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
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.

Smaller than most cabins you can rent from the USFS in the area, situated in a tight valley between a scree slope and a road, though lightly traveled road. This cabin is of course cheaper than most but better than a tent. It is also a benefit to be able to reserve something in the area as many of the campgrounds along Rock Creek and other nearby areas are first come first serve only. We used this as a guaranteed spot to stay between white water rafting trips so it served it's purpose. Clean cabin and works well for the price. Road in is gravel but in good condition from Phillipsburg. Vault toilet is shared with campground.

The cabin was perfect for our hunting trip and the kids loved. Plenty of firewood and the wood stove kept it very warm.

Quaint little cabin off the grid! Good access during winter months due to Rock creek road having lots of private homes along the corridor.
