A wonderful stay. Appreciate the "closed access". Road is in great condition, although vegetation is getting close to the road the last 1/2 mile or so. The fire ring and cooking grate are in great condition and in a spot with an amazing westward view. The outhouse is as expected (not great, not bad either). Stairs are steep, as expected. SPECTACULAR 360 degree views from up top. Condition of the inside is as expected (not great, not bad either). Propane cook top works great, a nice feature (didn't use the oven or heater). Very sturdy winch system for hoisting your gear to the top (plan accordingly for straps, carabiners, etc). This was a great stay for the two of us, we'll definitely try and get another night in the future.

Paradise. Heaven on Earth. Wish the stove worked a bit better, but other than that you won't find a better place to find yourself.

It was a great stay! The lookout was fully outfitted with cookware and the propane stove and heater (after getting the pilot light on) made the stay cozy. Beds were comfy and the views were amazing! Can’t wait to go back!

This was our first time to Yaak and it did not disappoint. Was a little nervous after the burn came through a few years before but everything is starting to grow back pretty well. The lookout is definitely one of the higher ones so if stairs are not your friend I would advise against. Beds were pretty comfortable and all windows were operational to get a nice cross breeze in the LO. Pit toilet was out of TP so bring extra rolls. Pretty good cell service. Lots of birds around the lookout as the flying ants were out. Couple groups of Grouse were not shy and would come right up to our chairs while down at the base of the LO. The road up was fantastic and the gate was at the beginning of the access road and we saw no visitors. If its hot out and you need some respite from the peak, KIlbrennan Lake Campground was only about a 30 min drive back down the lookout. There is a small parking area and a little boat launch. We set up our chairs and were able to cool off (and clean off) in the lake. Beautiful area. Love Montana! Thanks to everyone that keeps these going! Enjoy!
