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 view was really great! We love the chairs on the deck! The cabin was cozy, quiet and very relaxing! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Beautiful views from the deck. The hot tub was wonderful after a day of hiking. Cozy and comfortable. Nice weekend getaway
This cabin was just what we needed for a few days of relaxation! The view was stunning - we loved hanging out on the back porch in the evenings. We’d love to come back!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The cabin was cozy, but the pictures were slightly deceiving on size of cabin. All in all, we enjoyed the peacefulness, view and not having anyone right next door. Some jack leg decided he was going to fire his weapon for about two hours on Saturday night so that killed the serenity of the hot tub. Not your fault at all, but it was frustrating. Thank you for allowing us to use your place.

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.

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.
Quaint, cozy, and lovely cabin with modern conveniences. We had everything we needed! The deck and views were amazing! We enjoyed our stay-so peaceful and relaxing!
This is out third time to stay at The Lookout and will not be the last. The cozy cabin is perfect for two. We love the views and never miss watching the sunset from the back deck. We will be back again.

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
