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.

Just gorgeous, as always. A little dirty inside - last people’s failure to clean, maybe. Many cows.

What a perfect spot to get away in a nice and clean one-room cabin. There is a peaceful mountain stream next to the cabin, and great for kids to explore and play. The outdoor fire pit is ready for a cozy fire with four bench seats. The pit toilet is convenient and not too close but not too far away. There were cows in the area but fenced off from the cabin. If you use GPS to take you to the cabin, I highly recommend you take the southern approach. The northern approach takes you through numerous cattle grates, farm gates, and barbed wire gates and requires a high-clearance vehicle.

I love this cabin and will definitely be back.

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

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.)

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.
