Fantastic cabin! We spent New Years at the cabin and really enjoyed it. It was plenty warm and the new wood stove put in last summer worked great. There wasn't much snow and we were able to drive right to the cabin. I think they normally say you can only get within a mile in the winter, but even that might be a bit of an exaggeration - it's about 200 yards from the county road to the cabin.

Great, roomy cabin with a lot of room around it that the public cannot be at (good privacy there). Nice having a decent outhouse along with the regular indoor bathroom.Having an indoor shower was great, but the water pressure was severely lacking. I wish there was at least one "double" or "queen" size bed: all of them are made for one person.

Great location, cabin is in pretty good shape. It was strange but extravagant to have a bathroom and a refrigerator in a forest service cabin! We enjoyed our stay despite a lot of rain showers and mud that the kids loved to play in ;)

Great Cabin, had some high runoff over the road while we were there. A little worried about getting cut off but all good. May need to bring a couple cleaning supplies next time, Like a new sponge and some more dishwashing liquid for kitchen and a toilet brush and some comet for the bathroom.

Vigilante is in a great spot. Cabin could really use a once over. Kitchen is pretty gross and for some reason, every time I go here the place is a mess. People, use a mop! It won't kill you. That goes for the forest service too. When you folks stay there, the same rules apply.

More comforts than one could ever expect in the wilds of Montana.

My band loves staying here. We have come twice now to have songwriting retreats. It is peaceful, warm with the wood stove, and accommodating with the two bedrooms, kitchen, and living room. We will continue to return to this cabin forever!

Absolutely loved our stay at Vigilante during opening week of the big game season and then again I’ve thanksgiving week. Great property, clean and easy to use. Location is also awesome. Weather was a little too nice so we never did get our elk but definitely plan on staying in Vigilante again!

Everything went well and we were very satisfied. I think you need to haul some gravel into the parking area as it was wet when we showed up and rained some making that big puddle a little hard to walk around.

Very nice, good hiking and fishing. Be sure to drive up Warm Springs Creek.

A little hard to find (look for vigilante "station") but great once we were there!

Cabin is very clean and is easy to drive. The Ruby River is a short walk from the cabin.

We have stayed here several times during the winter for our snowmobile trips. It is always nice to come back to a warm cabin with power. Having a refrigerator and Oven really makes it a great experience. Will continue to this great cabin for our winter trips.

We had a nice stay, the house was clean and comfortable.

Always a lovely stay. Great cabin with electricity.
@AmberO608 · Camped on Feb 15, 2020 at Campsite #1
The road turned out to be impassable even with 4-wheel- drive. The cabin description only states that the road may be slippery when wet or snow-covered. There is no mention that it could be completely drifted shut & not plowed within a couple miles of the cabin. After digging out for 2 hours we turned around & came home without ever seeing the cabin itself.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
