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.

A great time!

We so loved the remoteness of this cabin. Reading about the history gave me chills. What hardy people. Tough. The cabin has received much TLC over the century plus of its life to date. It is a superb structure. It is well supplied. Go across the road and follow the road to the river and explore. Lovely country. The woods is very dense but we explored various roads and found places to hike. Will return.

Very nice.

Very nice.

A very cool old cabin and it was actually available when i was biking through! It kept me dry during a rainy August night - much appreciated!
