About Morgan-case Homestead

Morgan-Case Homestead is a rustic log cabin situated on approximately 320 acres along Rock Creek. The cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance relating to early homesteading and ranching in Granite County and western Montana. It was an active work site from 1890 to 1951. In addition to being a great home base for big game hunters, the cabin provides access to a variety of recreational opportunities, including blue-ribbon trout fishing and trails that are open to hiking and horseback riding, as well as cross country skiing and snowshoeing.

The removal of the driveway gate was a significant impediment to our enjoyment. Without it, people regularly pulled into the homestead grounds to park and use the outhouse. The steady stream of strangers really detracted from the privacy and relaxation we had enjoyed on previous stays. We would not stay again unless the gate is restored.

Amazing little homestead. Instructions for getting in and how to start the fireplace were right on. We brought our own firewood bc we were told there was a fireplace and an outdoor fire pit, but did not need to. The Forest Service supplied plenty of wood for the indoor fireplace and outdoor pit. Be aware that you need to bring your own water (there is a well pump out front but the sign says it is not potable), we did use it to wash dinnerware and hands. You also need to bring your own bedding for 2 Queen beds and 1 twin. There is a no shower and the toilet is outside in the shed. The Rock Creek water was to high but we fished off the edges and did very well. The story of The Morgan Case Homestead is truly wonderful. We will def be back
Thank You Forest Service and Rangers
