Setting
Fleecer Cabin is a Forest Service field station built in 1924, located 15 miles south of Butte in the Fleecer Mountain Range. Available for public rental from late October to mid-April, the two-bedroom cabin sleeps up to five people and features electricity, forced-air heat, a woodstove, flush toilet, shower, and full kitchen with running hot and cold water. An outdoor horse corral and grassy pasture sit adjacent to the building. Trailheads for mountain biking, hiking, and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail are within one mile.

Continue about 3 miles to Forest Road 447, turn left and travel about 2 miles to the cabin. The access road is on private land and the gate must remained closed and locked.
