Kings Hill Cabin, perched on Kings Hill Pass, presents the opportunity to stay in a historic log cabin built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. The hideaway is very quiet, with minimal highway noise. Open year-round, the cabin provides access to a mix of summer and winter recreation activities: Summer recreation opportunities include hiking, OHV'ing, birding, sight seeing. Winter activities include snowmobiling, snowshoeing, downhill sking at Showdown Ski Area which is just across US HWY 89 and Silver Crest Cross Country Groomed groomed trail system, located approximatley 2 mi north of the cabin off US HWY 89
Access to cabin is on an easy-to-drive paved road. However, visitors should expect to hike 100 yards from a parking area to the cabin in winter months.

Kings Hill Cabin offers a cozy and comfortable stay in a beautiful setting, with easy access to hiking and snowmobile trails. Guests appreciated the electricity, full-sized fridge, and the lovely views from the front porch, especially during sunsets. However, some issues were noted, including cleanliness concerns, lack of internet, and maintenance needs, such as a smoky wood stove and a broken roof from a fallen branch.
It's a great base camp location to explore the Belts. The cabin has a decent refrigerator and the bedroom is a separate room.
The flies were apocalyptic in July but only (and oddly) outside from noon to 6 PM. The hordes graciously did not enter the cabin but be prepared to be kinda freaked out by the buzzing.
It's a nice little cabin and we enjoyed the proximity to O'Brien, Deadman, and the Showdown ski area. But there were a few problems with the cabin. But water was leaking onto one of the bunk beds. We moved the bed but one of the mattresses got wet. There is also a poop pyramid forming in the outhouse which is close to the top. It needs to be knocked over or cleaned out. The other concern is that a large ice wall is forming in the back. If it gets warm, I think water will flow into the cabin.

Cozy little cabin that serves its purpose perfectly. Electricity with working refrigerator and oven/stove is great. Wood stove provides heat but it will not hold the fire much beyond 2-hours so plan on putting more wood in a few times a night to maintain some heat.

The total distance form Great Falls is about 75 mi. During the summer season, visitors can drive directly to the cabin. During the winter season, there is parking on the wide spot along the highway, which is plowed.
From White Sulphur Springs, go about 3 mi east on Highway 12 and turn left (north) onto Highway 89. The cabin is just past Kings Hill Pass on the right. Total distance from White Sulphur Springs is 28.5 mi.
