Beaver Creek Cabin (MT)

The ski in was very nice. We didn’t pass any snowmobiles and it was quiet back there. The cabin was clean, no evidence of mice. The cots and bunk were comfortable. There was plenty of wood in the shed. We stayed there in 0degree weather and we were warm in The cabin with the wood stove going all night.

Cabin was great. Although the scenery is too pretty. The snow was too deep. No fun at all.

We skied in from the highway but maybe could have driven a mile or so in. The only thing we really needed was more snow. Loved the wood stove and simplicity of this space.

I was unable to stay at Beaver Creek Cabin as planned because a culvert under the access road was damaged from recent heavy rains. The road was blocked with a sign prohibiting all access by wheeled vehicles, and I needed to be able to park my truck and unhitch my trailer right next to the cabin as is normally allowed. With no ability to park or even turn around close to the cabin, I had to abandon my plans and camp at nearby Beaver Creek Campground instead (which was very nice). The Forest Service kindly approved and processed my request for a full refund from Recreation.gov. I'm disappointed that I was not able to stay at the charming but very spartan Beaver Creek Cabin as planned, but I do appreciate the understanding and helpfulness of the staff at the Hebgen Lake District Office of the Custer Gallatin NF regarding my situation,

We had a beautiful cross country ski to the cabin 3/24/2023. Be aware of ice dams & keep your belongings away from the windows -wet due to snow melting as we got the cabin warm & cozy. 10/10 will be back.

My wife and I have visited the Beaver Creek Cabin eight times now and it's our favorite of all the backcountry cabins. The wood stove is HUGE and great for simmering food while staying warm inside. Distance from the parking lot in the winter is almost exactly 4.0 miles with 500' uphill on the way there and 100' uphill on the way back. We usually bring snowshoes but have done the trek on cross country skis as well. There are plenty of trails in the area for snowshoeing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing or backcountry skiing. I would recommend bringing fitted twin-size sheets with you to put over the spring mattresses.

Great cabin. Very cozy, and has the best wood stove in the world.

Just a couple miles of the madison the cabin is very nice with a nice fireplace outside

I had a wonderful time at Beaver Creek. The cabin was in great condition and had all the basics that you need for a few days in the wilderness. We saw tons of wildlife including a mother moose and her two calves as I was exiting the outhouse! Many trails to explore around the cabin too.

Great cabin and great weather. The wood supply was very low which could be a safety issue in another week. There was also a large slide of logs, dirt, and some snow that spread across the access road only about 200 yards north of the highway that occurred while we were in the cabin. So be cautious on that first 1/2 mile or so which has a steep slope to the east.
