Strawberry lookout cabin was very clean and comfomtable. The first night there was not a "camp stove" as listed in the outline of what to expect but we enjoyed a wonderful dinner over the outdoor fire. When we returned from a hike the next day, the camp stove was leaning against the cabin door with a note from Forest Service technician requesting we put it in the cabin as she did not want to invade our privacy by entering. We greatly appreciated respecting our privacy. The tech also left another roll of toilet paper. SO-- Our suggestion for future cabin renters .. come prepared, be flexible regarding your hikes (changes in weather) as well as # of general public looking in your cabin windows. Most importantly please leave the cabin as clean as ,or better, than you left it. We definitley give our experience a strong 5 of 5 stars. A HUGE thank you to the forest service for opening it to public use!!!

Be careful renting in the winter. Many folks have gotten stuck in the snow. It is not plowed

Non-resident was camping in the parking lot upon our arrival. He agreed to leave when found we rented for our family. Very rustic, we just slept on the bunks and cooked on the fire grate. Disappointed not able to climb into fire tower.

Strawberry Cabin was the perfect one-night getaway! My partner and I live in Missoula and drove through Helena to stay at the cabin for the night. Parts of the road were fairly rocky/uneven, so definitely best to have a high clearance vehicle. Our CRV did just fine! The cabin was well stocked and we did not see any hikers during our stay. There were games and puzzles available, and the built in, fold-out tables were amazing! We can't wait to visit again!

Beautiful and secluded, some great hikes a short drive away, but expect visitors in side by sides or 4x4s skidding to a stop after speeding around that last corner to see a family and dogs enjoying the woods. The only turn around is between cabin and fire pit, so its only momentary blindness as their headlights blare (yeah they show up in the dark, I'm sure they're sober) while they execute a messy three point turn and drive out if you're lucky.
