The cabin is awesome. The problem is the non stop traffic up to the cabin to use the vault toilet and the brain dead people who think it’s o.k. to snoop and intrude I.e, can we look in the cabin? We had one couple pull up & park right next to the front door then, the guy left on a hike and left his wife sitting in the car for an hour. We couldn’t even walk out on the front porch. The lady became impatient and layed on the car horn repeatedly trying to get her husband to return. Constant traffic made us VERY uncomfortable!!! You need to put a vault toilet at the Wenatchee Trail head and a gate across the road up to the cabin stating, “occupants only beyond this point”.

An amazing experience. Entire mountain was essentially all ours to explore! The only people we saw were park employees, firefighters, and the occasional wood cutter.

I had a great stay at the Wenatchee Guard Station, all by myself. The weather was warm and beautiful. The nights were clear with no moon, so the stars were awesome. Next week the cabin will receive needed upgrades, so will look forward to coming back again in the future.

My wife and I had a great time here. The old guard station was comfortable and clean. We made good use of the fridge and appreciated the stove for boiling water in the mornings for coffee.
There was plenty to do in the area and the views did not disappoint. 10/10 - would stay here again.

Great cabin. Awesome view. Other than the creepy guy camped down the road who used our outhouse around midnight.

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.

Location Wenatchee Guard Station
Address:
71 West Main St
Pomeroy, WA, 99347
United States
From Pomeroy, WA, take 15th Street south (which becomes Peola Road at the city limits) for approximately 15 miles to the forest boundary. The paved road will end here. Continue on Forest Road (FR) 40 for 17 miles to Misery Junction. Take FR 44 east for 3 miles, then FR 43 east for approximately 3 miles. 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 miles. 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 miles 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.
