Nice cabin. It is old . It needs some repairs as expected. But has a great wood stove. The handrail coming in the front door is completely detoriated . Don’t lean on it. Great evening there . I was only there 1 night when it was 40 and windy

Very comfortable cabin, beautiful spot, and we had an awesome time. A group of 3 mule deer came down to investigate on our second evening there and we were joined by a very active yellow warbler in the mornings. This was our third trip to West Bridger Cabin and it has never disappointed.

Our stay at the cabin was so refreshing - we didn't see a soul the whole time we there. Heard/saw an occasional car go by. We were there in early June - it was VERY green and the birdlife was amazing. The trail from the cabin is not well marked.
The ones further up the road were better marked, but very dry & dusty. The cabin itself is very well stocked - despite what some of the reviews said - we did NOT need to bring pots and pans. Plenty of games to entertain.

Loved the location, views, and trail! Wish surfaces in the cabin were more cleanable. Loved the fridge, oven, and couple lamps to make it more comfy in there. Appreciated the games people have previously left in the cabin.

They added a fridge this year! You must bring your own water.
