Cabin has covered mattress pads - bigger/thicker than a camping pad - so no need to pack those in. Also has a good saw. Bring something essential to leave! TP, new journal for the cabin is needed, new kettle would be good. Thanks to whomever left us plenty of wood for when we first arrived! We of course replenished. We're lucky the United States Forest Service provides places for those of us who like to go further into the wild.

Good cabin

Remote cabin. Moose scat scattered around, but no sighting. Creeks nearby. There was some people/dog food left in the cabin which can encourage mice which carry hantavirus. Lots of firewood and downed trees nearby - no need for a fire in late May. An outhouse is nearby. The bunks aren't the most comfortable, but satisfactory.

Had a great time at the cabin! Nothing fancy, but comfy and enjoyed the accommodations. The cabin was clean and orderly and great for two people.

Fox Creek was a serene little place in the pines. It had all the comforts (woodstove, bed) to stay nice n warm, even by myself in early October. There were many flies wanting to hangout, but no other creatures. I hiked in from Langohr and it was an easy, pleasant 2.5 mile forest saunter down grassy meadows, through tall trees running by a creek surrounded in yellowing leaves, and around a bend into the corner of the woods nestling this lovely little cabin. A creek flows nearby, allowing for easy access to water, and birds sang in the treetops above. There were hatchets and an axe there so you could easily find wood to chop outside. There were the basic cooking amenities neatly stacked on the walls, like oil, spices, some random utensils, a lighter, fuel cans, and other basics like a deck of cards and some cabin notebooks. It was a great stay for some glamorous "camping" out in our Bozeman backyard. I'd highly recommend this excellent little getaway for a night or two out in the quiet, to listen to your brain again.

The views are stunning! The hike in from Langhor is very steep!

This is a great little cabin! We came over History Rock and got it just as it got dark. There was enough wood, we just had to cut it down smaller to actually make any heat. The stove may have a dirty flue as lots of smoke came back inside any time we added wood.

The cabin was as advertised. Very simple and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised that there was chopped wood at the cabin. A really nice hike to the cabin. I was bear prepared, but saw no animals other than chipmunks.

The trip and cabin were just right for us. We walked in on S. Cottonwood Trail in 4.5 hours during a warm afternoon that softened the snow crust, making do some post-holing. We should have come in the morning while the crust was still firm, as it was the following morning during our 3.5-hour walk out. Cabin was quaint and rustic, with a single bunk, a wood burning stove, and not too much more. Just what we wanted. There was also a few cooking pans, scoop shovel, hatchet, wood-splitter axes, two bow saws, 3 mouse traps, and a small assortment of cooking utensils. Dead trees for the stove have been used up in the immediate vicinity of the cabin but there are many many dead trees a little further out, and there is a sled available to help pull wood back. The stove’s flu was broken, so the stove smoked the cabin a bit when the door was open, but was manageable. The stove’s ash shovel had a missing handle so the shovel quickly got too hot to handle inside the hot oven. We suggest bringing a new ash shovel.

Visited in early April after a very warm day, had a long hike in on soft snow the last 2.5 miles. Snowshoes would have been nice to have! Don't forget to restock the firewood for the next visitor.

I hiked in from South Cottonwood and it's about 6.5 miles of relatively low incline. Your other option of accessing the cabin is from History Rock in Hyalite and while the trail is shorter (4-4.5miles) it's much steeper. The cabin is about 8x12ft and is just big enough for a single bunk, small stove, and a table that folds down when not in use - it's certainly not meant for more than 2 people! There is a lovely campfire area right outside the cabin with plenty of logs for seating. The cabin itself has 2 folding chairs, a bow saw, a hand saw, small ax, large ax, and a few pots and pans of varying condition. The cabin is not stocked with firewood but there are many downed trees in the area so it's possible to saw and gather enough wood to heat it well. The proper etiquette is to cut and stack enough wood inside the cabin so the next traveler will have enough dry wood to make a fire. Because you will possibly be starting a fire with very damp wood I'd suggest bringing fire starters with you as regular paper won't be enough to get it going. Flies are always an issue at this cabin but leaving the door and windows open gets rid of most of them. It looks like someone before me brought in a fly sticky trap that hung from the ceiling and I have to say that it must be working well because there were far fewer flies in the cabin than I have ever seen! Maybe bring one along if you have them handy. **They recently changed the cabin combo and a few entries in the log books suggested that people didn't have the correct code and ended up crawling through the windows. As of 9/19/20 you'll want to use the cabin combo that starts with a 2.

Don't overpack-the hike in is somewhat arduous. However, the reward is a sweet little cabin with a porch, nestled in the trees.

@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!!!
