This was an awesome place. The cabin has heat, refrigeration, and a stove, so if you wanna cook food you can. It’s all gas . The vaulted bathroom was amazingly clean also. The tower is 96 ft tall, but the cab at the top was locked. If you’re going up there expect to have some visitors, it’s on an open road that is a bit rough, and there are people riding side by sides on it. I didn’t mind because I think everyone should be able to enjoy these places. There was some firewood up there at the cabin and about 100 yards to the west is a beautiful view of the valley. Also quite a few memorial markers from family members that used to go up there. Be respectful. If you like the quiet nights you’ll love this place.

Gorgeous views, cold quiet nights, cozy clean accommodations. Spent 3 nights, the cabin has a full compliment of kitchen gear, the heater is great, the fridge and lights worked. Put in nearly 200 miles of gravel and dirt motorcycle riding and it was all stunning amd well maintained. Could not have been nicer. That said, bring plenty of water and charge your devices.

Great cabin next to the lookout. This lookout is manned during fire season. We climbed to the top twice. Great views! The cabin has everything you need except running water or power. Propane heat, refrigerator, and lights. Bring your own bedding.

Incredible views and a great place to stay! We stayed two nights, and, though we didn't find any extra mantles for the gas-powered lights, the cabin was clean and the toilet, honestly, smelled fabulous! The individual (Sarah?) staffing the lookout tower was very nice, too. As everyone says, the last mile to the cabin is somewhat steep and rocky, so make sure you have a vehicle with decent clearance and tires. My partner and I borrowed a Jeep Compass and didn't have any issues, and the lookout drove a Ford Ranger. We definitely hope to visit again. :)

★★★★☆ 4.0 Bob Bonstead · Aug 2021

Nice cabin rental. Cozy. Sleeps 4 in bunk and single beds. Dining table with 4 chairs. Log rocking chair. Sink but no running water. Cook stove with oven. Two propane wall lamps. Propane heater for cool weather. Side table. Low cabinet with essentials and books, games, related info. Water provided in 5-gallon potable water boxes. Vault toilet is outside and 25 yards away. Be sure to take a flashlight! Nice views down the road 1/4-mile at overlook. Gravel road in good shape but closer to cabin and lookout road is rougher. Not recommended for large RV's or trailers. Tight turns higher up. If your car's too low, don't go!
