## 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.

mattresses, a table with 4 chairs, electric range, electric refrigerator,

stove is provided, along with a limited supply of firewood. A picnic table and
campfire ring are located in front of the cabin. An outhouse with pit toilet

water can be used for livestock consumption only, but guests should call the
