About Douglas Creek Cabin

Douglas Creek Cabin offers a great way to access the various seasonal activities available in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in western Montana. While hunting enthusiasts enjoy the cabin during bow and rifle seasons, it is popular for snowmobiling or cross-country skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. The cabin is in a very remote location, giving anyone an outdoor recreational experience they will never forget. Access to the cabin is limited by weather conditions. Four-wheel drive is necessary in the winter. Excessive snowfall and wind can prohibit any vehicle from accessing the cabin and visitors will need to plan for cross-country skiing or snowmobiling three or more miles. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring their own amenities.

The Douglass Creek Cabin remains a wonderful, quaint retreat, and my third stay there was as charming and quiet as ever. The proximity of the fire ring to the creek is a feature I particularly enjoy, and the deep snow during my mid-March visit made the experience even more special. While the cabin is clean and well-stocked, the bunk beds are a bit too springy for my liking because they lack the support boards found in most other cabins. I highly recommend this lovely retreat to anyone seeking a peaceful and scenic getaway.

We drove in ~3 mi before we were worried about getting stuck in our SUV and hiked the rest of the way in. Snowshoes would have been nice for the last mile and to explore above the cabin, but not absolutely necessary. We did see 1 truck that made it all the way to the Y junction. The cabin was very clean and well stocked! The stove kept the cabin very warm and there was plenty of firewood! We loved our night in this cabin.

Was in for one night in January and it was wonderful! Lots of opportunities to ski around and see good mountains. Cabin was fully stocked with firewood and stove and a fantastic eagle mug - all you can ask for really. Would absolutely stay here again.

This is one of the better maintained cabins I’ve been to! There is one battery powered light but it was nice to have an extra lantern to light the space better. The road was drivable in December- I was able to drive my AWD vehicle with snow tires all the way up. The hill above the cabin would have been fun skiing (cross country) with about 2 feet of snow minimum- as it was we had a lovely afternoon skiing up the road instead.

So great for winter! The road is easily drivable as long as you have good snow tires and the snow isnt waist deep- pretty flat topographically. The bunk beds are actually quite comfortable and the outhouse is clean. Well stocked kitchen wares. The little creek running next to it is beautiful. Life long Montanan and thankful for gems like these. Wish the price hadn’t doubled on all forest service cabins recently because it’s harder for locals to afford but at least it seemed well maintained (and compared to air b&b’s theres a clear winner as long as you don’t mind roughing it a little bit.)

We had a great time! A little gem of a cabin in a very pretty secluded area, off the beaten path.
