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.

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

Very nice as always! Previous guests didn’t clean up too well.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The addition of solar-powered lights was a nice upgrade, at least when there's enough sun to power the battery. This was my third stay, and I'll keep coming back.

Appreciate the work by USFS staff in maintaining the homestead in these times. Always nice to see that users leave the homestead as good or better than when they arrive.
