Clean cabin with LOTS of room and bedding. Lights and heat work well. Take plenty of water and your own eating utensils as few available at cabin. Cabin does have most cookware. Great views when the clouds lift.

No electricity or running water. Propane light and heat. The cabin was cozy and the beds were comfortable enough. The kitchen supplies cooking pots/pans, plates, cups, and eating utensils. However, I recommend washing everything before use, due to evidence of mice crawling over everything. We even caught one in the mousetrap during our stay! Bring your own saw to gather firewood if you want a campfire and your own seating. Otherwise, enjoy the quiet evenings with the occasional sound of traffic on the nearby road.

We really enjoyed the cabin! It was very clean, including the vault toilet, with comfortable beds. Great location, and very well kept. The cabin doesn't have a refrigerator, so plan for that.

Nice location, but was disappointed that the huckleberries weren't ripe yet. The first night was very hot in the cabin. There was very little toilet paper in the vault toilet, good thing we brought plenty of extra. Directions on how to get to Anna Creek from the cabin would be great.

We enjoyed our time at Anna Creek! There were only two of us, but it could accommodate a large group easily. Very roomy! We enjoyed sitting out on the deck, or under the roof of the front porch when it rained. Nice campfire area and very clean outhouse. We'd been tent camping beforehand, so it really seemed luxurious to have a large kitchen with a stove and a sink. Of course, beautiful Montana scenery all around, with access to the reservoir not too far away. No phone service, but that's a big positive for us! The peace and quiet was wonderful. We appreciate the effort put forth by Forest Service employees! Thanks for a very pleasant experience.

Nice large cabin. Previous renters left a bit messy and the back bedroom door was wide open. There was no lock on the gate, but it did open and close. Mattresses were very comfortable. We drove down to Spotted Bear and up the east side road to a boat ramp which had a nice place to swim. Thanks to the Forest Service for this great rental!
