Very cozy and nice cabin, or more of a farm house style. It was very comfortable and relaxing. Not too cold, but we still had a fire and it kept us warm all weekend. The skillet on the stove was dirty, we cleaned it for the next guests. We will for sure be renting this cabin again in the summer so we can ride our 4-wheelers and explore the area and be outside more.

Had a great time here, fireplace kept the whole cabin at least 75 degrees so we were super warm. We went snowshoeing and relaxed, it was a great stay!

The cabin was so much fun to visit. It was clean and cozy. Appreciate the chance to unplug and relax

@CarolF5826399 · Camped on Jul 8, 2023 at Campsite #CB1

I like to just sit and read; craft, or enjoy the area.

Always a wonderful stay. First time during the winter. Only heat source is a small wood stove in living room. No oven if you plan to bake. Recommend electric heaters for the 2 bedrooms. There is a nice trail behind the wood shed that goes to the top of the hill. Near the hill top is where to get cell service. Nice place to relax.

Had a fabulous time! Missed our Thanksgiving there but hopefully next year will work

This is a very nice cabin. Two bedrooms, main room and kitchen. It has electricity, stove and even has a microwave! There are hikes from the cabin and nearby. I am excited to come back and cross country ski nearby.

@MichaelT862538 · Camped on Aug 18, 2022 at Campsite #CB1

Well furnished and spacious

@AllieM1438557 · Camped on Jul 28, 2022 at Campsite #CB1

What a lovely cabin! It was clean, tidy and very comfortable with a small bubbling creek in front. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations both in terms of the cabin itself and the great hike right from the back yard. I only wished I’d booked it for longer.

Enjoyed this cabin. Pros: Easy access to trails and fun stuff. Cabin was clean and stocked well. Big area for the fire pit with benches. Lots of wood in the shed. FYI: the blower on the wood stove is not working so you really go through the wood to keep the place warm in the colder months.

What a comfortable cabin and space. It was clean and I really liked the historical artwork and explanation of the cabin's and drainage's history. Not only was there plenty of wood for the woodstove, but it was cut and there was kindling to get the fire going. Cabin is relatively deluxe with electricity and propane so we were snug as bugs. We had a dog with us and were grateful that the yard area is fenced since the paved road by the cabin has some speedy, if infrequent, traffic. The outhouse/vault was clean and didn't smell. To the Helena Ranger District I'd recommend that a screen be installed over the outhouse/vault vent to prevent birds from falling in and being unable to get out. Other national forests are installing these: https://tetonraptorcenter.org/our-work/poo-poo-project/

What a fun cabin! Makes you feel like you just stepped back in time. Loved reading "Little House on the Prairie" to the kids and looking over to see a desk (that holds the old typewriter in the living room) that's exactly the same as the one described in the book. Really made history come alive! The hiking trail behind the cabin is nice and the wood stove keeps the living room and adjacent bedroom nice and toasty (the kitchen and back bedroom stayed pretty cold in March so we closed those off and all cuddled close in the other rooms). Would love to return again someday and I highly recommend it for one of your adventures too!

Great Lil cabin! Had a wonderful time. The place was very clean and ready when we arrived. The bathroom was stocked and had plenty of wood for fires! One of our favorite places to stay.

@EmilyW153 · Camped on Oct 19, 2021 at Campsite #CB1

Moose Creek is a unique and exciting experience that we were lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy. I hope that this continues to be an option for the general public. The cabin was thoughtfully stocked. The wood stove cranked out heat to warm the front rooms in less than 20 minutes. We did have a mouse friend join us so I recommend sealed food stores when you go. Can't wait to go again!

@ElizabethW312 · Camped on Oct 15, 2021 at Campsite #CB1

Stayed several times (kind of a perennial favorite because of easy access year round). Cabin is always neat and tidy, so kudos to FS staff! This visit the joint was especially clean and the outhouse had been painted. As far as FS cabins go, Moose Creek is really the lap of luxury: electricity, propane stove, all the amenities/dishes, games, books, tons of furniture ... shoot, it even has a microwave and coffee pot! Just bring your bedding, some food, and some water. It's beside a road, but traffic is barely noticeable and infrequent. For me, accessibility is a major plus. Quiet, tucked up in the mountains, yet about 15 minutes from town. The *only* thing I wish was that the perimeter were fully fenced (and that's me being super picky!). We bring doggos (one who is a runner), and I worry about the pups being able to get out in the road. We just use a chain, so no biggie, though I cannot speak for my dog :) I understand that the gap in the fence is to bring in the wood truck. Now I feel silly for even mentioning it. Ok, I take it back. This cabin is FIVE STARS.

This ended up being a great halfway stop from Yellowstone and Glacier. It was really peaceful here. Not sure what happens at night though. I don’t know if people were out looking for wildlife but there were quite a few cars that stopped and turned around at the cabin and went back the way they came. Other than that and the funky looking bees, this place was great. The cabin was clean and roomy. Loved the old kitchen stove!

@MorganM413 · Camped on Jul 16, 2021 at Campsite #CB1

Great location for a celebration with friends and family.

@JohnH497 · Camped on May 17, 2021 at Campsite #CB1

Great hike from back of cabin on the Colorado Lookout Trail. We love Moose Creek.

@RobertP967 · Camped on Apr 17, 2021 at Campsite #CB1

It's a very nice cabin in a beautiful place.

@CaraleeK804 · Camped on Mar 1, 2021 at Campsite #CB1

Nice, quiet and clean cabin. Everything you need for a stay away in the woods! Great area. Would stay again.

@JuliaE114 · Camped on Dec 27, 2020 at Campsite #CB1

My children and I were here for 3 days after Christmas to relax. We LOVE this cabin. It was very cold, but the wood stove warmed everything up quickly. We actually got hot! We closed off the bedroom next to the kitchen and used that room as our refrigerator. There is a 2 burner gas stove which worked great. (we were told by the Ranger District it was a Coleman stove and you needed to bring your own fuel - not true) The kitchen table is wonky and hard to sit more than 2 due to a broken leaf. There is a nice love seat, all other seating is hard wooden chairs - bring your camp chairs! Lots of large windows with nice views, a great plowed parking area and a wonderful woodshed. The cabin is on the road, but we really didn't notice any noise. We hiked the trail right behind the cabin - steep but gorgeous views. I want to come back in the summer and hike up to the Continental Divide. Walking the bridge over the creek to get to the cabin added to the charm.

@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!!!
