The Lookout at Mentone-log cabin with hot tub & amazing views!

A taste of history! If you love log cabins, The Lookout is a serenely beautiful, 100-year-old restored cabin immersed in nature with breathtaking views. It's like stepping back in time into a secluded mountain haven.



As you enter, you'll notice the rustic décor with exposed log walls and all the comforts of home. The living room features a big comfy couch, fireplace, flat-screen TV and the cutest window seat ever …perfect for reading a good book.



The combined galley kitchen and breakfast nook is efficient for preparing snacks for your hike or enjoying your morning coffee — but don't forget about the deck with its custom raised deck chairs! The views are enough to make you want to spend all day outdoors.



The outdoor hot tub is ideal for relaxing after a day of hiking or sightseeing, with the mountain air to refresh your soul. Imagine just letting time drift by from your seat on the porch swing…such peace in a natural setting!



Share memories around the fire pit… roasting marshmallows or hotdogs to get that smoky taste. Surround yourself in nature and create new memories to last a lifetime.



The loft bedroom features a king bed. A bath/shower is on the main floor. If you have additional guests, a sleeper sofa will accommodate them. Perfect for a weekend lover's getaway with a cozy feel, this historic log home awaits you for a relaxing retreat with its own mountain majestic views, surrounded by natural beauty.



This cabin is located in a rural, wooded environment. During certain times of the year, seasonal insects such as beetles and stink bugs are common in the area and may occasionally enter the cabin. These insects are harmless and are a normal part of staying in a natural setting. Preventative pest-control measures are in place; however, complete elimination is not possible in this environment.



Guests will be required to complete a rental agreement, provide a valid photo ID, and submit a refundable damage deposit hold. This property welcomes up to 2 dogs with prior approval and applicable pet fee.

Most relaxing place on earth.

We spent from September 20-24 at the Lookout. The views from this 100 year old cabin are the best. Hot tub and swingbed on the back deck lets you take it all in. This was our 4th trip to this cabin and we will be back.

Peaceful

We needed a weekend getaway from the every day hustle and bustle so we returned to The Lookout. We have been SEVERAL times and each visit is as pleasant as the first. You cannot find a place in Mentone with any better view of the sunset from the hot tub than this house.

The host was friendly and informative. The cabin has a beautiful view, and it is private. The cabin does need some TLC, and the cleaning needs more attention.

The Lookout on the Brow

I Really like old structures and staying in the cabin looking at the old timbers was cool. The view is great. The back porch and front porch were great. They re-paved the road going to the cabin and that was nice. The wife really liked the cabin and wants to stay again. Cozy.

The hot tub did not work, but they were there in less than 30 minutes and fixed it. This log cabin is beautifully decorated and comes with all the authentic features that a log cabin had back in the days. Creaking and out of level floors, low ceilings and stairwell.

Thank you for your review! We’re sorry for the initial hot tub hiccup, but we’re glad we were able to get it resolved quickly so you could enjoy the rest of your stay. We also appreciate your kind words about the cabin’s décor and character. This is a true historic log cabin, and we love that its original charm—including the quirks that come with age—offers guests an authentic and unique experience you just can’t replicate in newer homes. We’re so glad you chose to stay with us!

Wonderful Cabin

This is a beautiful little cabin, set on a ridge with an excellent view of the valley below. The cabin is perfect for a couple to just relax and unwind. It is 4 miles from Mentone, but that is only a few minutes drive. And the restaurants in Mentone...delicious! But...make sure you have reservations at restaurants.
