Located 70 miles south of the town of Hungry Horse, up to eight guests can enjoy the comforts of the cabin’s mattress-covered beds and warm up by the wood stove following various wilderness adventures.

The cabin is only available on weekends from early July until August, or sometimes the first weekend of September. Access requires up to a 4-mile hike or horseback ride to the cabin, depending on conditions and the time of year.
