Please note that the directions say the driveway to the cabin is located on the right. The driveway and cabin are on the left hand side of the road, note the right. I copied and pasted the directions below with the correction.

From Big Timber, Montana, travel 14 miles east on Interstate Highway 90 to exit 384 (Bridger Creek). From the stop sign, travel south for 8.2 miles to the junction of Main
Bridger with West Bridger Creek Road. Turn right and continue on West Bridger Road for 2.2 miles to the junction of West Bridger with Derby Gulch. Stay right on
West Bridger Road for 0.7 miles. Look for driveway ON THE LEFT with a gate about 50 yards down road. There is a small oak sign on the left of this road identifying the cabin.
The total driveway length to the cabin is approximately 0.2
miles.

You cancelled my stay at Bridger cabin because of the bridge issue. I called for a refund and got a voicemail that Julia would contact me about it and issue me a refund. I've been waiting since June 1st

This cabin was just the right size. We went in December but would love to see it in warmer weather also.

Great place, I've been there many times. New stove warms well, electric range for cooking and lights, so nice! The price hike to $85 per night was a shock, though, I think it's too high.

With the cabin having electric, it was well stocked for cooking. Even a Mr. Coffee. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it could use a thorough cleaning. But we look forward to our next stay.

It's an OK place but we got it when the rate was $25 per night. We do not feel this place is worth the new $75 night even with electricity and an electric stove/oven. I am really surprised to see it rented as much as it is. We think a fair price would be $45 a night in which it would get 4 stars.

A little scenery and just a couple of trails. If this is the closet Forest Service getaway or you have stayed here before and it means something to you by all means stay. For everybody else there are better other locations if you are visiting Montana, Idaho or Wyoming.

For the new rate of $75 a night a fridge should be supplied. Also the building is not being maintained. Needs painting.

For Verizon users there is no signal at the cabin but about 8 miles before you get there you do have a couple of bars at 4G.

Not very much cookware.

No oven mitt.

There is no water and there is a sink but they have covered it over with a board. It appears you used to be able to use it and it emptied to a bucket that had to be emptied by hand but now you can't even do that.

Dirty old toaster and dirty coffee maker. Bring your own stuff.

Has 4 twin beds.

Wood stove.

Old school pit toilet that is not ADA.

Good size porch.

Has fire pit and picnic table.

Locked gate for privacy.

Yes prices have gone up but if you are going to triple the price then the public should be seeing some result of the tripled price. We see no improvements to this location with the new tripled rate.

Glad we got to stay here to experience this location at $25 but we will not be staying again at $75 plus the $8 per reservation fee.

Beautiful location next to very small but lush & pretty West Bridger Creek. Rustic accommodations for those who don't mind roughing it . . . kind of like camping but with a roof and four walls, electricity, and an adjacent old-time outhouse. The cabin was very convenient for our day fishing trips to the Stillwater and Rosebud Creeks, as well as the small country towns of Absarokee, Big Timber, and Nye. We were hoping to have dinner at the famous Grizzly Restaurant in nearby Roscoe, but it is only open Thursday-Saturday. And we were hoping to spot an actual grizzly on our drives to and from the cabin, but instead saw tons of deer. Although the cabin was generally in good shape, it could use a little TLC from the Forest Service in terms of a good deep-cleaning and minor cosmetic repairs.
