this was a great idea, and they were pretty comfortable for FS mattresses. The road in is a breeze - just the last mile or two are rocky and rutty, but not that bad with high clearance and taking it slow n steady. Had 1 car per day stop at trailhead and I had to wrangle my excited dogs, so be prepared for visitors at times. Can't wait to return.

Porcupine cabin turned out to be such a perfect retreat for me and my friends. We were trying to go backpacking, but with the cold front on the weekend, we realize camping in freezing temperatures and found this last minute. The fireplace made the whole cabin so cozy and the mattresses were so much more comfortable than any other service cabin I’ve stayed at. They do have some pots and pans, which was nice as well. The cabin was well stocked with wood for the inside, but just a note if you want to have a campfire outside, maybe bring your own firewood because they don’t let you use the inside firewood outside just to keep that resource. Overall, such a beautiful view and a nice place to be. Would recommend.

Cabin was clean when we arrived. good weather, beautiful views of the Shields Valley and the Bridgers. Left a Kindle behind and the District Ranger somehow managed to get it returned to us three days after we left.

This cabin was beautiful. Well stocked with pots pans utensils puzzles and games. Such an amazing spot. We saw a bull moose in the field by the cabin. Thank you Forest Service for a fabulous place to stay.

Close to trailhead!

The cabin was awesome! Really a nice spot to relax. The only thing I wasn’t prepared for was people camping at the trailhead which is only 200 ft away from cabin. There were at least 20 people that came up to camp at night while we were staying there. The road goes right in front of the cabin and there were vehicles coming driving by for hours. It wasn’t exactly the off grid remote cabin I thought it would be but it was still really enjoyable!

Really cool cabin with wood burning stove! Very close access to trails and great view of the Bridgers from a distance.

This was our third time renting the cabin. Everything was great except for the large window in the bedroom with the two beds slid next to each other. The crank on the window is broken and the previous guests just left it open which wasn't there fault. I managed to close and seal the window but if anyone tries to open it again they might not be able to close it securely. Otherwise it was perfect and we hope to return again!

What an awesome cabin, some spectacular views and good hiking right there! We saw a few deer and moose while there. The sunsets are hard to beat. bathroom was nice, cabin was in good shape. Be prepared for the mice invasion at night ( you could hear them running around inside the cabin). We cleaned all surfaces again each morning and found plenty of evidence.
