This cabin has a spring fed water source that is pumped into a 1200 gal holding tank and gravity fed to the cabin. There are some areas of the cabin that are not completed.

The original homestead built back in 1910 was dismantled and the wood was eventually sold to build a rustic-looking building in Kalispell. The old log home on the property still has original boards from 1910 and was built onto by the owners using milled logs from Bear Springs Ranch.
