What Guests Are Saying

Hogback Homestead is praised as a wonderful lodging experience, with guests appreciating its cleanliness, beautiful scenery, and recent upgrades like electric lighting. The location is conveniently close to Rock Creek and Philipsburg, enhancing the overall enjoyment. However, there are concerns about the solar panel lighting's effectiveness, a desire for on-site water, and caution advised regarding ticks from a nearby tree.

Cabin was very comfortable, and the outdoor shower area behind the woodshed building was a great bonus. Having the propane lights and stove/oven was also a great bonus. We encountered no mice, which was a relief from stays at some other cabins that were overrun with them. Having access to Rock Creek just a short walk away as well as hiking was the icing on the cake.

Second visit. Great cabin with rustic but good facilities. Not for those who want a pampered stay, but great for those who are okay going without a hot shower for a few days and who don't need to be connected to the interweb.

Great visit! Nice to leave the windows open and hear Hogback Creek all day and night (only left the upstairs windows open at night). The splitting maul was pretty sharp, made it very easy to split wood (at some other cabins the maul was so dull it bounced off!). Very comfortable cabin, great area to fish, hike, and hang out.

I had not been here in 10 years. It was just as I remembered it. A real treasure. The place was clean and well maintained. The ranger was helpful with information about the road access.

Quite comfortable and plenty of wood for the stove. Probably would bring sheets/blankets instead of a sleeping bag if I come again.

Per the Missoula USFS in Missoula they advised not to travel the Rockcreek road due to snow.

Love this place! So wonderful for a quiet retreat from the Missoula area. Just bring lots of water and some blankets. The kitchen is well stocked with pots/plates cups. Inside slippers are nice to have too. The road is quite bumpy if you do the 29 mi south on rock creek. We do it in our Toyota Matrix. Coming from Phillipsburg is much smoother but takes 25-35 minutes longer.
