Cabin is easy to get to and is daily near the town of Lincoln. Very interesting cabin. Lots of logging going on in the general area so noisy during the day. Cabin is very very rustic.

Very comfortable bed! Like the separate kitchen area. The well water has a lot of "discoloration" (maybe iron?). Love the firepit and small stream. Was great family vacation time.

Clean and as expected. I loved the cabin. If you camp, this is like camping with a whole lot of security and a nice kitchen area. Stove was great even in July. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants some time alone.

Well stocked, maintained and clean cabin. Entry door threshold plate is loose so you have to force the door open. Water from the hand pump was slightly colored, recommend you bring your own water when staying. The cabin had a new splitting maul that worked out well. Only saw one mouse during our time there.

Nice place, and large-ish cabin with good sized and comfortable beds. The pump is junk: we had to get water from the park in Lincoln. Was nice to have plenty of screened windows for air flow, though heat from the stove in the kitchen area tends to move right into the rest of the cabin. People at the private cabin only 200 yards away were shooting right by it, making us fairly nervous, especially since when I then drove by there to see what was going on there were alcoholic beverages being consumed while shooting.

Very nice locations. Someone used the plastic bucket for coals and melted it. Then they threw it in the bushes. So no mopping of the floor. We didn't use the lights or stove (oven was especially dirty inside). We didn't see any mice but there were some droppings. We would definitely stay again.

Great spot, short walk from parking area and only an hour from Helena! 1.5 miles from Hwy 200 to the cabin parking area and another 500' from the parking area to hike to the cabin gate. Sled located at the cabin for hauling. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE TO CABIN IN WINTER!!! Lots of cabin log entries that highlight vehicles getting stuck/stranded on the jeep track road leading to the cabin, so please get out and Walk. Tight cabin located near a small stream with good dark skies for star, planet and celestial observers. Cabin is well equipped with cooking pots, pans and a propane stove. I would recommend bringing the following items: silverware (very few forks onsite), matches, toilet paper, hot pads - if cooking on the wood stove and LED lanters/headlamps for lighting inside cabin. Propane lanterns put out almost no light in the kitchen or back bedroom. Large shudders keep out lots of light, open during the day and close em' at night! The splitting maul in the woodshed is about to lose it's handle. There is a Pulaski that works as well for backup. The water coming out of the pump was brackish but potable. Private road about 500 yards past cabin parking area so not much public land access other than hiking East of cabin, out past the woodshed. There are a few jeep track roads to hike along. Good amount of snow on the ground during our stay. Saw lots of tracks a few birds, squirrels and other critters out n about. Used both the back bedrooms fireplace and the main wood stove..it gets HOT. Best to build up a fire and then stock the wood stove and shut the door...back fireplace is open so it burns hot but does not keep heat in the bedrooms all that well. Fun spot, hope to be back and spend more time hiking around next time. Ciao.

We enjoyed our stay at Cummins Cabin. If anybody has a future reservation and has a couple extra bucks and the time to go to a thrift store, the cabin could use some additional stuff for the kitchen. I'm sure future users would appreciate it. I went to the thrift store in Lincoln to try and find some things - but they're only open on Fridays. The cabin needs: silverware (especially forks and spoons), small serrated knives, can opener, mixing bowl, coffee cups, drinking glasses, wine opener, colander, plastic dish pan. Sticky fly paper would also be great to take up there. Thanks to the folks who help make these cabins available. Peace out.

The area is beautiful and secluded with the exception of a few 4 wheelers and a jeep using the public access road next to the cabin. It was nice to be able step right out the door and go for a hike. Woodstove worked great. Also nice that there is a water pump and clean outhouse nearby. I will definitely stay there again.
