The Ford cabin was an ideal base for a 3 day stay in late November 2024. Our stay coincided with a significant snow accumulation. We enjoyed excellent x-country skiing and wildlife observations. The cabin met our every need. A bushy tailed wood rat was eliminated during our stay. Look for the rat trap inside a cabinet drawer. There was absolutely no sign of any critters within the cabin. Bait the trap with cheese, deploy it out on the deck, and visitors will sleep peacefully without the scurrying clatter of "rats in the rafters" (See the handful of previous public reviews, some humorous, that document packrat headaches) The Ford Cabin is a gem. Get out there and enjoy the experience.

Was a great cabin to stay in. Would definitely go again

Ford cabin was clean and stocked with all the basics which was appreciated. The propane heater was nearly impossible to figure out (someone turned off the pilot light) which made for a cold night when it got into the 30s. We had warm clothes and sleeping bags so the temp wasnt the problem. The problem was the packrats that come out at night. Earplugs highly recommended or you will be doomed to hear the scurrying all night long and get no sleep. Evidence of rats seen in the morning on the porch. Lots of droppings! It is a remote cabin surrounded by beauty, thats for sure. Go to Polebridge for pastries and coffee in the morning if you dont get any sleep!

Location is so scenic, perfect for a river float. Cabin was clean and comfortable.

Had high hopes for this cabin but.The road and rafters access made for a busy loud experience.If you are looking for privacy and solitude with wildlife try somewhere else!However the cabin itself was very nice.

@ByronKF5157E5C · Camped on Mar 3, 2024 at Campsite #1

Excellent place to stay. Cabin was well stocked with everything from cooking and cleaning supplies to games and books. Extremely well taken care of, and a great time all around. The two gas lights are dim, so bring a reading light for night time. Absolutely. beautiful location all around, well worth the visit, even in the winter.

@JohnK6536193 · Camped on Jan 6, 2024 at Campsite #1

What a wonderful cabin. The gas made it so easy to relax. Very comfortable and peaceful.

There is a pack rat living in the cabin under the porch. Some people think it's cute, but it kept me awake, running around the cabin and making squeaking noises throughout the night. It is also not shy. Saturday night, I was standing on the porch and when I saw water dripping off the roof, I thought it might be raining, but it was the rat taking a wiz off the rafters. I looked up and it was staring at me. Another night, it was staring at me from the window sill. Also rat poo and pee to deal with every morning. If you think that's cute, have a great time! Cabin is small and cozy, located right off the main North Fork road near the boat put in at the river, so there will be some car traffic. Gas lights and cooking stove...no refrigerator, so bring a cooler. Hope this info. is helpful. I know people who are terrified of rats, so thought you should know. I love the forestry cabins, but I'll be staying at another one next time. :)

Secluded in remote Montana. Hour long dirt road drive but well worth it to get away!

@KacieTF789F20F · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #1

We had a great reprieve from a week of camping with a night at Ford Cabin in the middle. Unfortunately the large bed was super squeaky, though the mattresses were soft. Also, the deer mouse that lives under the porch was super cute! Pit toilet was clean and the yard was beautiful.

@Stephanie24021 · Camped on Jun 1, 2023 at Campsite #1

Simple cabin in a beautiful setting!

@ScottF5762481 · Camped on Feb 21, 2023 at Campsite #1

This is a delightful little cabin. It was exceptionally clean when we arrived, and well stocked with toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and games. We noted the abundant comments about pack rats in the log books, but we were fortunate not to hear any activity ourselves, though there were rat or mouse turds on the deck outside. In any case, we really enjoyed our stay.

@ShariC4124026 · Camped on Jan 29, 2023 at Campsite #1

Very peaceful.

@KimberlyC97404 · Camped on Jan 22, 2023 at Campsite #1

We found the cabin clean and cozy, and well stocked with supplies. Its proximity to the river is awesome, and we enjoyed Nordic skiing right outside the door.

@TimD6087971 · Camped on Nov 13, 2022 at Campsite #1

Had a great time, we'll be back.

@MichaelM831081 · Camped on Nov 5, 2022 at Campsite #1

The cabin is just north of Polebridge and is near the river. We enjoyed fly fishing and general exploring of the area. Would recommend.

@JenniferB63832 · Camped on Oct 22, 2022 at Campsite #1

We loved our overnight stay at Ford cabin. It was so pretty with the falling leaves and light snow. The cabin was super cute and cozy.

@Christian30925 · Camped on Jun 24, 2022 at Campsite #1

Haven’t gone yet

@GaryT6790939 · Camped on May 24, 2022 at Campsite #1

Toasty warm, cozy, and clean! Dug out the fire pit from the snow and had a relaxing night around the fire during a blazing full moon.

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.
