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.

We absolutely loved this cabin! The stove is definitely the star of the show. Very clean and thoughtfully stocked. We heard Elk bugling. Really enjoyed reading the log entries from all of the visitors. We hope to be back again!

This was our second time at the Moose Lake Cabin. We fully intend to come back as often as possible, and in other seasons. The cabin is well-stocked, the previous renters left it and the surrounding yard, parking area, and vault toilet clean. And we didn't hear or see any signs of mouse activity! You can't beat such a cute, historic cabin so close to great fishing and the recreational opportunities of Moose Lake and the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness. Thank you to the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest for gating the short spur road to the cabin from the main Moose Lake Road. We've stayed in other cabins (*cough* Strawberry Butte near Helena *cough*) where access was wide open and our privacy and security was in doubt at all hours. The Moose Lake Cabin is one of the best accessible USFS rentals in Montana.
