Not it great shape and lots of mouse droppings and dog poop around the fire pit. Such a cool location though.

I live in Montana. Winter weather is unpredictable. When I rented this cabin I was taking a chance on the weather. It turned out that the temperature and wind chill were well below zero that night I had planned to stay. I am 73 years old and have stayed in 27 USFS cabins since 1963 but at my age, I did not feel comfotable skiing in alone so I didn't go. The cabins are rented through an agency in Washington DC. I doubt that ANYONE in this outfit has EVER esperienced deadly cold. BUT there is no provision for reembersement inside of 24 hours before the rental date. ONCE, a local USFS ranger quietly allowed me to pick a better date, notify him, and use my credit at a later date. I would like just one of you desk jockeys to come to Montana and see what a wind chill of -20, -30, -40 or -80 is like and MAYBE THEN you would become more sympathetic for what it is like here and offer rainchecks - IF you live through the experience!
