During my Montana visit I stayed in three cabins throughout the Recreation.gov chain. Meyers was the best. If you want a hot shower, full kitchen facilities, comfortable living room, amazing mattresses and a beautiful outdoor space … this is the spot. The fishing on the Stillwater was bountiful. Thanks and let’s protect our greatest resource… our national forests and parks.

Anytime our daughter is there it's always an excellent time. The cabin was clean and ready to go. It's nice to come back from a cold day of hunting to an old warm farmhouse!! Love it there!!

This cabin is a delight. We were here this time in beautiful Montana fall. Electricity, heat, running water, stove, refrigerator in a Forest Service cabin! Amazing! The pots, pans,dishes and tableware were nice to have, since we didn't bring a lot ourselves. The cabin was very clean. Beautiful country at the doorstep for hiking.

A snow shovel on the porch would be helpful. The cabin needs maintenance. Either provide toilet paper or tell renters that they need to bring their own.

We had a great two days exploring the mountains and rivers near the cabin. Particularly enjoyed the peace and quiet around the place. Only one other person drove down the Forest Service lane while we were there. Fished the Stillwater, hiked up Meyers Creek trail, watched an impromptu rodeo at the ranch next door, experienced an amazing thunder and lightning display one night. Fabulous chokecherries up the Meyers Creek Trail, as well as around the cabin.
