The solar panel lighting is a JOKE! Come repaired with your own lighting.

Electric lights were a great addition. Everything was clean, well maintained, beautiful scenery. Just a word of cuation that the tree out front was dropping ticks and several of us got them before we figured it out. Dont sit under it.

This was our second time staying at this cabin. They've upgraded the lights to electric (running on a solar charged battery vs. the old propane lamps) and they were great. This cabin is walking distance to Rock Creek and close enough to Philipsburg that we were able to drive in to watch the Oilers beat the Kings in game 6 of the playoffs! It's got a great shower area in back of the outhouse if you bring a solar shower, and the place was clean and well equipped. A great stay all in all.

Appreciate the work by USFS staff in maintaining the homestead in these times. Always nice to see that users leave the homestead as good or better than when they arrive.

The addition of solar-powered lights was a nice upgrade, at least when there's enough sun to power the battery. This was my third stay, and I'll keep coming back.

Hogback Homestead is like visiting an old friend it is always great to slow down and visit.

Cabin was very comfortable, and the outdoor shower area behind the woodshed building was a great bonus. Having the propane lights and stove/oven was also a great bonus. We encountered no mice, which was a relief from stays at some other cabins that were overrun with them. Having access to Rock Creek just a short walk away as well as hiking was the icing on the cake.

Second visit. Great cabin with rustic but good facilities. Not for those who want a pampered stay, but great for those who are okay going without a hot shower for a few days and who don't need to be connected to the interweb.

Great visit! Nice to leave the windows open and hear Hogback Creek all day and night (only left the upstairs windows open at night). The splitting maul was pretty sharp, made it very easy to split wood (at some other cabins the maul was so dull it bounced off!). Very comfortable cabin, great area to fish, hike, and hang out.

I had not been here in 10 years. It was just as I remembered it. A real treasure. The place was clean and well maintained. The ranger was helpful with information about the road access.

Quite comfortable and plenty of wood for the stove. Probably would bring sheets/blankets instead of a sleeping bag if I come again.

Per the Missoula USFS in Missoula they advised not to travel the Rockcreek road due to snow.

Love this place! So wonderful for a quiet retreat from the Missoula area. Just bring lots of water and some blankets. The kitchen is well stocked with pots/plates cups. Inside slippers are nice to have too. The road is quite bumpy if you do the 29 miles south on rock creek. We do it in our Toyota Matrix. Coming from Phillipsburg is much smoother but takes 25-35 minutes longer.

It was a very beautiful trip to the cabin by way of Drummond and Phillipsburg. Going out the other way (north along Rock Creek) had its beautiful moments, but the road is very full of potholes and we could only go 5-10 mph. The house was much nicer than expected, but the old double beds were a bit uncomfortable. We might consider bringing our own cots next time and there is plenty of room to do so. A beautiful place to immerse yourself in another world!
