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 provides remote relaxation while still providing all the amenities your heart may desire. 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 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 two-person 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.

    What a great little escape. My husband and I snuck away from the kids and this was just what we needed. A quiet relaxing little place. I appreciate them allowing for a very impromptu early check in. House is very tastefully decorated. Everything was in great shape and clean. Thank you for letting us enjoy your place!

    Perfect for 2! Great escape for a romantic or connecting time away from the hustle and bustle. If you can, bring your water toys (SUPs, floaties, etc) as there is water everywhere! Thimbleberries were also on almost all of the trails, and wife ate herself sick ;)Property had everything we needed and a little more. Hosts were great at responding and even provided recommendations for the area.Thanks again!

    This property is one of a kind! The views are just stunning and the inside of the tower was awesome as well. We wished we would have stayed there longer! A property, A communication, and A experience.

    My partner and our dog stayed in this cozy little lookout. The property was surprisingly big and remote, driving up to the unit was such a surreal experience, the living space was very cozy, the kitchen had very modern appliances, the bathroom was very nice and the shower was pretty insane, the deck that surrounded the exterior overlooked the incredibly beautiful views of the mountains off in the distance which provided us an amazing sunrise, and the hot tub was very warm. We'll defiantly make our way back to this property in the future.

    My wife and I stayed here for a ski trip to Schweitzer. The lookout tower was a unique experience that we truly enjoyed. The tower is just big enough to have everything the 2 of us needed, and is very cozy.Close enough to Sandpoint for groceries / dinner. Only 20 minutes from Schweitzer, and even We had a full size AWD car rental, and I would not want to have anything less. The driveway to the tower is steep, but well maintained. The roads in the neighborhood and to Schweitzer are also well maintained, but winter mountain conditions exist.

    Property was super clean and had everything that we needed to be able to enjoy our stay. Perfect location to get to town or Schweitzer, but also tucked in the trees so you felt like you were away from it all.

    We had a few small issues with the property but they were quick to be resolved and the property was truly incredible. Great location between the mountain and town. If we go back to Sandpoint we have accommodations covered.

    Right when I walked in I could tell the thought and care that had been put into this property. It was spotless and had everything we needed! It was the perfect spot to celebrate our anniversary. The views were incredible and the hot tub was the extra icing on the cake.

    My husband and I stayed at Lookout Tower for the weekend. We loved the area. The road up had some tight turns but nothing we couldn't manage. We noticed the train noises while watching TV but they didn't wake us up at night. It was a very pleasant stay.

    We had such a great stay in at the lookout tower. You can tell the owners/management really care about making your stay perfect. I was a little nervous when I booked the lookout tower because my husband and I are both tall (5’9 and 6’6). The unit is small but very space effective so it doesn’t feel cramped. This really is a great property and was perfect for our quick getaway to sandpoint!
