Doney Cabin is a Forest Service cabin in the Pintler Ranger District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in Montana, about 8.8 miles from the Deer Lodge weather station. The cabin is available year-round and can be rented for up to seven consecutive nights. All fees are non-refundable, and any changes to scheduled dates may be assessed an additional fee by the National Recreation Reservation Service. No campsites at this location are listed as accessible. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July and August highs reach about 79°F with lows in the mid-40s, based on averages from the Deer Lodge weather station. That station sits roughly 1,500 feet lower than the cabin, so temperatures at the cabin run cooler. Doney Lake and the Doney Lake Connection hikes both start within half a mile. Dolus Lakes and Rock Creek are about 1.6 miles away.
