About Garnet Ghost Town Winter Cabin Rentals
Overview
Located in the center of a historic gold mining community, the Dahl and McDonald cabins offer a rustic getaway to those seeking relaxation and recreation in the Garnet Mountain Range.
Located approximately 40 miles east of Missoula, Montana, Garnet Ghost Town is located in the center of the Garnet Winter Backcountry Byway, with more than 120 miles of groomed and ungroomed winter trails to explore.
All roads to the cabins are not maintained or plowed for wheeled vehicle access between December and April. Visitors should be prepared to snowmobile or ski the 11 mile groomed trail to the cabins.
Recreation
Explore the historic Garnet town site, with more than 30 preserved buildings to discover. Self-guided tour guides are available in each cabin for those looking to experience a step back into Montana history.
The Dahl and McDonald cabins are situated in the center of the Garnet Winter Backcountry Byway system, which offers over 120 miles of groomed and ungroomed winter trails to explore. Snowmobiling, skiing and snowshoeing are all popular activities in the area.
Facilities
The Dahl and McDonald Cabins are both equipped with wood stoves for heat, as well as propane cook stoves, refrigerators and lighting. The cabins are not equipped with running water or electricity. Potable water is available year-round at a nearby hydrant. Each cabin has an outhouse available nearby.

Natural Features
Located in the heart of the Garnet Mountain Range, the Dahl and McDonald cabins offer easy access to sweeping views of the Blackfoot and Clark Fork River Valleys, with trails traveling through mixed larch and spruce forests.
Getting there
From Highway 200 (recommended): Turn South at the Garnet Range Road located between mile markers 22 and 23, approximately 30 miles east of Missoula. Parking is available for trailers and unloading snowmachines. Visitors must walk/ski/ride around the entrance gate, and follow the Range Road for approximately 11 miles to Garnet. This route is ungroomed, and you may encounter other snowmachines on the trail. This route gains approximately 1500ft of elevation in 11 miles, and skiers and snowshoers should be prepared for moderate inclines. From Interstate 90: Take either the Drummond (Exit 154) or Bearmouth (Exit 138) exit. Then follow the North side frontage road to Bear Gulch Road. Approximately 7.5 miles up Bear Gulch road is a cleared area where wheeled vehicles may park and snowmachines can be unloaded. This route is only plowed by local landowners, and may not be accessible to all vehicles. Use at your own risk. From here, ski or ride an additional 4 miles up Cave Gulch Road to reach Garnet Ghost Town. This portion of the trail is ungroomed and is more demanding on riders and skiers. There is no cell service available along this route. Visitors should not rely on map software to navigate. Use at your own risk.
