The Chief and the Fair Maiden spent two nights in this delightful log cabin built in 1927. The cabin had electric lights and a cookstove. A woodstove kept us cozy when the temperature dipped into the 40's on August 9th. The Mill Creek Cabin is located in the Absoroka Range 12 miles southeast of Pray, MT.
Twenty-three log cabins are available for rent on the Gallatin National Forest. Built primarily in the 1920s and 1930s for use by early Forest Rangers. Some of the cabins have electricity, all have either wood or electric stoves for cooking and heating, none have indoor plumbing. Our cabin had a modern, clean shitter unlike the imfamous contraption at the Rossiter Lodge. The lack of indoor plumbing posed no personal hygiene problems as Chico Hot Springs is just down the road. For $6.50 you can soak your aches and boils away and take a good, hot shower in their incredible mineral water.
The back porch overlooked the fabulous Mill Creek, a trib of the mighty Yellowstone. This tumbling creek is just chunk full of beautiful Yellowstone Cutthroats. The sunburn scene in "A River Runs Through It" was filmed here.
