Cabin was awesome, clean stocked with wood, a new cook stove, easy to find, will definitely be going back again.

Third year camping here and it just got better. The addition of the solar lights and the ability to charge things off the solar was amazing. Thank USFS for taking such good care of this cabin!!

Well cared for cabin on a gorgeous prairie. Lots of wildlife to see! Made it almost exactly 0.5 miles from the cabin; the road became impassable due to snow drifts, but the walk up wasn’t bad at all. Definitely want to revisit!

The staff on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest do a great job of keeping this resource in good shape for visitors (not an easy task I'm sure given the historic nature of the building). This was our 7th trip (one year we had to go to Bloody Dick Cabin) and each year we find new local places to explore. New to experience this year was right at the cabin, and that was a healthy population of Pygmy Rabbits - a unique and endemic population to SW Montana. Coming late in July as we do, each year it seems we are closer to or in the middle of fire season. Air quality was fine, but we did have smoke from the Moose Fire across the divide. We are always mindful of if and when to have a fire in the firepit out front.
