Sweet cabin in beautiful setting. Users should know in advance though that the woodstove is very problematic. It has a very small box and a broken door seal. This means it takes hours, yes hours, to get a bank of coals. And even then you have to feed it constantly and it never gets the cabin super warm. Wish the Forest Service would get a different, more adequate, stove. If they did Id give a 5 star rating for sure.

Previous occupants did a fabulous job cleaning!! Stove takes a while to heat up-would recommend bringing newspapers, etc. Log bridge at first creek crossing is a bit dicey until it freezes. In spite of the fires, it had been pretty well bucked out. With many more wind blown/downfall trees, this may be a difficult ski this year.

Trail was in good condition. The beaver dams did create a new creek, but some logs on the trail, directly after the bridge, made crossing fun and easy. The evening sky was smoke filled from an Idaho fire, but it made for a pretty sunset. Cabin was in fine shape. We'll be going again.

This is an annual event for us and has been for over ten years. May Creek provides some much needed solitude and away time from phones, email and other correspondence. We love it and highly recommend it.

The cabin was perfect. Hike in was a bit rough and hard to follow the trail. Lots of down timber to crawl over and through. If you're good with map and compass it shouldn't be a problem.

Cabin was clean upon arrival. Dry firewood was available and the overnight stay was very enjoyable.

It was excellent. Lots of wood, access to water (once we broke through the ice) and very cozy.

Lovely hike in to the cabin. Great amenities there, some board games. Great meadow view. Would definitely recommend checking out the Big Hole Battlefield

Wisdom, MT, 59761
United States
From Wisdom, travel west on Highway 43 for about 16 miles to the May Creek Campground. Guests can park in the plowed parking area near the highway at the entrance to the campground during the winter. During the summer months, follow the campground road to the fence at the south end of the campground. Parking is available in the meadow just west of the campground.
From the campground, hike or ski south along the marked May Creek Trail, crossing a small bridge. About a quarter-mile past the bridge, the May Creek Trail intersects with the May Creek Ridge Trail; stay on the May Creek Trail and continue south for about two miles. The cabin is located on the edge of a large meadow, in the trees, on the east side of the creek. Large, blue diamond stakes mark the trail across the meadow to the cabin. Maps of the area may be purchased by calling the Wisdom Ranger District.
