Clearwater Big House Cabin
Clearwater Big House Cabin is neatly placed on a gently rolling slope in a clearing planted with a younger generation of Christmas trees in the area. The Cabin’s location may give the feel of being a winter chalet hideaway, even during the warmest months of the summer. This two-story comfort cabin lives up to its name. Expansively, with 868 square feet of living space on the first floor, and another 336 square feet upstairs, there are three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. Cabin lodging is furnished with propane heating and lighting, a table set, a propane cook stove, a propane refrigerator, along with queen, full, and twin beds. Renters will need to bring sleeping bags and/or bedding. Renters are also encouraged to bring their personal cooking and eating utensils for their stay. There is one nearby vault toilet that it is operational year- round. At this time, there is no water at this site; therefore renters will need to bring a supply of water for drinking, cooking, and washing. • Do call the Pomeroy Ranger District three business days before your arrival date to receive a combination for cabin access. Our office is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM and our phone number is (509) 843-1891. • Availability: Clearwater Big House Cabin is available for rent year-round. History Clearwater Big House Cabin was once a ranger station and once a deep-rooted trapper cabin. In 1928 and 1929, Ranger Grover Blake built a three-room house out of scrap lumber donated by local stockmen and game department. In 1933, 200 Civilian Conservation Corps’ men, whom were staying at the district, built the barn, warehouse, outhouse, and garage.
