What Guests Are Saying
Acorn Woman Peak Lookout offers breathtaking views and a clean, rustic structure, making it a highly recommended stay. While the access road has tight turns and some rough patches, it is manageable for most vehicles. Some minor issues include wasps, foxtails for dogs, and limited ventilation, but the overall experience is peaceful and enjoyable.

We visited at the end of August. The smoke offered incredible filters on the 360 degree view from the lookout.

Would have been 5 stars if not for smoke. Book before August IMO. Pretty standard here in S. Oregon as far as smoke goes this time of year.

This 4 day/3 night adventure during 4th of July weekend was exactly what I was looking for. Squaw Lakes is a great place to spend the day swimming and soaking up the sun but it is a 40-50 minute drive even though you can see it clearly from the lookout. Worth the drive but be prepared. I did not mind at all but some of the photos online shows a bed which is no longer there so bring your gear to sleep on. I went on the Charlie Buck/Baldy Peak hike which was listed as moderate on Trails.com. I have hiked a bit in my time and would say this is above moderate just as warning. The Sunrises and Sunsets are absolutely amazing and so peaceful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
