About Upper Ford Cabin Rental

The Upper Ford Ranger Station is situated near the Yaak River at an elevation of 2,984 feet within the Rocky Mountains in Kootenai National Forest. This remote cabin was built in 1926 and was at the heart of the Upper Ford Ranger District until 1942, when it was combined with the Yaak Ranger District and became a remote work center. The cabin is open year-round and is accessible by car. Several amenities are provided, but guests will need to bring some of their own supplies and gear.

Recreation.gov cancelled our reservation due to COVID on April 16th per their email to me. Now on June 5th, I'm still fighting for a refund. Numerous emails all are answered confirming our reservation is intact, despite my just asking for the refund they said was forthcoming on April 16th. No one to call, no one else to email except the worthless "no" help desk.

We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the cabin. Previous visitors left smelly garbage in the can, spoiled food in the refrigerator, and dog poop all around the cabin. Our experience would have been much more enjoyable if the previous visitors followed the suggested rules and had consideration for others.

We have been renting this cabin once a year for about the last 12 years. It is now a family tradition, that our college age grand kids are making sure Grandpa rents it again next year, the campfire stories are something they will treasure and remember for the rest of their lives. Cabin is clean when we come and clean when we leaved. The honor system works very well.
