My second time here, hoping for a third some day! Remember to bring plenty of water and firewood. An amazing place with an incredible story.

Caught one mouse on second night. No signs/sounds of bear visiting. Beaver seen in pond across road toward evening. Pit toilet clean and stocked. Cabin a nice place to make memories and spend time. Canadian border to Wurtz landing a perfect day of floating. Wurtz to Ford a nice evening float. Ford to Polebridge another nice day’s float topped off by dinner at Northern Lights Saloon. No concerns about our stay. Locale great for river access. Field in front of cabin allows for evening soccer or baseball. Just be aware of ground squirrel holes.

This cabin was is a beautiful location but was completely mice infested! We ended up leaving in the middle of the night because of how many mice we encountered. I did reach out to the forest service about our experience and hope the conditions are better for everyone in the future.

Great get away in a convenient location on the north fork. Fully furnished kitchen for cooking meal for latge groups. Lots of room for a bunch of people. The kids loved running around and the campfire.

Beautiful!! The beds are actual mattresses, full and twin both, which is unusual for these. We had several groups of bicyclers from Europe stopping to camp here. One group just walked right into the cabin without knocking while my daughter was there! I asked the next one that stopped to camp for the night where they were getting the information (American Cycling Association I believe) that said they could camp at any of these cabins. Keep it locked up when not there!

This is the 2nd time I have stayed at the Wurtz Cabin. We have enjoyed it both times. It is a great location and the size of the rooms makes it perfect for a group. As always, the Forest Service Cabins are a great value.

Bring your hiking shoes to explore the river bottom

We enjoyed a few days at Wurtz in late March. The road was a bit rough but we're used to dirt roads and potholes characteristic of spring in MT. The cabin has 3 bedrooms (1 downstairs + 2 upstairs) as well as a large loft space, and the beds are on casters so it's easy to arrange them between the upstairs rooms as needed for your group. Pro tip - bring a sheet or blanket to put over the mattress and under your sleeping bag, and disinfecting wipes to clean surfaces. The gas cooking stove made cooking a breeze and the kitchen was well stocked and clean. I made the mistake of saying that it appeared this cabin didn't have a mouse issue and then promptly saw one scurry across the living room. We couldn't find a mouse trap (which is unusual for FS cabins) so you might want to bring some. Unlike most FS cabins we've been to, this one didn't have many games so bring your own if family game time is your thing. Overall, it was a fun visit and we hope to come back in the summer sometime when the Polebridge Mercantile is open and we can take advantage of more hiking and swimming opportunities.
