Do NOT use Google Maps to try to get there. It took us to the wrong place. Luckily it came to a dead-end, so we realized sooner than later. Also, before you leave service, take screenshots of the info provided (directions & email w/ combo). Luckily I did, so we backtracked to the bar in York, then started using the directions provided, which aren't the greatest. Nelson is 7 miles from the bar in York, not 5. I didn't notice any of the landmarks in the directions marked. We had a lot of anxiety, worried that we weren't going the right way, especially after Google did get us lost & it was getting close to dark (we spent most of the day in Helena, then swimming @ Canyon Ferry). Right when we started considering turning around, luckily there was a sign pointing us in the right direction, but I feel there should be a few more. It was WAY back up in there - more so than I'd realized. It ended up being around 25 miles from the bar in York (which wouldn't been nice to know prior). The cabin & restroom were nice. I was worried that we'd get all that way up there & the combo wouldn't work, but thankfully it did (it was confusing b/c I got an email right before saying call for combo but the email had the combo, so I went with that but I was worried maybe I should have called). There was no key or combination lock to the wood shed as described (which we didn't need luckily). There IS a picnic table outside as well as a fire pit. I wasn't able to determine that prior & I really wanted to know, so FYI. Bring twin fitted sheets if you're using blankets. I just brought another blanket to sleep on & it got all twisted up. I would have preferred 1 less cabinet & have one set of bunkbeds be queen-sized @ least so that I could've slept with my husband more comfortably. It's a cute cabin, well maintained, pretty area but we probably won't be back b/c it's so far & there's no water nearby. We hiked Refrigerator Canyon on the way out - enjoyed that! Try to find the time capsule ;)
