on the Mt. Hood National Forest. It is located in the Clackamas Lake Historic
Ranger Station. In addition to the cabin, the compound includes other
historic buildings such as a mess hall, gas house and fire warehouse,
all maintained to look like a Forest Service Ranger Station of the 1930's.
The cabin has 3 bedrooms with a maximum occupancy of 8 persons. The cost for 2005 is $80.00 per night Sunday through Thursday and $100 per night Friday, Saturday and holidays
Reservations may be made from 7 to 360 days in advance. . The rental season for 2006 is May 25 - October 23. There is a 2 day minimum stay and 7 day maximum stay.

If the cabin is unreserved for a single night (for example it is reserved Friday and Saturday and Monday and Tuesday nights and is not reserved on Sunday night) and you would like to reserve it for that one night, we may be able to accomodate you. Please call Kathleen Walker at (503) 622-3191 x 641. Leave a message if needed, on the single date you want it, your name and a phone number where you can be reached. Once we give the reservation system permission to override the two night minimum stay, we'll call you and you will need to make your reservation through the Reserveamerica site above.
Lookouts
Lookouts are small, measuring 14' x 14' and designed to house only one or two people during the warmer months. Therefore, the number of guests is limited to four (4).
Each tower is equipped with a propane cook stove (and instructions for operation), wood heating stove, table, chair, and a single bed.
Solar lighting systems have been installed in all three of the lookouts. At Fivemile Butte and Flag Point lookouts a rope and pulley system is available to transport your gear with ease. Clear Lake does not have a pulley system at this time.A catwalk surrounds the cabin.
On the ground are an outhouse, and a shed with a supply of firewood. It is recommended you bring your own drinking water.
You may want to bring a cell phone along in case of emergency.
Reservations may be made by phone beginning Oct. 5, 2005 for the rental season which begins Nov. 1st, at 877-444-6777
