Beaver Creek Cabin (MT)

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 mi or so which has a steep slope to the east.

We came to Beaver Cr cabin for 2 night end of dec, 2021. Luckily, the ski trail in was nicely established by former cabin renters. Pulling all sorts of creature comforts in our sled, it took us 1.5 hrs to ski in the 3.5 mi. A gradual up, sometimes flat, grade. It was -8 degrees the 1st morning. We did stay warm, but had to stoke the fire every 3-4 hours at night. The 2nd night i took a cot from the loft and put it close to the fire, so i could get decent sleep. The cabin just had 1 cooking pot and 1 broken coffee kettle and some plastic utensils. Not that we expected the forest service to provide us with a fully stocked cabin, but one reviewer said it was well stocked with necessities and it definitely wasn't. The door has a LOT of draft, and we went thru wood like crazy. There was great skiing beyond the cabin, up a trail called Red Cub Trailhead. This cabin, though in a beautiful setting, is a little beat up in the interior. It's not terrible, just not as lovingly cared for as other cabins we've rented. Having said all this, we had lots of fun, the snow was beautiful, and we'd recommend it to others.

The cabin is really cozy and there was plenty of firewood. The mattresses on the two bunks were very thick and comfy, and having two camp cots up in the loft was a help. The top of the stove can handle one pot or pan easily, but there is only a stock pot and a coffee pot, so bring any other pans and utensils you need.

This time of year, it’s a ski in, and it took us about 3 hours breaking trail in a foot of powder and pulling a heavy sled. But the road from the highway is gentle and not terribly steep. Of course it’s a much shorter snowmobile ride if that’s your thing.

Highly recommend if you want an out of the way spot.

It was very well maintained
