Escape to a breathtaking mountain retreat for remote getaways or romantic nights in! This stunning lookout tower, inspired by National Park architecture, sits atop a granite cliff over 60 feet high, offering unparalleled views of the Cabinet Mountains, Sandpoint, and Lake Pend Oreille. Tucked away off the main cutoff to Schweitzer Mountain, this awe-inspiring structure is a must-see for anyone seeking a one-of-a-kind experience.
This cozy space offers remote relaxation while still providing all the amenities your heart desires. The Lookout Tower is 2 stories so guests must be able to use a spiral staircase or exterior wood stairs.
The Main living and dining area is located upstairs while the bedroom, bathroom complete with blackout curtains and laundry facilities are located downstairs. The walkthrough below is as if you’re entering through the front door and exiting through the second floor sliding glass door.
Did we mention adventure? Due to the steep driveway, we recommend a 4x4 or AWD in order to reach the lookout tower even with the freshly paved driveway as the main road is still gravel. You may park at the lower driveway and hike up to the home (2 minute walk) if it looks too daunting - This may also be required in the winter months depending on the snow conditions. We promise it is all worth it once you take in the views! Especially sitting in the hot tub that overlooks the valley.
The city of Sandpoint is known for trains, so you'll hear the train whistle from the valley below. You'll be surprised how quickly you become accustomed to the sound but if you're not used to it you can use the "white noise" player or earplugs in the bedroom to muffle the train whistles at night.
