About Moose Lake Cabin

Moose Lake Cabin is located in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in southwestern Montana. The historic cabin, which was built in 1917 for use as a Forest Service work station, offers visitors close access to the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness Area, which covers almost 250 square miles of mountain ranges. The cabin is a short drive to Georgetown Lake, Discovery Ski Area, Gem Mountain, and the town of Philipsburg with its well known Sweet Palace and microbrewery. Many lakes and streams provide ample access to world famous trout fishing and the area also boasts miles of roads and trails. The cabin is located a short walk from Middle Fork Rock Cr and is surrounded by public land in all directions. Hiking, backpacking, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, OHV riding, skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing are common activites,  The cabin can typically be accessed by vehicle, depending on road and weather conditions. Moose Lake Road is plowed during winter, but the access spur to the cabin is not regularly plowed and guests should plan on walking this final 100 yards in the winter months.

What Guests Are Saying

The Moose Lake Cabin is a clean, well-stocked retreat with beautiful views and great access to fishing and recreational activities. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, woodstove, and peaceful atmosphere, often enjoying wildlife sounds like elk bugling. While some mention issues with water quality and cabin walls, these are outweighed by the overall positive experiences and the cabin's rustic charm.

Nice place with good fishing. Walls to cabin are almost see-through: with a rain and wind combo one night the wall was "weeping" with water running down it. At least there were screens on the windows and door! Only a few mice. Lubed up the water pump so it worked well, but water is full of iron. Comfortable beds.

What a wonderful, clean, and peaceful retreat the Moose Lake cabin provided during my stay. Everything was very nice upon my arrival, and I appreciate the care taken by those who visited before me. The woodstove was great, and the cabin was well stocked with all the essentials. It was very quiet and offered fantastic views, especially of the night sky. Despite the cold temperatures, the well pump worked well, although I agree with another reviewer and recommend bringing your own water or a way to filter it. There was a lot of sediment in the water. I really enjoyed my stay in this quaint cabin and appreciate the Forest Service for making it available year-round.

I've stayed at this cabin a number of times over the years and it's always a favorite. It's small and very rustic. But if an old fashion line shack is what you are looking for, this fits the bill.
