We rented the cabin for the long, holiday weekend and had a great time hiking and exploring!!! A previous guest had left packets of oatmeal and other foods in the cabinet that were not adequately secured and we were limited on water, so cleaning up the mess left behind by the locals was a little tricky. It was a bit of a hike to get all our gear in (we have a toddler) but otherwise a fantastic, quiet place to stay! Will definitely be back again soon!!

The cabin itself is great, but you need to plan to minimize the weight of your provisions because the hike in there can be a challenge, especially when it's hot out. So if you pack lightly and try to keep your meals to freeze dried foods everything will be great. The cabin is in a great location on a ridge above the river and there is a small stream running near the cabin that you can use to keep beverages cold and to use for water if you bring a good water filter system (or boil it). The only downside to the cabin is there are a LOT of mice in there, but that's to be expected in a remote cabin. All in all we had a great stay.

Had a great time at the cabin. Was well furnished with the basic necessities. Spent 2 nights, went for a hike along the river. We were on our way to Glacier National Park was a great stop over.

My family stayed one night here before embarking on a short backpacking excursion into the Bob in August 2020. It was ideal - we got to the cabin by late afternoon and enjoyed fishing the river below before dark. My husband caught some spectacularly large trout! The cabin is nestled in the woods, off the main trail, but accessible, about a 10-15 minute walk from the parking lot. Just a short walk down to the river and a fantastic view of the mountains along the way! We crossed the river and found our way further up the trail the next morning. It’s a typical FS cabin, well maintained and in a beautiful, isolated location. There is a small stream flowing near the cabin with a well worn trail going to it. I enjoyed this cabin so much, and hope to get back to it again. Note that this cabin requires a key, not a code. The Rangers made the process of key pickup and drop off super easy, though.
