About this property

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.

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.

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
