Our stay at the cabin was so refreshing - we didn't see a soul the whole time we there. Heard/saw an occasional car go by. We were there in early June - it was VERY green and the birdlife was amazing. The trail from the cabin is not well marked. The ones further up the road were better marked, but very dry & dusty. The cabin itself is very well stocked - despite what some of the reviews said - we did NOT need to bring pots and pans. Plenty of games to entertain.

Great place, quiet and peaceful. Everything worked. Easy to reach from I90.

Great place, I've been there many times. New stove warms well, electric range for cooking and lights, so nice! The price hike to $85 per night was a shock, though, I think it's too high.

With the cabin having electric, it was well stocked for cooking. Even a Mr. Coffee. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it could use a thorough cleaning. But we look forward to our next stay.

Beautiful location next to very small but lush & pretty West Bridger Creek. Rustic accommodations for those who don't mind roughing it . . . kind of like camping but with a roof and four walls, electricity, and an adjacent old-time outhouse. The cabin was very convenient for our day fishing trips to the Stillwater and Rosebud Creeks, as well as the small country towns of Absarokee, Big Timber, and Nye. We were hoping to have dinner at the famous Grizzly Restaurant in nearby Roscoe, but it is only open Thursday-Saturday. And we were hoping to spot an actual grizzly on our drives to and from the cabin, but instead saw tons of deer. Although the cabin was generally in good shape, it could use a little TLC from the Forest Service in terms of a good deep-cleaning and minor cosmetic repairs.

Great two room cabin with propane full-size oven stove plus a wood stove we cooked on both no running water but there is a small creek that runs nearby was very private although the neighbors are not too far away son occasional car and airplanes other than that totally secluded

This cabin is afforded an electric range, clean and functional. The wood stove is undersized so you will have to keep it fed/burning through the night if possible to keep heat in the cabin. If possible, I would recommend the FS lowers the exhaust venting to reduce the capillary/stack effect which sucks more heat out, the more the wind blows which is often. Resizing to a larger wood burner that has a working damper and larger capacity would be the best fix. Wood shed was fully stocked and the stars were out in full glory. In case of emergency I could get 1-2 bars of service on Verizon by hiking .75-1 mile up the Derby Mountain TH. Roughly a few hundred yards past the stock tank and near a stand of trees I was able to get coverage...just saying. The road entrance to the cabin is abrupt (hard left) and the gate was not secured to the post (be careful not to smoosh hands/feet/fingers). Interior has a few tables, several sturdy chairs and 4 single bed frames w/mattresses that were surprising comfortable. Bring a table cloth, cooking equipment/utensils, good foods and you'll be set. All in all a great spot with the luxury of electricity and access roads that were well maintained. There was no snow at the time of our trip so I could see a few turns/climbs/drops that when icy would be challenging for the novice BC driver. We could hear some near by dogs so your not as remote as some cabins, but still back in da woods. RMS

We've stayed at this cabin several times over the years and always enjoy it. We saw evidence of some disrespect by previous guests who wrote in marker on the walls, which was disappointing.
