I'm from Alaska where firewood is supplied in Forest Service cabins.The Wurtz Cabin has firewood supplied only thru the end of April...it can get COLD in May!I was hoping for enough firewood to heat the cabin as it was below freezing in the morning.I stayed only 1 of the 2 nights because it was so cold.

Long Gravel road but we got up in our Honda accord. Beautiful views at the cabin

Practically perfect. The cabin is very close to a dusty road so sometime theres a dust cloud.

We always love Wurtz!

The only sad thing is that the Wolf stove has been replaced sad day! This is such a great spot to make great memories and unwind!

Its a great cabin for a group.The kitchen is well stocked but needs a good deep cleaning. The drawers are very untidy.Bring lots of water.
@MichaelW725874 · Camped on Feb 6, 2024 at Campsite #1
Wonderful place. the wood stove needs work done on the door or maybe just the gasket as you cant shut it down enough

We have stayed at Wurtz cabin many times over the years. It is a wonderful location and a lovely cabin. The recent updates to the cabin were much appreciated! And the people before us get a gold star for how clean the cabin was. Thank you for picking up after yourself and leaving the place better than you found it. Made our stay get off to a great start!

We had a great time at Wurtz cabin! Very relaxing....just what we were hoping for!
@DebbieB7118892 · Camped on Nov 2, 2023 at Campsite #1
There was a pack rat in the ceiling that was loud and terrorizing us. Other guests have complained about it in the journals. Maybe need to trap it!

We loved staying at the historic Wurtz Cabin! It was a peaceful place from which to explore the North Fork portion of Glacier National Park, and the history of the cabin itself is fantastic. We loved reading about the challenges of Frank and Ella Wurtz as they established their homestead and looking at the family pictures on the walls. We hiked to the Thoma Lookout and didn’t see another person on the trail, and we loved cooling off in the river each afternoon. We saw a wide variety of birds from the cabin porch, including a Western Tanager and a Bald Eagle. This is a very special place, and we’re so thankful to the Forest Service for preserving and sharing it!

First of all, the grounds/lawn looked totally un-maintained: tall grass (1-2 ft) and no trimming. Really? Mow the lawn! Take care of the place; make it look like you are proud to have this cabin. The interior was kind of dirty, like the previous renters barely made an effort to sweep/clean the place. The curtains are drab and need to be replaced. I found the cabin to be in a sad condition.
@AnnaB8559934 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #1
Great time! Big yard for group fun. Propane lanterns help it not be so dark inside. Plenty of dishes/pots/pans etc. Great gas range stove, oven, and griddle made group cooking so easy.
@MichaelR189137 · Camped on Mar 19, 2023 at Campsite #1
almost perfect. A few issues mostly having to do with the public not the forest service. Last guests had a dog which we new by the poop outside. that is fine with us but we would all lilke to bring our dogs. Last guests did not fill the inside wood bin for the next guests us. Last guests turned off the heater clearly it says do not turn off the heater as the pilot light can be a pain. It was. I had to take apart the cover on the pilot and clean off the carbon deposit to get it to light. It was appropriately clean and neat. We had a great time as the weather cooperated.

There is fire wood provided for the cabin only. For the outdoor fire pit you have to bring your own, which we did. Bring plenty of fire wood during the cold months. Cabin is well stocked with pots, dishes etc. We enjoyed our weekend at the Wurtz cabin.

Great cabin with an amazing history.
@SandyH8798553 · Camped on Jan 22, 2023 at Campsite #1
The stay at the Wurtz was wonderful. We stayed there 7 years ago and finally had a chance to go back. We did some snowshoeing across the road down along the river with perfect snow conditions. The cabin is big and inviting and we loved having the wood stove, when the temperatures were in the teens we were warm and toasty inside. Thank You USFS for having these cabins open for us to rent.

Nice & clean cabin in the North Fork area.
@Christoph76212 · Camped on Apr 15, 2022 at Campsite #1
Awesome historical cabin and we loved reading about it. Cabin and amenities are all very nice. Tons of space. The fire pit area has beautiful views but is also overlooking the busy dirt road. We were there in spring but I imagine you get quite a bit of dust in the summer.
@KevinR7055754 · Camped on Mar 21, 2022 at Campsite #1
We love this cabin. We have stayed several times in differing seasons and have not had a bad experience. Love the North Fork!

Wurtz is a nice cabin, but it has gotten dirtier and dingier over the years. There was significant mouse droppings through all of the kitchen and in the living room. The floors and dining table were sticky and generally grimy. There's also not a lot of privacy at the cabin. Apparently people feel that they can walk up to the cabin and ask questions, park in the parking area to take walks across the road, and use the pit toilet. Not sure if I'll be renting Wurtz again,

Wonderful cabin in the Northfork. Clean, comfortable, well stocked. Lights were very easy to operate. So happy to finally get to stay there. It is quite a ways past Polebridge.
