Our family of four had a great time at Wenatchee Guard Station last weekend! The breeze blew out some of the wildfire smoke and the views were spectacular. The building was clean, cell service fine (Verizon), and everything was in working order. We took a drive and stopped at the Misery Springs CCC camp, as well as the Clearwater Lookout Cabin and tower and the Clearwater Big House Cabin to check them out. What neat facilities! We can't wait to return to further explore the area. The only thing missing was a dustpan for sweeping up. I made do, but the next person visiting should bring one to leave there.

This was my first time staying here, but third time in the area. Definitely a great stay! Reasonably clean and comfortable. Nice and quiet, except for occasional cows yelling at each other.

The sunrise and sunset views from this spot are among the best in the Umatilla National Forest.

Always enjoy staying here, and this time was no different. The weather was excellent, and the facility was clean and kept up. There was very little traffic which was nice. Beautiful view, and the night skies were beautiful with the stars. Some suggestions - the broom was broken and had not been replaced. There was no utility lighter for the stove and lights, and the cabin needed a fly swatter as there are lots of flies and bees.

We hiked in for President's Day weekend with minimal snow. We were able to drive to the sno park with our SUV, and there was just enough snow from there to pull sleds to the cabin. The area had gotten several inches of snow earlier in the week luckily. We got to the cabin in about two hours and found everything in excellent order. No trouble turning on oven, lights, fireplace, etc. We brough water but also melted some. It began snowing on our hike in and dropped several inches overnight so we woke up to a true winter wonderland. We xc skied on Sunday, read, napped, and ate. Hiked out on Monday. We did not see another soul the entire weekend. It was truly magical.

Amazing cabin! Clean, cozy , and beautiful
views! One HUGE MINUS! No privacy! Non-stop traffic up to the cabin, people have no respect for those who rented the cabin to relax. Imagine how you'd feel if 15 people a day came to the cabin to walk their dogs, use the restroom, and also to see the cabin inside. Really disappointed about it. A gate with a sign saying "occupants only" is REALLY needed PLEASE!
There was also the noise of a chainsaw next to the cabin; I'm not sure they are cutting down trees legally. Hunters with guns were driving around hunting animals, and it was right next to the cabin on the hills where we were walking, which is completely unsafe.

From Pomeroy, WA, take 15th Street south (which becomes Peola Road at the city limits) for approximately 15 mi to the forest boundary. The paved road will end here. Continue on Forest Road (FR) 40 for 17 mi to Misery Junction. Take FR 44 east for 3 mi, then FR 43 east for approximately 3 mi. The guard station will be on the left.
The site is accessible by automobile June 1 to November 1. Winter access requires skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles.
For winter use from Pomeroy, travel east on Highway 12 to Clarkston, Washington. From Clarkston, travel south on Highway 129 to Asotin, Washington. Just before entering Asotin, turn right at the bridge onto County Road 105 to Cloverland. Continue past Cloverland to the Sno-Park. Park here, then travel by snowmobile or cross country ski (beginning to intermediate level skiing) southwest on FR 43 to the junction with FR 4304, about 3 mi. Turn right and travel west on FR 43 for a quarter-mile to Wenatchee Guard Station. Pay close attention to the weather forecasts as winter weather can change quickly.
Cloverland Sno-Park has been closed, parking is still allowed but no maintenance or plowing will occur during the 2024/2025 season due to a lack of funding. This includes the 3 mi on Cloverland Road from where the county stops plowing to the Sno-Park. A Washington State Sno-Park permit is no longer required to park at Cloverland Sno-Park, but snowmobile registration is still required.
