Everything was as expected....except for the water. The pump was removed for repair, so we had to bring our own water. Other than that everything was great. We had family who stayed in the campground, they raved about the creek access for the younger kids who were in the creek most of the time. Water was low, relatively slow for the height of the water. We will definitely return to this beautiful place. Visiting ATV drivers were driving awfully fast thru the camp area where little children were....so watch your small children so they dont get run over!!! Oh Sapphire Village and others in the area have Air BnB rentals for electricity and indoor bathrooms. My parents and aunts stayed in the Village and visited during the day (short 4miles from the cabin and campground.)

Love this place, especially in winter for the off-track cross-country skiing. The snow has never failed in February! And you never have trouble getting a reservation. The last mile of road isn't plowed, and the last half-mile can be tricky in snowy conditions, but I've never failed to get all the way to the cabin with 4-wheel drive and (sometimes) chains. And hey, hauling gear 1/2 mile is a snap, if it comes to it. The cabin is cozy, spacious and warm, and great for groups, with 3 bedrooms and a futon. The best, most scenic skiing can be had going up the river from the cabin, as far as you like; or along Ettein Ridge. The quiet winter surroundings will astound you, as will the night sky. Do it! You'll come to love winter out here.

It is awesome! River was to high and fast for fishing so we did more hiking and played baseball in the grass with a plastic ball and stick, laughed alot! When it rained we played board games and did puzzles. Thank you for all the wonderful things set up in there. Putting the flag up upon arrival always ads to the beauty and atmosphere. Plan on contributing to the indoor activities collection on our next visit in July. Its our favorite place to go when we can squeeze a small chance to get away from the ranch!

Wow! very impressed with how stocked and furnished it was! Friends have a rental vacation cabin and have constant theft of small items. Was an wonderful trip and highly recommend it for others. Played taps on Memorial Day and put up/down the flag. Only thing that would have made it even more perfect would be able to keep the horses there to.

Wonderful old house, not just a cabin. Lovely spot and wonderful character.

We had a wonderful time hiking (no snowshoeing because of lack of snow) and playing cards.

Wonderful experience finding the beautiful Judith River Ranger Station. Not only was the cabin in great condition it also had 4 beds and 3 trundle beds. We had a great time staying there.

It's a wonderful historic cabin. I would not rent this during the summer as there is a campground right in front of it. The quiet, peaceful environment was why I came, so don't think I would have enjoyed it as much with lots of other people around. There ARE mice. They run around between the floorboards at night. They didn't bother me, and I never saw them but if you don't like mice, this is not the cabin for you. Lots of bird life and wildlife. Great hiking trails. In winter propane heat and stove are a big bonus. I will be back next winter or early spring.
