Twin Lakes Cabin (MT)

One of the best places to stay as i have stayed here before several times.
We bring a canoe, easy to the water and 2 lakes to canoe around in. No motor boats for noise is nice.

The good:
Easy drive in good weather.

One room cabin with bunk beds with ladder & a cot that can be pulled out.

Wood stove.

Propane light but you need to supply propane.

Dining table with 2 backed wood chairs & one backed metal chair. A TV tray was also there.

It has a skylight which was a first for us at a cabin.

Recent maintenance work has been done on porch.

Windows on sides are very low in height but have nice curtains.

Lots of wood with fire pit.

Somebody has supplied two wood log seats at fire pit with backs and curved cut outs for your butt. One had a foot stool attached and the other a beverage holder. What fun!

Nice size porch.

Metal picnic bench.

AMAZING view of the lakes & mountains and you are right there! Perhaps the best out of 30 cabins we have rented.

Bring your canoe, kayak of inflatable to go on the lake.

As usual the Wisdom Ranger District has supplied emergency supplies and tools to use unlike other ranger districts.

The bad:
The cabin is in a campground & right between camping spots. We got lucky & nobody else was there except a couple of guys at the far end of the campground who we could not see or hear. Do not expect a quiet private cabin all the time. Many complaints about noise & smoke from the other campers, generators & such during the summer.

The metal water hand pump had already been closed for winter.

For some this is great but for emergencies or if you kind of work all the time there is limited cell service. About 7 mi before you get to the campground was the last 4 LTE service we had with Verizon. If you have a boat or if the lake is frozen you can get a couple of bars of 3G service on the big lake. If you take the trail behind the ranger cabin you can get it also at the far end at the edge of the large lake too.

Sadly the price is being raised from $25 to $55 for 2023 so this is one of the last few affordable cheap getaways. BOOK NOW!

Would have loved to make it there. Snow last 2 mi is deep and hollow. Was really close but turned around for the well being of my kids and wife.

Such a great cabin!! We did have to snowmobile in the full 12’ish miles but easy to find. There is one bunk and 2 cots. The mattress on the bunks is quite hard so a sleep pad is a good idea! There was a propane lantern that we didn’t use but someone had left behind a battery lantern that was awesome!! It takes double D batteries! The fireplace is small and the logs in the wood shed are quite long. We had to pick through the pile for the shorter pieces. We would definitely go back!!!

Cabin was clean and well stocked, we go there every winter and it never disappoints.

Weather was rainy but family had fun anyway. The cabin was well stocked and great for drying out wet clothes and kids,

I loved the stay! Cabin was great! Hope to do it again next year! The lakes are beautiful!!! Your web site won’t let me pick excellent with the stars. But the stay was excellent🤗

Had a great night . Cabin was warm and clean!
Plenty of kindling and firewood, thanks!

This place is one of the most beautiful places on earth.What happened to be there when the campsite was completely empty and had the whole place to ourselves beautiful fishing not so good

First your website is wrong re the name of the surrounding peak. Squaw Peak was renamed Hirschey Peak in 2008. There are many things to love about this place. The setting and views are gorgeous. Since we last visited in 2017, a new outhouse has been built closer to the cabin. At our visit this year the ax was missing, the battery powered lamps were dead, the big cupboard that used to contain dishes and pots and pans was impossible to open. There was no sauce pan. The bin containing eating utensils had no lid and was covered with a plastic garbage sack! Unsanitary! The pads on the 2 beds were satisfactory but people should bring extra padding for more comfort, especially for the cots which have no padding. The last 6 mi of the road is extremely rocky, which takes your attention away from the occasional glimpses of wildlife. Finally, the weather can be unpredictable so bring appropriate clothing.
