Big Creek Cabin

Big Creek Cabin is a rustic backcountry cabin in the Custer Gallatin National Forest at 5,800 feet elevation, accommodating up to 11 people with wood heat and a propane cook stove.

Located along Big Creek in Paradise Valley with access to trailheads and excellent trout fishing, the cabin requires high-clearance four-wheel drive vehicles to reach via Big Creek Road (5 miles from Highway 89), and winter access (December 2-May 15) requires skis or snowshoes.

Guests must bring all supplies including water, propane, firewood (summer), and pack out all trash, with a stock corral available for six animals.
