The cabin was great. Enjoyed two nights in Late March ‘21. Plastic covered mattresses are pretty rough, but hey, it’s part of the experience. The gas heater pilot light was not lit when we arrived. Heads up, the Igniter doesn’t work. Use a lighter. Place stayed plenty warm. We too enjoyed reading the Wurtz family story. Tough people. Inspiring to read. Thanks to the Forrest Service and volunteers. Let us know if we can donate some mattresses :).

Loved every minute will be back again we have been staying up in the north fork for years such a fun family tradition

Couldn't believe how well plowed the road was right up to the cabin's front door. Way to go, Flathead County! It took a while to get the big space heated up--we were there on a weekend of -20F lows--but it retained heat fairly well once we got it up to temp. Huge thanks to the FS for all their work stocking the woodshed. We ended up sleeping beside the stove for warmth. The gas lamps were a wonderful luxury, and allowed us to read the Wurtz family's story aloud to each other after nightfall. That story is like watching a Cohen brother's movie; riveting and terrifying. Went skinning on some trails and roads. Had a great time. The cabin is well stocked with supplies and goodies. Can't wait to return when it's warmer!
