This was our second time at the Moose Lake Cabin. We fully intend to come back as often as possible, and in other seasons. The cabin is well-stocked, the previous renters left it and the surrounding yard, parking area, and vault toilet clean. And we didn't hear or see any signs of mouse activity! You can't beat such a cute, historic cabin so close to great fishing and the recreational opportunities of Moose Lake and the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness. Thank you to the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest for gating the short spur road to the cabin from the main Moose Lake Road. We've stayed in other cabins (*cough* Strawberry Butte near Helena *cough*) where access was wide open and our privacy and security was in doubt at all hours. The Moose Lake Cabin is one of the best accessible USFS rentals in Montana.

Be a good renter and love this cabin. Please do not corral your horses in the cabin yard. There is a huge horse corral next to the cabin for that. Seeing the yard all torn up and poo everywhere was pretty upsetting. Also, please only chop wood by the wood shed. There is no reason to get wood chips all over the place. We last stayed 9/24/21 (See review) for just one night and not much has changed. We feel lucky we got to enjoy the last few $20 reservation nights for a 4 night stay. No mice during our stay. To Jason W who was not happy about batteries and propane, always bring your own stuff. These items are not guaranteed or promised to be there. The USFS does not even promise wood will be there. Just trying to help you and others. If you want wood for the fire pit if you bring a chainsaw there is plenty of downed trees between the toilet and the creek. Thanks to the various people who left facial tissue, the fairy lights (We love them too!) and made the ax super sharp! Wood was well stocked but we even added more. We also left some D batteries and a fresh new propane canister. We try to be givers and not just takers. We looked for the bathtub but sadly it was missing. We thought it would be great to get a photo with snow in it. If somebody has a decent broom please being to leave in the toilet to keep it swept too.
