What a dream it was to stay here! Some updates to the listing: the road to the cabin is paved, mattresses and cleaning supplies are provided. AT&T had great service. We used the wood stove and the wood was easy to access and we'll stocked. The outhouse was clean and new.

Spent a week in June 2023. The new outhouse is top notch, as are the foundation repairs to the cabin and a new counter top. I brought along a temporary vinyl fence again to put along the west side so my border collies don’t wander on to the county road and have a disaster that would ruin the trip. It did its job. Basin Station is my favorite forest service cabin, because of all the open space to the east and north, and then you can cross the road and hike west up towards Lionhead, all which are forest service land. We did that often at dusk, making sure to yell ‘hey griz’ once in a while. That back barn is incredibly photogenic in the evening light, and I got some good shots of me and the dogs, which you will be able to see on journeywest dot com.

The road to the cabin was snowed in so we were not able to get to the cabin so we did not stay in the cabin Contacted Will Smith at Forest service in West Yellowstone and he was no help.

Cozy & clean cabin! Easy to access with XC ski's

Cozy & clean cabin! Easy to access with XC ski's

The cabin was clean and there was plenty of chopped wood for use. New mattress pads were comfy. I was surprised to find that the pots and pans were missing and the cupboards were bare- previous years there had been plenty of pots for boiling water and cooking utensils. Also lots of food left behind, which is a kind gesture but not ideal for keeping critters out. One of the neighbors plowed a single lane so we were actually able to drive until about 1/2 mile from the cabin and drop our stuff off for a shorter ski in. Got to explore further up the road to the campground and saw a fox and bald eagle by the water.
