Beaver Creek Cabin (MT)

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 mi 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.
