Very nice mountain cabin

No complaints at all. Cute unit. Incredible view. Close to Mentone, DeSoto Falls and also Cloudland Canyon. Unit is clean and nice. Hot tub works and feels good. Fireplace is really nice and warms room. Had trouble with pilot going out and someone came very quickly and got it started. TV works well. Nicely furnished and some good books. King Bed and couches/chairs are comfortable. HVAC works. Kitchen stuff (stove, microwave, coffee maker) all work. 11 AM check out is nice. Good instructions, directions (exterior locks, TV, fireplace, WiFi, etc.) came a day before check in and made it easy. We would definitely stay again. A very nice place.

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!

Incredible!

'The Lookout' is a perfect spot for a couple's retreat. We affectionately call it "the bubble" and love coming out here to get away from absolutely everything. This was our second time staying at this property and I cannot recommend it more highly. The cabin has everything you need, the bed is sooooo comfy, and the porch, porch swing, and hot tub are just divine.

Loved our restful stay at the Lookout at Mentone

We were blessed with four nights staying at this wonderful log cabin retreat perched on a bluff with the most gorgeous view. Just soaking up the view made me heave a deep relaxing sigh! My husband and I are working independent musicians and getting the chance to have some days off was so needed and a real treat. We mostly self-catered but did treat ourselves to a meal at one of the many fantastic restaurants in the area, we went for walks, and visited the lovely gift shops in downtown Mentone that are just minutes away. I highly recommend The Look Out at Mentone. The hot tub just iced the cake! We really relaxed and slept better than we had in ages! I hope to be able to visit and stay here again.

The view!

The first thing you notice, when walking into the cabin, is the view. The second thing you noticed is how efficient the space has been set up for guests. The third, and final thing, is the king size bed! There is very limited traffic on the road outside the cabin, making the hot tub a relaxing destination in the evening. Be sure to bring ALL of your sundries, as there are limited grocery options prior to arriving at the site. Since we are season travelers, we were prepared, but for a novice, make your grocery list and bring everything. We will definitely return, and recommend it for a future relaxation destination. PS the customer service and communication from the host agency was excellent!

Lives up to the name

We arrived for a long weekend getaway to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. We usually stay at Just Bluffin' (another cabin nearby) but it was not available, but fortunately for us, the Lookout was! The old cabin on the mountain's edge certainly deserves the name, The Lookout. We spent over an hour one afternoon looking out over the valley as the rain clouds rolled down the far hillside before finally reaching us. We then moved to the spacious front porch where we sat in the rocking chairs and listened to the raindrops on the metal roof. The large rear deck allowed us to grill, dine out, relax in the swing bed, lounge in the deck chairs, and spend time in the hot tub with room to spare. Of course, the views are fantastic; morning, noon, or night with sundowns being especially colorful. Perhaps the best feature is the loft bedroom and the King-sized bed when the day is through. Modern conveniences with rustic charm. We will most definitely be back.

Secluded with breathtaking views….

This was our second stay at the Lookout. We love the seclusion of the cabin and especially the back porch with the bed swing and hot tub. The view can not be beat. One of our favorite things to do is to time-lapse video the sunsets. The Lookout is a perfect cabin for a peaceful retreat!

Amazing!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Delightful Retreats, LLC

Thank you for choosing The Lookout as the hub for your mountain experience. You are surrounded by an awe-inspiring display of nature. Whether you’re here to hike the trails, paddle the river, photograph the views, or just take a break from the busyness, we are so happy life brought you to this place. Our hope is that you enjoy our cabin, and that the stories you create in the days ahead will be told for years to come.

This cabin represents an important chapter in our family story as well. It symbolizes a milestone in our lives, the realization of a dream that has been beating in our hearts for some three decades. And it is the backdrop we will use for years to come to build wonderful memories with our own family and friends.

Along the way we’re excited to share it with families like yours who seek to do the same.

For we aren’t just living life, we are writing a story. This story will be shared in scenes and sketches throughout our days — as memories of joy and sadness, of hurt and hope, of tears and laughter. But just as importantly, the story we are writing today will shape the generations that come behind us. Will that story bring them joy? Will it provide direction? Will it inspire laughter and encouragement?

You are writing those answers now. Your choice to be here, in this moment, is the start of a new chapter. The scenes you will write over your stay in our little storybook cabin will go with you long after you leave:

The taste of meals cooked in the kitchen …

The sounds of laughter in the living room …

The awe of sunsets from the deck …

The discovery of a new favorite book or author …

The comfort of a pillow at the end of a full day …

Memories are waiting to be created. Thank you for making our cabin part of your story.

Your fellow travelers,
Stephen & Michele Smith and family
