Beautiful cabin, no snow this year, so easy to park but no xc skiing around the lake. Very hard to heat in the winter but it's possible, you'll need to go through 8-12 pieces of wood per hour to keep it warm. You'll want to get the stoves ripping asap. Expect the fires to go out overnight a couple times - bring very warm sleeping stuff. Cabin provides wood, be ready to split! Bring an extra splitting maul so you can have 2 people going at once. No sign of rodents during our stay. Lake was frozen over so we got to skate a bit.

This cabin is one of our favorites. Has basic amenities and potable water in the summer. I appreciate the Woods family for donating it for all to enjoy!

The cabin is spacious and beautiful! My favorite part was watching the fog roll down the lake and over the dam in the morning. The great room has an amazing view!

Very fun and cozy spot for a winter cabin stay! No issues with critters, they must have all been asleep or frozen. Took the advice of someone in the log book and closed the door to the sleeping quarters, cranked both wood stoves, and camped in the main area! Very well stocked with wood and kitchen supplies and all propane worked great. We were able to drive up to the gate, which was a huge bonus. Such beautiful scenery with the lake frozen over and the snowy mountains in the background. Not a bad drive for us to ski at Lost Trail during the day either! Can't wait to come back.

There are so many great things about this cabin. It's spacious, private, beautiful views, and so much more! But the rats... They were so loud that my kids didn't sleep either night we were there. We ended up hanging out in the cabin during the day and sleeping in our car night (all 5 of us, ha!). We are Montana natives and have camped at Lake Como many times. We are use to critters, but the whole ceiling was alive at night. Hopefully there can be a long term solution to this ongoing problem. All that said, we hope to be back! The cabin was well kept and clean otherwise. Lots of firewood and well stocked with canes and kitchen supplies. The lake views are worth the furry friends. A 7 year old's account: I loved it. It was kind of spooky when we first got there because we got there at night, but the next day we loved it. We brought games and played them. There is a rat named Steve and he ate our brownies. Make sure he doesn't get your brownies. When it was night time we slept in our car and the next day we played Simon says for a little bit. Then we roasted marshmallows and we went down to the lake for the last time. When we went to get the last things, we heard Steve again. We wrote in the book, so make sure you do too. P.S. There are lots of flies.

Beautiful place. Very smoky out while we were there but wonderful cabin. Definitely a lot of mice in the cabin, keep all food put up at night cause they are all over. Will be back for sure!

not much privacy around the cabin. there are a lot of visitors that camp out for the day in front of the cabin and walk through the yard throughout the day and evening. a beautiful area but not much peace and quiet

Felt like a remake of The Big Chill, wonderful experience, excellent camp volunteers and rangers. A magical place I hope to return to soon.

Love this cabin. It is, however large and therefore difficult to heat. There were 2 broken windows when we were there in late January, which contributed to that issue. We hiked to the waterfall at the other end of the lake, which was gorgeous!

Beautiful, rustic cabin with plenty of wood to burn. We loved just sitting on the deck and listening to the birds. We heard no rustling of mice at night, and by keeping our food on a table between the kitchen and main room (a method described by another guest in the logbook) we had no issues with critters getting into our food. Tip for the deck: the wood slats are further apart on the left side of the deck near the kitchen, and small feet tend to fall through. We found the right side deck boards were more compact and safer.
We can’t wait for our next stay at this cabin!

Nice location, spacious cabin. However, I have stayed in numerous Forest Service cabins over the last several years and the Woods cabin was very sparsely furnished. Other than folding chairs and dining table chairs there were only two chairs that were useable in the main room. There was an additional arm chair that was missing one arm and springs were poking through the seat. Also, the kitchen was very poorly equipped. A trip to a thrift store could probably remedy that. Since there were only two of us it worked out. However if someone was to book it for a group of twelve, like what it is indicated in the description it would not be very comfortable.

Lots of cut wood... rained most of the day and everyone stayed warm and enjoyed the views and the quiet....

The cabin was so much cleaner than it was last year! The kitchen, especially, looked like it had been well cleaned (we were prepared to never go into the kitchen from our experience the previous year). Good job to whoever was there before us. The wood supply this year was so much better than last....some of it was even split. And, all of it was very dry! Not much snow and way too warm for skiing, the lake was no longer frozen for skiing. However, we were able to hike to the falls and had a great time!

I love this place. It feels like home. Its rustic and you should expect a cabin experience. We are lucky to have access to this and experience a few days of life on Lake Como. The open layout and views make the experience feel magical.

Both wood stoves gaskets were broken. It was December and I had 3 youngsters with me 6,7 and 7. We had to abandon ship and go home.
The prior renters were 5 that didn't report the problems to the Darby ranger station ( more then likely broken by these a-hole because they didn't report the problems ). THANKS - ELIZABETH, AUBRY, SAWYER, LIAM, QUINN and RYYS ( you know who you are! )
PLEASE ALWAYS REPORT NEEDEDREPAIRS ASAP SO THIS DOSENT HAPPEN TO OTHERS and please be kind restocking wood and kindling for the next renter.... Always leaving the cabins better the you found them.
This is an honor system folks If we all do our part, we can preserve these cabins for the generations to come.
Three stars for the amazing views! wish we could have enjoyed them.

bring battery lights if you are there at night. keep shoes on when on the porch...seems like nobody takes care of the old cabin.... beware of wood stove by bedrooms... views are great and the squirrels are fun inside and out.
