About
Beaver Creek A-Frame Cabin sits in the heart of the Bitterroot Mountains, approximately two miles up Beaver Creek from the St. Joe River. This large rustic A-frame is located on the St. Joe Ranger District of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests, just a few miles from the St. Joe Wild and Scenic River and the historic Red Ives Ranger Station.
The cabin offers 1,900 square feet of space including an upstairs sleeping area, two decks, and a covered outdoor cooking area. Inside you'll find two twin-size beds, a dining table, and a wood stove for heating (firewood not provided). An outdoor wash basin and vault toilet serve the property. There is no electricity and no potable water; guests must filter water from the nearby stream and bring their own lighting, sleeping gear, and cooking equipment.
The area provides excellent opportunities for ATV/UTV riding, hiking, fishing, hunting, and berry picking. No cell service is available. The closest towns with amenities are St. Regis, MT (approximately 39 miles) and Avery, ID (approximately 40 miles).
