Our stay at the historic Bull River Cabin was fantastic. Thanks to the Kootenai National Forest for maintaining and making this resource available to the public!

It's a lovely place to stay. The history is amazing.

Great place!

Cabin is in a beautiful location. There is an awesome creek across the road. Visitors daily stopping by to check out the historical building. Was happily surprised to see a fridge. Wasps everywhere all day, multiple stings in our group so we stayed inside or far from the cabin during the heat of the day. Lots of biking and hiking opportunities right from cabin. Bull River is very close but need to hike through bushes to access, tributary across the street much more accessible. Both very cold!

Another great time at the Bull RIver Cabin, late June there are mosquitoes, bring plenty of bug spray.
@KimberlyC97404 · Camped on Mar 8, 2024 at Campsite #1
Nicely appointed cabin! Beautiful setting and it is fun to read about the history of it.
@ChristyN2E211D · Camped on Nov 19, 2023 at Campsite #1
We really enjoyed our stay. A very nicely stocked kitchen. Make sure to bring mattress covers. The ones on the beds are very stained.
@NancyS9263746 · Camped on Nov 5, 2023 at Campsite #1
The furnace is so loud it kept us all awake most of the night. The windows and doors are absolutely filthy and haven't been cleaned in years. We did basic cleaning but at $75 a night we are entitled to a more sanitary situation.
@NathanC2334492 · Camped on Jun 19, 2023 at Campsite #1
Lovingly done historic preservation, complete with period-appropriate furniture. The kitchen is well outfitted with cooking and eating paraphernalia. We re-upped our water supply by boiling water from the nearby East Fork.
Do be aware that there are mice in the cabin. We found no operative traps and didn't think to bring our own. Plan your food storage system accordingly!

This is a very nice cabin with all amenities available except for drinking water. Otherwise, it was clean and comfortable.

great place to stay. Nice and quite.
@DanaH9105895 · Camped on Feb 10, 2023 at Campsite #1
We had a great stay here! We have a minivan with snow tires and were able to drive all the way up to the cabin on the roads with no issues in mid-February. We stayed with 6 adults/3 couples and each couple was able to have their own room. Cabin had everything we needed for cooking/eating. The heating worked great and we stayed plenty warm at night. Enjoy!
@ToniC9210874 · Camped on Oct 18, 2022 at Campsite #1
Beautiful cabin with every amenity and more! Loved reading the history of the cabin and the old photos. Beautiful location. We will definitely be back!
@AmandaK6014539 · Camped on Sep 16, 2022 at Campsite #1

It still is such a wonderful cabin and so nice for the location, beautiful scenery etc. I've rented it 3 times and always had a great time. Warm and relaxing and while most of the time, someone has graciously left some wood for the great fire pit, you wouldn't want to miss out so come prepared if you want to see a sky full of stars while cooking marshmallows.
@howards5966886 · Camped on Feb 22, 2022 at Campsite #1
lots of dog hair on everything. that is the only negative thing about the stay.
@ErinT2760485 · Camped on Nov 24, 2021 at Campsite #1
We LOVE this cabin. It’s our fourth or fifth visit.

Very clean and comfortable. Lots of mosquitoes. Fun to access the river behind the cabin and creeks across the road.

The cabin is charming and was very clean. Thank you, previous renters! The location by the river is nice but had lots of visitors park by the cabin to go fishing.
The biggest complaint is that the cabin was recently restored but not to historic preservation standards. It is a shame that the FS historians allowed the electricity to be installed and for God's sakes they put in an electric furnace in lieu of the wood stoves. The charm of renting a truly historic 1908 cabin is no longer there.
The place desperately needs screens. Flies and mosquitoes are ubiquitous. "Wire Cloth" (window screens) were in common use by the late 1800's.

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.
