About Stony Cabin

Stony Cabin is a small primitive cabin that was built in 1914 as a place for Forest Service employees to sleep while working in the area. The cabin is situated close to Stony Creek Road and across the street from Stony Creek Campground. It is not remote but ideal for those who want to stay in a cabin while friends camp across the street at the campground. It provides access to Rock Creek, a Blue Ribbon Trout Stream, and Stony Creek. The cabin is within close proximity to a variety of hiking and biking trails also. Guests can enjoy winter recreation on those same trails when there is snow in the area, typically from December until April of each year. The cabin is available all year, offering the opportunity to experience the backcountry of western Montana in all seasons. The cabin can be accessed by vehicle most of the year. There is limited parking in the driveway and trailers are not recommended. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring their own personal amenities.

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.

Stoney Cabin was exactly as portrayed in the Recreation.gov website. There were no surprises here. As such, the cabin and was great. Clean, and kept us out of the rain and cold weather. It was nice to have firewood provided for the cabin stove. We drove up Stoney Creek exploring and looking for sites to fly fish due to the high water run off in Rock Creek. While in route we collected fire wood for the camp fire.
Using the campground facilities: outhouse as well as the fresh water well pump worked out well. Also, the camp ground host was super friendly and informative about the local area. A great guy!

My little family of four absolutely adored this place and we will definitely be returning. The creek is close by. Probably the cleanest vault toilets I’ve seen. Plus the camp host across the street was friendly and helpful.

Cabin is located at the top of Rock Creek. Pros: Good location for driving to a fishing access. Cons: located literally next to a rock hill so its kinda limited on cabin style shenanigans in so much as there's no open space to really stretch your legs with the kids.
Overall, the cabin is a typical USFS cabin. I've stayed in a bunch and this is really no different than the others. It was a fun mid July experience, fishing was a plus. Fire roads up from the cabin a plus. Its quiet but its also located right across the road from a campground so it could be a gamble depending how much solitude you're looking for. Personally, I probably wont return to this one not for any reason against the USFS, location or things like that, just cause it really doesn't meet my what I've come to fancy as open fields and solitude for the simple reasons of the massive rock hill 20 feet off the cabin or campground across the road.

While the cabin is just off the side road across from the campground, it is in a beautiful setting. ( Walk to main road for Rock Creek access for fishing). Cute, well stocked, extremely clean, very thick, comfortable and new mattresses are on each bunk bed (for 4 people total). Cute table, hutch, 2 burner stove with gas containers, toilet paper, dish towels, amazing! We never used the wood stove so can't comment on that. Two windows, one screened to let in fresh night air. The outhouse to use is across the street in the campground. Be aware, cattle are just barely down the road so if you have a dog who likes to chase, be sure to bring leashes/long lines for outdoors. Picnic table also outside. Excellent overnight for motorcycle adventuring as well.
