Clearwater Lookout Cabin

I was pleasantly surprised to find the fridge was on and the gas stove was connected. I was also pleasantly surprised to find pots, pans, paper towels, etc. The only things I *needed* to bring were water and bedding and normal travel stuff (toiletries, clothes, etc.).

Beautiful views. Wonderful free range cows coming to visit. Loved it. I just wish we could have gotten up into the lookout tower.

Quaint, quiet getaway location. Easy access to off road trails. I definitely hope to make a return visit!

We spent two fantastic days in this wonderful little cabin surrounded by a thick fog that made it feel like my wife and I were the only two people on earth! I definitely recommend staying here and will do so again!

Pretty comfortable cabin, the beds were very comfortable. There is plenty of room for an RV to park and room in the bedroom for more cots or air mattresses. The bathroom is pretty close and the working fridge is very nice to have. The roads were not bad coming from connell way. Do not go tuccannon road way if you drive a big rig or small car, the dirt roads are like driving on railroad tracks. I went tucannon road coming in but it added an extra 45 minutes just from having to go so slow on those roads and tears your car up so just go around the longer way from the highway. Bigger SUV or trucks shouldnt have a problem though.

The cabin has great views but the wind can be pretty crazy. It also feels like zero privacy because people come up and down the road pretty often. Great views but feels exposed.

A view that goes on forever plus—WOW—MANY, MANY stars. May come back with my telescope! I was terribly afraid that I would miss out on this opportunity due to govt chaos. You guys came through with flying colors. You made me proud, both as someone who’s worked with the USFS in the past and as an American who is just deeply, deeply grateful for you all making a very short respite with a few trees and a tremendous view possible! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Cabin kitchen stuff was equipped excellent. Refrigerator works great.
Recommended to others.

We were unable to access the cabin and get in and had to find another place to stay. This was partly my own fault because I didn't read the email thoroughly that said to call for the code to get in 1 week in advance. There was a number to call. but as we arrived after 5pm, no one answered and we were unable to get the code we needed to get in. I figured I had all of the information I needed in the emails they sent. It is very remote, but looked like a nice place to stay for the night. I should have paid more attention, but I feel as if it should have been more clearly and noticeably stated that I would need to reach out for the code or they should have just emailed that to me.

Excellent little cabin, nice location, convenient fridge/stove and heater on propane. Some traffic—good gravel road draws lots of passerby, the toilet block gets some public visitors by day. Nice fire pit. Two bunk beds w good mattresses. Bring water and bedding. The heater is strong. Dishes, pots and pans, silverware all included.

Great view from the cabin. The goomed trail was easy to XC ski on. We had a heads-up that the heater was temporarily broken so we came prepared and were cozy. The bathroom door had frozen partially open so there was lots of snow inside. Can't wait to go again.

Great location. Big sleeping area and good kitchen space. Public vault toilet was convenient. Gas lamps are nice but set off the carbon monoxide alarms after a few hours. Heater didn’t work which was a major bummer because it was 10-20F outside. There’s no other way to heat the cabin. We would have been in real trouble if we didn’t have 0 degree rated sleeping bags.

This cabin is stocked with almost literally nothing. Bring your own kitchen gear, matches, water or pot to melt snow, lighters, blankets, matches, pillows, matches, toilet paper, and battery-powered lamps.
