What Guests Are Saying
Stony Cabin is a charming and well-maintained retreat, praised for its cleanliness, cozy atmosphere, and thoughtful amenities. Guests appreciate its ideal location for fishing on Upper Rock Creek and find the campground host, Mike, to be helpful and knowledgeable. However, accessing the cabin from I-90 can be challenging due to a long, potholed road, especially in winter conditions.

Stony Cabin is in a neat area, close to Philipsburg and across a dirt road is Stony Creek and the campground. The cabin is right on a dirt road and I can't imagine that being super fun in the summer with more road traffic...dust and not a lot of privacy. The campground across the dirt road is probably a better bet unless you want a cute little cabin to hang out in. The wood stove is awesome and heats that little cabin beautifully. The cabin sits at the base of a shale slope which is quite beautiful. The better view is from the campground though.
I'm disappointed in people leaving a mess behind for others at these cabins. When we arrived it was painfully obvious the last people hadn't bothered to sweep the cabin or wipe down the table. The bowls and pans were all...gross. I would not plan on using them. There were bits of bacon and bacon grease all over the propane stove that's supplied. There were Clorox wipes right there and left... unused. It's just not the best way to begin your fun cabin stay to be cleaning up after someone else. When someone else leaves a mess it becomes your responsibility, so please just do the work to leave it nice for the next person. If we all left these places just a little nicer than we found them this system would really work well.

This was a great pick for our first FS rental experience. The cabin is in a great location if you’re looking to disconnect without having to be “off the grid”. Campground directly across the road provides a quick walk for the restroom. The road was a little busy for about 10 min on Saturday but other than that very quiet. The cabin is well stocked with firewood, a lantern and batteries, a few cooking supplies and cleaning supplies. Everything was tidy on our arrival. Very enjoyable stay, we will be back!

Cute cabin up Rock Creek. I definitely agree with the other reviews that this is not the cabin to book if you want a private, remote experience. It is right on the road across from a campground and near private residences. We were there in the winter and no one was camping, so it was pretty quiet.
Classic FS cabin with basic amenities.

This has always been my favorite USFS cabin to enjoy a peaceful stay in the winter. The access is easy, the cabin is cozy, and the surroundings offer stunning views, especially in winter. Users have left the cabin clean and preserved over the years, which is not something that can be said for all places on the map. Always a good supply of firewood, and the best wood stove set up of ALL the cabins I have been to (kept me very comfortable on a -15 degree night this year).

Would appreciate it if people would clean up their dog poop.........perhaps a sign reminder and some plastic bags there would help. This same problem occurred last year when I stayed at the cabin.
Appreciate the good quality firewood provided.
Would be great to have a bathroom near the cabin instead of across the road.
