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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

2nd time staying this year

This was our second time staying in this cabin this year. This time was for our 23rd anniversary. Love the bed swing on the back balcony and the two large chairs to see the spectacular view. Of course the hot tub is relaxing as well. We loved our stay both times we visited. We will definitely be back.
