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.

BOOK NOW! Price going from $20 to $45 per night plus $8 fee next year.

The Pintler Ranger District is SUPER! They have supplied kitchen items to both Moose Lake & Douglas Creek cabins and have made improvements. Whoever is in charge is AWESOME!

Easy drive weather permitted in a car.

4G Verizon service about 6.6 miles from the cabin.

The campground that caused issues in the past nearby the cabin has been closed for 2+ years. Now there is a locked gate stating renters only!

Metal hand pump for water.

Wood cook stove with oven. Wood only goes in top left!

Two bunk beds but no ladders to climb if physically challenged. Perhaps use a chair for upper bunks.

A few games.

Dining table with 3 backed chairs.

Fire pit with picnic table.

Lots of wood.

Nice deep creek nearby. Found a bathtub there if you want a bath!

It seems most people that rent here truly take care of the cabin and many are older.

Nice ADA vault pit toilet but boy it is a good ways away from the cabin at night.

No sink sadly.

Bring fly traps during the summer.

We cleaned the windows but there was insect stuff or some sap like residue all over the exterior windows. If somebody would be so kind to bring a razor blade scraper and clean this off it would be great!

A very enjoyable stay. Don't delay in reserving your stay at a mere $20 before it more than doubles next year.

Beautiful, well-built old cabin, nice stove, lovely location. No cell service for us (that's a good thing!). Needs a new logbook and an axe handle repair, so you may want to bring your own axe for splitting wood.

My husband and I stayed at Moose Lake cabin the weekend after Christmas to celebrate our first holiday season as a married couple. We played cards by lantern light and played outside with our pup. Very clean and well-kept place!
