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.

Cabin was very clean with previous reports of mice fully resolved. Great spot with the creek running next to the cabin and wonderful hiking and skiing from the door. Plan to bring your own TP.

We rented this cabin a year ago and loved the location and the cabin. There was a sign saying they were having a nice infestation but they were working on it. There were some mousetraps there but we didn’t catch any. A year later we came back and the bottom cupboards were littered with mouse droppings. We arrived late about 6:00 pm I went to check the woodshed and saw a mouse inside. I set a trap in the shed 2 in the bottom cupboard and 1 outside where there was a hole that looked like a good place for mice. We caught 12 mice before 9:30 when we turned in. There were 4 more in the traps the next morning. We were going to stay 3 nights but we left early the first morning. The mice infestation completely ruined our trip. Once again it is a beautiful location close to Phillipsburg but I just can’t deal with that many mice. I won’t rent this cabin again.

This cabin is located in a beautiful area that feels pretty remote without taking you too far away from civilization, perfect for those who don't have an ample amount of vacation time. The creek running next to the cabin is the PERFECT ambient noise and great source for utility water. Hiking in the area is relatively easy to find with both road and trail to use, just pick a path and you'll be set. My only complaint, which is also why I am giving this less than five stars, is the mouse infestation. The smell of mice was pretty pungent and droppings were found everywhere, it was pretty difficult to sleep through the night as it affected our breathing. There was a note from the Forrest Service informing campers of a proposed demolition of the cabinets "in the near future" which were basically unusable due to the nests. Not sure how long that note had been there, but hopefully this has been done, I would suggest packing a tent for backup in case it hasn't and the problem has worsened.
