It's a very nice cabin. It was clean AND had a wood supply, for which we were very grateful, as we got in late. The view, as reported by others, is stunning.

A beautiful old cabin. Everything necessary was there, and no problems.

The cabin is in a lovely location with wonderful views. It would have been helpful if the cabin description or local office staff could have given specific information about the location and condition of the available water. Also, it would have been nice to know that the hike from the trail junction into the cabin was significant downhill on the way in.

My husband and our daughters had a great time! We stayed in early August, and the weather was great! It had been raining the previous few days, but we enjoyed sunny and breezy weather. There was a thunderstorm overnight, but we were comfortable inside the cabin. We had a campfire and a small fire in the indoor campstove to keep us warm enough overnight. We saw two grizzly bears in a distant meadow upon our arrival. There were also many chipmunks, squirrels and birds near the cabin. The views were amazing! The wildflowers were beautiful! We needed to a bit of tidying up upon our arrival, dirty and dusty inside. The outhouse was in acceptable condition. We dirtbiked in, and it took us just under 1 hour from the parking area (7 miles of ATV trail and 1 mile of singletrack). We had to take two trips to pack in and pack out, the trails were fairly challenging, rocky, steep and muddy at times. So about 3 hours total travel time. Very fun and memorable! We would definitely recommend staying at Cabin Creek Cabin.

The Cabin Creek Forest Service cabin is a great place to stay. The views to the West of the Madison range if phenomenal as are the night sky views. We took in an electric chainsaw to supplement the wood supply and water from the Middle Fork of Cabin Creek was readily available. Celebrated my 83rd birthday there. But in this dry year didn't see any elk.

This was our first time to Cabin Creek Cabin, and we had a fantastic time. The cabin is well stocked with cleaning supplies, cooking utensils, plates, cups, brooms, axe, saw, camping chair, etc. the sleeping cots can get a bit cold and hard, so I added one of the closed foam pads provided. However, the cots squeak, and there were plenty of complaints in the logbook of poor nights sleep. The cabin was clean, the screen door was great to allow airflow but also keep out the bugs. There’s plenty of firewood.

Not a lot of help or maintenance from FS local office. Pretty typical in this district. Every other district we’ve stayed in does a better job.

If you love the sound and smell of two stroke engines this is the cabin for you. We used a snowmobile to access the cabin, which is one of the most beautiful cabins I've ever been to, we knew there would be some snowmobiles, as thats the price you pay to get to a cabin on a snowmobile. But there were days I counted more than 50 snowmobiles in the drainage. They would drive within 6 feet of the cabin (a few managed to get closer), they park and hang out within 30 feet of the cabin, pretty much all day there was a group there. Unlike other cabins there is no "respect cabin users" sign. I suppose if you are a rider this would be fun, but even then we could hardly have a conversation outside. I didn't even see a bird in the area, its sad to think about the impact that many (high impact) users has. Maybe midweek non-holiday, maybe drop 50 trees on the groom on your way in, maybe this isn't the place for folks who like to "access" on a snowmobile.
There was wood, some pots and pans, stream was running enough to get water (got to dig through the snow), and the views were eye popping. The trail was easy to follow (look for the orange blazes off the groom and a trailer will make the going tough as there are some serious doo woops along the way) Thanks forest service for a rad opportunity, I just won't be using this one again.

It was fantastic. It was clean, easy to find, and plenty big enough. The hike had some decent vertical but nothing too crazy if you don’t have bad knees like I do.

Had a great time there - I spent 2 nights. 1st night rained most of the night and it was nice not having to get up and pack up a wet tent. It was nice sitting on the porch out of the rain watching the flashes from lightening. No roof leaks. The screen door kept out the mosquitoes. The small table with bench inside was convenient for cooking, and eating breakfast and dinner. I brought my own stove and pans but there were pans in the cabin. 3 bunks inside iirc. I hope to rent it again next summer
