Pole Creek Cabin is a clean, well-maintained retreat, appreciated for its beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodations, including cozy bunk beds and a stocked wood supply. Guests enjoy the rustic charm and peaceful environment, making it a great spot for quality time away from cell service. However, noise from nearby camping can be a drawback on weekends, suggesting off-season visits for more solitude.

So peaceful and secluded-we loved it! A little hard to find even with multiple direction preparations, but we made it. I would suggest setting a trip odometer from leaving Buffalo (or any other landmark) to make it easier not to miss the service road turn.
Cabin was clean, plenty of firewood, and lots to see around the site. We plan to go back one day!

Quiet and peaceful. No cell reception which is great. The road back into the cabin is pretty rough. A truck is recommended. I would love to see a few more cabin put up in the Bighorns. Maybe a some in the northern half as well as a few more on the southern end. I'm certain they would be booked just like Pole Creek and Muddy Guard are.

Gorgeous location. Cabin exactly as described. We didn't realize other people could camp very near cabin, so we did have an RV neighbor near us but no issues, just not as remote as we were thinking it would be. Also some trails cut through the cabin property grounds, though we only saw a couple of people on horseback once so not tons of traffic. Excellent place for a base camp, beautiful trails very close by.

Such a great place. Canned food, paper towels and fire starters left by last occupants even a little extra water. Mattresses for the beds required less stuff to bring /carry. Plenty of wood. We enjoyed the solitude and reading the scary stories written by previous guests. The 1/2 mi hike was a great adventure by starlight Basic cabin but pans and basics made it easier than expected.

Found the Pole Creek Cabin very comfortable. Wood supply was well stocked as was housewares in the kitchen. Our bonus was the appearance of the Aurora Borealis on Friday night. We will be back! Thank you.

Amazing cabin. Clean. Well appointed. Everything you’d want - except for the neighbors.
The Forest Service allows camping literally almost right up to the door of the cabin - so you’re subjected to music, generators, noise, 4-wheelers, and boozing.
Skip this on weekends or anytime you’re looking for solitude. Off season - it’s amazing!

This is a piece of heaven tucked away in the mountains! It offers just enough”luxury” yet still is rustic with no running water or electricity. It’s beautiful, peaceful, quiet. The wood burning stove on a chilly night is my favorite part. It’s close to Crazy Woman Canyon and other really fun places to explore. The cabin has a very well made and the bunk beds are comfortable.
