The cabin is approximately 36 miles from Columbia Falls much of which is unpaved. The cabin is accessed by a 0.5 mile gravel road and is remote. It is wonderful to retreat to the quiet of the cabin after a busy day in the Park or Forest. Plenty of Parking for boat /raft trailers. The road from Columbia Falls will be snow covered in winter and possibly dusty and bumpy in summer but go slow as the views are tremendous as you follow the North Fork River flanking the mountains of the Park. We have a number of trails on the property and highly recommend hiking to the look out with your evening cocktails. There is a screened in Gazebo with large dining table for family/friend gatherings. Inflatable SUP and kayaks, spinning rods available for use at own risk please ask. Dart board in the old log cabin and other lawn games. The observatory is locked and off limits to guests however Jim loves to show you how it works and the stars. Just ask . It contains 2 telescopes and a solar scope and is perfect for the Montana dark skies.The cabin is remote with no neighbours, the skies are dark with no artificial lights to be seen. The cabin is solar powered with a back up generator. Internet and wifi calling is good so this makes for a great working retreat. Need a river shuttle ? please ask
We can help you with ways to access the Park, and visiting the surrounding 2 million acre Flathead Forest. Guests are welcome to explore the property, we have trails over 200 acres our favorite is a short hike to the "lookout" for evening drinks and sunsets!
The cabin is stocked with essentials, Columbia Falls is the last stop for food, gas and cell service so stock up before you drive up. We share the beautiful landscape with many animals including deer, moose, elk wolves, mountain lion and black and grizzly bears. We are therefore very careful about food storage, use of barbeques etc and hike with bear spray in summer (provided)
There is plenty of things to do outside of the Park, e.g hiking the lightly used trials (dogs allowed) in the Flathead National Forest, exploring the Lookout Towers, fishing lakes and rivers and floating the Flathead River, or take a day trip to Whitefish.
2026 Park Visitation Regulations have not yet been determined but there will be no vehicle reservations required in 2026. Visitors will likely be encouraged to book and use the express shuttle to the top of Logan Pass rather than private vehicles where there will be a 3 hour time limit on Parking. Polebridge Park entrance to Bowman and Kintla Lakes will have no restrictions unless the parking lots are full.
There are no services north of Columbia Falls, get your supplies, fuel and ice before you head up.
We have have maps and guide books and information on our favourite hikes. We can help you plan you day, figure out the Park entry system or if you wish or run river shuttles (extra cost)

The Polebridge mercantile now rents inflatable kayaks, rafts, paddle boards and ebikes which can be booked online under outfitters on their website

In winter it may not be easily accessible due to road conditions on the North Fork. We do snow blow the driveway and parking area. Roads in the Park are mostly closed to vehicles in winter allowing excellent hiking, xc skiing and snowshoeing opportunities. Polebridge is closed in winter so bring everything you need from Columbia Falls.
