I enjoyed my stay. The views are exceptional at Hornet. The woodstove is a little smokey, bring your own mouse traps and bring a sheet of plastic to cover your stuff if it rains. In spite of the afore mentioned issues, I look forward to staying at Hornet again.

I finally got a reservation for Hornet and it was everything I had hoped for. What a beautiful drive and easy hike up! The lookout was clean, well stocked and the views were epic. The resident Collared mule deer made sure we felt welcome. While there were a couple of broken windows and the wood stove had a note saying it wasn't working, we saw all of the materials prepped there for upcoming restoration. And those items didn't affect our stay one bit. This lookout is such a gem. Stunning sunrise, sunset, and view forever in between. The cots were actually extremely comfortable as well!
