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.

Summary

AI generated

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.

My Plein Air art group took 2 nights and 3 days there and we left deeply inspired and with some really great artwork, endless rock formations framed by beautiful creeks, aspens, pine, and cottonwood.

Cabin was easy to find and is in a great location for access to the creek or nearby trails.

Gone a bit downhill compared to past years. No equipment to split wood, overrun by mice.

This has been a regular event for me over the past 6 years -- a night of solitude at Stony Cabin. Woodstove is one of the best I have used in any cabin, easy to operate and keeps you comfortable no matter what is going on outside. Always a clean cabin to enter into -- hopefully this continues as more use is occurring. Recommend the venue to anyone -- trails in area to explore any time of the year, nice drive along a scenic Rock Creek, wildlife viewing opportunities. I use this retreat to have a day of cross country skiing or ice fishing in the Georgetown Lake area, as it is very convenient and simple accommodations. Enjoy!
