About This Location

Discover the rustic charm of Zips Place Cabin in Montana's Rocky Mountains. A historic homestead offering year-round access and primitive mountain camping.

Zips Place Cabin offers a unique glimpse into Montana history, situated on a former homestead site in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Built by the Kimmet family in 1954, this site provides a rustic and authentic backcountry experience for those looking to escape the modern world. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of the northwest Montana landscape, the cabin and its grounds serve as an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts seeking quiet solitude and direct access to the wilderness.

The terrain is defined by the sweeping vistas and natural beauty of the region, sitting at an elevation of 4,575 feet. Because this is a primitive site managed by the USFS, amenities are kept minimal, consisting primarily of vault toilets and nearby hiking trails. While the cabin is accessible by vehicle during the summer months, visitors should be prepared for a self-sufficient stay, as there are no utility hookups available.

This location is best suited for adventurous families, tent campers, and those interested in cabin rentals who enjoy a primitive atmosphere. Whether you are interested in hiking, biking, or winter sports, the property provides a serene setting for exploring the natural surroundings throughout the year.
