Perfect cabin to spend Mothers Day weekend with my Mom! A walking trail parking lot across the road makes a loop and comes out behind the cabin. We did have hikers stop to use the outhouse and let their dogs run around (just an FYI). The creek is very close, and if you leave your window cracked at night, youll be able to fall asleep listening to it. Cant wait to be back!

Lovely spot to stay. Did some cross country skiing on FR200. Super cozy and spacious!

This ranger station is AMAZING! Its hard to believe a place like this even exists. The cabin was great and stayed warm. It has electricity, refrigerator, oven and stove. We brought our travel trailer and there was so much room for it. My girls loved exploring. Highly recommend.

Magnificent views, beautiful solitude, Birds were out in force, loving this spring weather. Didn't get to see any big game but certainly found signs of recent activity. Bear and Moose scat, prints in the mud. The water was too high for me to fish comfortably but there were some good looking bends and pools within walking distance of the cabin. Fun property to explore - just make a bit of noise :) The cabin is well stocked to include extra sheets, pillows. The mattress was better than most I've stayed in but there are no double or queen beds. All singles and a trundle bed (which was very comfortable).

Plenty of room for 3 adults. Snow was mostly melted & had been plowed into the cabin. We did not see any wildlife as mentioned in the guest logbook except for a large group of deer on the hillside across the road. Firewood was plentiful & we filled the outdoor wood box for the next guests. Windows had not been cleaned for quite a while, so we began working on them as time permitted. Mattresses were comfortable. We brought our own sleeping bags and blankets having not expected that sheets would be on the beds. Didn't know if they were clean or not as no instructions about handling them were not around. Enjoyed all the comforts of plenty of comfortable chairs, couch, lamps, tables, donated sideboard, etc & large refrigerator. Kitchen was well provisioned with pots, pans, cutlery of all kinds & seemingly quite new as well as well cared for. It was the perfect location for our family to relax, visit & enjoy country so different from where we live in Idaho and Washington. Loved Philipsburg. We hope to be back!

Lovely cabin, have so many wonderful memories here. The FS has done a wonderful job improving the cabin. A couple of suggestions…put in a larger trash can in the kitchen and provide guests with a vacuum. Now that there is electricity it would help with cleaning. Thank you for maintaining these wonderful cabins!

Very sweet cabin. Comfortable and easy access, nice sitting areas. We'll book again!

Amazing cabin. Well done; history and convenience is essential. Traveled to Philipsburg and met some amazing individuals.

Really great cabin
@JeremyS8080381 · Camped on Jan 2, 2023 at Campsite #1
We just love this cabin. Plenty of comfort and amenities, beautiful location and close to Discovery ski area (for downhill and/or XC)! Hope to come back again and again!
@TeyshaV8490681 · Camped on Aug 11, 2022 at Campsite #1
We had such a great stay! The cabin is perfectly charming and gave us easy access to all the recreation nearby.
@RogerF3989155 · Camped on Jun 24, 2022 at Campsite #1
This cabin is very nice, has been renovated and we had a great time. Very nice there are limited but useful utilities (electricity). While there is a good water pump, be aware that the water is strongly tinted with iron and is orange and not the best tasting. I would advise people to bring their own drinking water if that matters to them. Otherwise, very happy with the cabin.

Great place!! The only issue is the squeaky bed frames upstairs. A person moves slightly and can wake up everyone there.
@VelmaL899 · Camped on Aug 20, 2021 at Campsite #1
The cabin was clean and in good repair. The woodshed had a large supply of firewood and I was grateful for the use of the splitting maul. We were snug, warm, and dry inside the cabin as it rained most of the night.
@SymonW384 · Camped on Apr 4, 2021 at Campsite #1
2nd visit to this tow story with no electricity. Loved it huh just as much the second time around.
@EricJ791 · Camped on Jan 6, 2021 at Campsite #1
Awesome cabin! It still had well over a chord of wood out in the shed and was stocked with basic kitchen wares. So many places to explore nearby.
@TracyT737 · Camped on Sep 23, 2020 at Campsite #1
Easy to find. Well maintained very rustic clean cabin. Good supply of firewood for the woodstove.

@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!!!
