Everything was great, as usual. The propane lantern is acting up and I would probably replace it. I would emphasize to bring toilet paper.

Plentiful supply of dry split firewood.

The walk to the cabin was very unique in its own way! We had to wade through a stream to get there. Once we finally got to the cabin we set up our equipment to find that the beds were better than usual and the cabin was better than usual. We had fun roasting marshmallows over the fire, we would recommend this cabin to anyone.

Fantastic, wintery trip! The cabin was toasty, almost too warm!, during a cold night. Well appointed with necessities and other things to enjoy

Thoroughly enjoyed the time at the cabin. However, I would warn others that the creek channel has changed at the trailhead which makes for a challenging creek crossing or a significant wade.

What a fantastic gem of a spot. Very well maintained cabin in a beautiful setting. Plenty of dry firewood, very nice wood stove and propane cook stove, plenty of pots and pans and other cooking utensils, chairs, sleeping pads, and games! We will most definitely be back. Thank you USFS Beaverhead Deerlodge NF, Wisdom Ranger District!

We love the quaint May Creek cabin!!! The new wood stove works GREAT!! Thank you! And, the new mattresses are very nice also. The dry firewood (vs green wood from years past) was a plus also. We had a wonderful 2 nights at the cabin. We skied up valley on our layover day, ate well, played some games and enjoyed our time off grid!

Cabin is well taken care of by the Forest Service and the public. May Creek is a hidden treasure.

New wood stove! Dry firewood! For everything else, theres MasterCard

The stove wasnt working properly and would smoke the cabin out. We had to leave a day early, it was disappointing. Hope USFS fixes the problem and installs a better stove that can exchange oxygen when starting and keeping the fire going.

Enough snow to ski in! Very cold at night. The cabin is all open underneath, so it takes a bit with that tiny stove to get things warmed up, even with leftover heat from the previous guests. The new stove doesn't have a damper (?) and the wood is dense, but once you get a really hot bed of coals, it's toasty. Caught one mouse, but the cabin was very clean. Laid fresh tracks on a long ski and enjoyed our time in the woods!

I love returning to this little oasis- so peaceful. We went for Easter Weekend and there was full snow cover, great for snowshoeing. However there were some loosely packed sections that we sunk through even with snowshoes! I imagine in the coming weeks you'll be able to access the cabin with hiking boots alone. Otherwise, I am always amazed with how well cared for this cabin is by the people who use it. Let's keep it up! Looking forward to my visit next year!

Excellent! New Mattresses! Dryer Firewood!

May Creek cabin is a special place and I always look forward to coming back the next year. I am glad to see that people are taking care of this unique structure. Trees burned by the Trail Creek fire are starting to fall in the upper May Creek drainage and make skiing up the drainage challenging.

We have rented the May Creek cabin several times in the past years. What a disappointment to find the wood shed full of green wood ! We heat solely with wood at home so we are quite experienced with wood stove operation, it’s pretty frustrating to get heat out of wet/green wood. In the past we have been guilty of getting tag cabin too warm . Also the provided propane cook stove leaks propane where the bottle screws on so could not use it . The “back up “ stove is just a pile of junk parts . Lost a lot of faith in the USFS after this trip.

This was my first time to the May Creek Cabin. What a nice structure in a beautiful setting. The people who stayed the night before left everything in immaculate condition.
Hats off to the Forest Service for offering and maintaining such a top notch shelter!
