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!

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.

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!

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

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.

From Pomeroy, take 15th Street south which turns into Peola Rd and follow for 8 miles. The road then turns into Mountain Road, follow for 7.5 miles on pavement to the forest boundary. Continue on Forest Service Road 40 for about 9 miles to Clearwater Junction. The cabin is located to the right at the base of Clearwater Lookout Tower. Guests may park right beside the cabin, but not on the concrete helipad.
Automobile access to the site is from June 1 to November 1. In winter, visitors must park at the Rose Springs Sno-Park, about 1.5 miles inside the forest boundary. From this point, guests can either snowmobile or cross country ski about 6.5 miles on a beginner to intermediate-level trail. Know the weather forecast before leaving as winter weather can change quickly.
A Washington State Sno-Park permit is required to park at the Sno-Park. Permits can be purchased from any Washington State Park office.
