We had a really good time at Black butte cabin me and my dad have passed it many of times and have always wanted to stay so we made the decision to camp there this year we had a great time and seeing a lot of wildlife.

Constant traffic screaming by. It is like living beside an interstate highway.

Beautiful setting for a cabin! Sits high above an open meadow with stream and has views of mountains and buttes in the distance. We did some hiking at the Wolverine basin and hiked up toward Freezeout mountain - quite lovely, but you'll have to use a map and navigational skills as the trail to Freezeout is not well marked and is not visible in the grass. The cabin is also near access to the Black Butte which can be climbed (we'll have to do it next time). The cabin itself is large enough inside for 4 people to sleep and eat comfortably. Here are a couple of caveats: 1. There is no food prep/cooking table - only the dining table. It would be worth your while to bring along a camping table. 2. The 2-burner portable camp stove looked like it had been dropped and was completely covered with grease. It worked - boiled our water - and we got a lot of the grease off, but you might be better off bringing your own. There was some traffic the weekend we went, but it wasn't terribly distracting. The outhouse across the street was used occasionally by nearby camping parties and also served as a turn-around point for trucks and ATVs. The road there was quite rutted and rocky in spots, particularly the last 5 miles or so. Should be able to get a passenger vehicle through, but take it slow.

Beautiful but traffic screaming by all day. Very noisy.
