We loved staying at Heybrook! The trail was great, not too long for the kids and the lookout was clean and cozy. We even got a spectacular sunset!

Great experience - beautiful views, lookout had three mattresses, not overly comfortable, but fine for a night. A great experience if you get the chance!

This tower is an absolute must see. It's hard to get a reservation but so worth it. It's almost emotional being up there while the sun sets and the stars come out. We were pleasantly surprised with how well stocked the cabin was. Even offering solar lights and phone chargers. We did encounter many hikers starting at 6 a.m but they were all respectful and did not try to open the hatch to the top level where we were staying. An absolute must see and I will be going back. It asks about cell recception, we have phone service through Xfinity which isn't a listed option. Our cell service was great, able to facetime, load videos ect.

The Heybrook Lookout is well maintained and charming. What a wonderful opportunity for adventurous travelers. A huge thank you to the US Forest Service and the other federal agencies which maintain and protect our public lands heritage.

The lookout was better than I expected!

Beautiful penthouse views with surprisingly spacious room with a queen bed and two twin mattresses. Many fun board games to enjoy as well as convenient propane stove. Highly recommend.

What fun time! Gorgeous views and the lookout is well maintained. There is a full-size bed and 2 single mattresses. There were more amenities that we thought there would be - propane burners, plates, utensils, pots, a table, a bookshelf with games and puzzle - we had a blast looking at the views, gazing at the stars and playing cards.

This was the experience of a lifetime- we hiked up in the dark and found everything easily. The view in the morning was just beyond description. Very comfortable beds, perfectly working propane stove, and the heater was much appreciated. We didn’t have early visitors because it was rainy, but definitely keep the trap door locked because somebody came up during the only 5 minute it was unlocked, and it was very weird to have them up top while eating breakfast. The toilet was actually really beautiful, but we never would have found it in the dark.

Very unique experience with amazing views. Recommend packing adequate water, 1-2 gallons per day/per person. Also know that we found this to be a very popular hiking destinations with frequent visitors respectfully enjoying balcony area directly below from 5am to 9pm.

The weather was perfect. Enjoyed the hike and was pleasantly surprised of the accommodations. The view from the lookout is breathtaking. I hope to get a reservation next year.
