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.

Love that it was off the road but easy to get to even with foot of snow on the ground. Did not like that it only had bunk beds and my husband and I had to sleep in different beds.

the cabin was awesome! it was the only time i ever saw my dog sad to leave a place because it was so quiet and peaceful there. the river is 100 yards away and i was able to catch a few trout while there. i suggest bringing a lantern or two since it is very dark in the cabin.

it was so beautiful and the road was well maintained. i went there my first week in Montana in 2010 and could not remember where it was. after i found it i dragged my wife and dog there and i showed them why this cabin made me fall in love with Montana.

The cabin is small, rustic, and cozy. The location is gorgeous. In winter there is plenty of firewood. The bunks have reasonably cushy mattresses on them.The listing is incorrect on two points: the cook stove is the wood stove and not a separate propane stove. It’s fun to cook on it. There is no propane lantern. So you will want to bring your own lights.

Very nice little cabin, a bit hot in full sun but nearby stream and tree cover provide alternatives. Great a for a getaway with your pup.
