Complete Serenity

This was our third time to visit and as always, complete serenity. We come here to get away and relax and this place delivers every single time. We leave feeling so calm and rested and look forward to our next visit. The view is amazing, especially the sunsets. The house is so clean and well supplied. This place is a gem.

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
