Cabin and Lookout Rentals

Home | Recreational Activities | Cabin and Lookout Rentals

We invite you to enjoy a backcountry recreational experience. Get away with family or friends and enjoy an experience from yesteryear. A night spent in a Forest Service fire lookout, or cabin can be a unique, and memorable experience! You can choose from among several properties in the Bitterroot Forest, from lonely fire lookouts perched atop a mountain to quiet primitive and rustic cabins nestled deep in the forest. Many rental cabins on the Bitterroot National Forest are historic former Forest Service ranger stations, work stations or fire lookouts. With the exception of a few cabins, do not expect the modern conveniences that we have become accustomed to. Rental fees are used by the Forest Service to manage and maintain these historic cabins.

Reservations can be made either by calling 1-877-444-6777 or online at www.Recreation.gov

Potential Risks: Travel on the National Forests and use of rustic cabins and lookouts involves a degree of risk. Recreationists must assume the responsibility to obtain knowledge and skills necessary to protect themselves and members of their party from injury and illness. Weather, snow conditions, personal physical skill and condition along with other factors can influence travel time and difficulty. Parents are strongly discouraged from bringing children under 12 years of age to Lookout Towers. Persons afraid of heights, or lacking physical strength, should also avoid climbing Lookout Towers. Prior to the trip, permit holders are advised to contact the local Ranger District for current conditions.
