Fall Mountain Lookout Cabin

Nice quiet fire lookout. My son and I truly enjoyed staying here. We did see lightening storms in the distance the first night and experienced them the second night. Still a very quiet place and not far off the beaten path. Road to lookout was in great shape (May 2023). Would like to snag a fire lookout again if luck is with me.

We loved the lookout! The views and accommodations are unbeatable.
We were thankful to have a stove to cook on and heat. Although the heater barley kept up with the cold Oct. Temps (our fault for going in oct.) and when we turned the oven on it reeked the place out with the smell of mouse pee! There is a mouse in the lookout and he has made a home under the stove. The stove top burners were enough to cook our dinner and thankfully there was a microwave.
Over all great experience and would do it again. Word to the next. Bring a mouse trap!!!

Fall Mt. was great! The facility was in good shape and the instructions were clear. My one suggestion is to get rid of the pillows and bedding. I assume they are NEVER washed and become pretty nasty over time.

Beautiful views!! Great amenities! Easy to navigate to with the directions on the site! We made it all the way up no problem in our HYUNDAI Tucson we parked almost under the tower. If you don’t like heights this tower might not be for you but definitely worth facing your fears! Weekends are busy with visitors so keep that in mind if you are looking for complete isolation.

Oven, stove, lights, and heating all in working order. Fridge was kind of lukewarm, just used our cooler instead.

Rats! I left a dish of macaroni and cheese in the fridge! Sorry! Otherwise, everything was wonderful!

The cabin was clean and comfortable. We didn't sleep on the futon... a bit paranoid these days. Another state park we stayed at had a plastic covered mattress that you could sanitize and that was more inviting. Also the futon was broken so you couldn't sit it up into the couch position. Other than that it was lovely and we will be back!

A beautiful location that I can’t wait to come back to

This was my first time staying in a Fire Tower and it was the most amazing experience! I stayed close to the tower for all four days because the skies, weather and life around me were always changing. I didn't want to break the spell by getting in my car or going anywhere else. Thank you Park Service for offering this opportunity. If we are just "still" and observant wonderful things happen!

Great views, amenities, comfy futon. Great service. Was able to make it up there in my four door sedan. Wouldn’t try in a 2 door car/ low rider. Everything seemed well kept. My fiancé did end up getting a tick though so beware of that. We had all the windows closed at night and woke up to 5 flies buzzing around the lookout. Sunset and sunrise here was stunning! Overall great trip.
