About Whitetail Cabin

Overview

Whitetail Cabin sits at an altitude of 4,048 feet in the north end of the Custer National Forest approximately 20 miles from Ashland, Montana. The cabin was built in

the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Formerly a ranger station, it is now a registered historic site.

The cabin is available year-round and is accessible by car, but guests should be prepared to hike about 100 yards to the cabin in winter, depending on road conditions. Some creature

comforts are provided, but guests will need to bring several of their own amenities. Recreation

Hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding are popular options in the area. Horse facilities are provided at the cabin.

In winter, the landscape is ideal for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

The cabin is popular with hunters during elk, deer and turkey hunting seasons.Facilities
