Very clean, well maintained lookout. Three extra cots in addition to single mattress.

Beautiful lookout, my second time there. The forest service has done a great job keeping it up. Didnt get to see much of the view this time due to wild fires. Only complaint is all the people that show up. Second time I have had to clean up after others. Not sure if I will rent it again, no privacy.

Amazing views. Almost never dark, I can see why it's called big sky county up there. Did the hike at the gate, worth it for the views. It was snowed in at the top of the trail but fun to play on during the hottest week of the year. Bring big spray.

Stunning! First time staying in a fire lookout and I knew from the pictures online it was going to be beautiful but in person it far exceeded my expectations.

A wonderful experience! So relaxing and the views are unbelievable. The Forest Service has added posts to the side of the gate to prevent cars from driving around. I was able to sleep comfortably without the heat on. Heads up, the lock is a little sticky!

Amazing views and a wonderful time of self reflection.

What a special place the UP UP is! If you have a fear of heights, I would not recommend.

This was our third lookout tower experience and it was great! We saw Elk and Moose and even a Black Bear right at the base of the tower, He was flipping rocks over and eating the bugs. We watched a storm approaching over the mountains that enveloped the tower, rattled the dishes, then moved off into the sunset! It was thrilling. The rock steps to the tower are pretty uneven so we were happy we brought a toilet bucket with us for night time. The cab is nice and tidy and just right for two people. We hiked over to Gold Peak and got some cool photos of the tower from 5 miles away.
