Canyon Creek Cabin is located in the middle of an old mining district. Historic sites that can be explored on foot or on a bike are nearby. A variety of trails exist in the area, as does abundant wildlife. The cabin is a quaint location for guests to enjoy the scenic Pioneer Mountains in southwestern Montana.
The cabin is accessible by a four-wheel drive or high clearance vehicle, depending on conditions. Snowmobiles, skis or snowshoes may be necessary during the months between December and April each year. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Canyon Creek Cabin offers a cozy and well-maintained retreat, ideal for two people, with comfortable beds and a great fireplace for warmth. Guests appreciate the abundance of firewood and the beautiful surroundings, perfect for photography and fishing. However, some noted the rough access roads, the need for improved fencing, and reminders to bring supplies like propane and toilet paper.
Cabin is just the size for 2 people-- had a good time again, and this time there were not cows wandering on the premises (though the fence and "gate" does not look cow-proof any more than last year....).
Kind of tired of taking people's junk out for them: empty propane canisters, cans of food, etc.
Bed's very comfortable, and love the area, and the 1-wt fishing.
Road was a real ***** this year-- very rough.
Cute cabin with all of the necessities. Plenty of wood to chop, clean and well-kept, stocked with many supplies. Don't forget to bring your own fuel (propane). I think it used to have a propane lantern, but I didn't see one this time.

Great little cabin and "quiet" location, with fun fishing (1-wt fly fishing).
Roads are very rough coming in, especially from the north.
Fence needs work: cattle on cabin property that we had to deal with.
Great fireplace/ grill.
Did not see any mice.

Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
