Stayed there Sept 20-21 of 2021 and left a 5 star review. Since that time nothing at all has been improved. Where is all the money going? Nice view, fancy wood cook stove, nice floor & nice dining table with chairs so we are not all negative. Firewood was stocked unlike last time. Lady who answers the phone is very pleasant. Price is a mere $30 when most every USFS cabin is now being raised to $50+ at least in Montana. So we compliment where we can. However... You have to rent 2 nights if you rent on a Friday or Saturday. You still have to pick up the key & return & they give you a form to fill out inventory to list any issues. But guess what... They do NOTHING about those issues! No attempt to fix the road to help people access with cars. We had a SUV so fine. The fire extinguisher expired years ago! Reported last year. Smoke detectors still do not work. Reported last year. Squirrel still coming into walls and ceiling in evening & night. Reported last year. Still soot all over walls and ceiling. Is there no deep cleaning ever? This is a registered historic site but you do not maintain? Reported last year. Made the suggestion last year that they allow somebody to come in & fix these issues in exchange for a free stay. Probably not legal per government regulations but a solution was suggested. Last year we stayed on a Monday night & had no visitor issue. This year on a Fri/Sat stay we had a huge group of 12 show up and start flying drones. We also had dirt bikers ignore the sign & rode up & climbed the fenced off tower. It does not help that renters can't lock the gate to keep vehicles out & the signs says people are still allowed to come in but just do not drive in of the gate is closed. It is ignored. Sure go ahead & still stay there but maybe go during the week & bring a chain and lock. The $30 price is nice too. Our complaints are the issues should be fixed and the cabin cleaned.

Roads up were very poor, more Atv friendly than 4wd friendly. Made it fine in old pickup but makes for long drive. Beautiful scenery all the way. Cabin is perfect for what it is. Very rustic, stove works incredibly well and keeps you warm. Plenty of wood for chopping. Others have left extra supplies and cards and games which came in handy when it snowed.Early June is perfect for snow flurries, and too early for berries or mushrooms. Bring atvs and can explore for days and days. Only had 1 group come up to cabin otherwise very secluded. Didn't see any critters besides birds and squirrels. Mice are plentiful but we only heard at night and never sis see them. Keep stuff clean and not an issue. Fun adventure
