Highly recommend. Yes, it has the view you are hoping for and it’s absolutely amazing! Back deck is perfectly set up to enjoy the view and has the bonus of being fully enclosed allowing our dog to be unleashed. Deck has a dining table, charcoal grill, big porch swing, adirondack chairs and a hot tub. The cabin feels isolated. You don’t see or hear any other cabins. There are a couple cabins down the street but blocked by trees so you have total privacy. Close to the road but there is almost no traffic since the cabin is about 5 miles outside town in the opposite direction of the state park. Inside is nice and comfortable with all the modern amenities in good working order. Perfect couples retreat. We will be back.

Beautiful view and cozy cabin

The view is gorgeous when it's not foggy/rainy. Unfortunately two of the days we were there it was like that. But we did see it on the first day. The cabin is cozy and relaxing. There are neighbors, but they aren't very close and we couldn't see them, only could faintly hear them. It's far enough away from town where you feel alone with nature. The area is really nice and quiet.

What a BEAUTIFUL stay!

This was a beautiful stay. It was a bit drafty but sometimes you can't help that, especially with how old the cabin is. Just bring warm clothes if its going to be cold and windy. I can suffer a bit of cold for that view though. Beautiful!

Loved our stay at The Lookout! My wife and I love just relaxing on our vacations, so this was perfect. The views are INCREDIBLE. The sunsets are such a treat and this is the best hot tub experience I’ve had at a Vrbo. Definitely recommend for a couple looking to get away!

Amazing

Everything was as suspected. Only thing is that the loft bedroom you need to be careful because the ceiling is low and on the right side of the bed you can hit your head on the beams lol. And to turn on the shower you pull the knob and turn it to cold because it’s opposite but the hot water stays on forever it never ran cold. And it stayed very warm the whole time we got there and it was already dark but they left some of the light on around and inside the house so it wouldn’t be pitch black. I throughly enjoyed it and would definitely book it again.

Amazing time

I am so picky when it comes to staying places— when I arrive it has to be very clean or I will leave. This cabin was immaculate! It is so cozy and had so much privacy, but we loved knowing their were other cabins not far from us. The view is even better than the pictures, and we loved the outdoor swing that was the size of a bed! We spent so much time out there. The hot tub was clean and a great way to spend our evenings. We will definitely be back!

We chose this spot for the views and distance from neighbors. Couldn’t be more happy with our stay! The view alone was amazing but add in the porch swing, hot tub, and wind rustling through the trees and it was the perfect getaway.

I needed a break and this place was the most peaceful place with breathtaking views! Everything was perfect! The area is very peaceful. No scary mountain roads getting to the place. The cabin was amazing! The only thing is that if you want to dine out you need to ensure reservations. I will definitely be back!
