Tower was very taken care of very clean but problems with the heater and it got chilly at night so beware, we couldn't keep the pilot light on. I think it needs to be replaced but other than that it was a great adventure you won’t regret!

The gate had to be left open due to logging in the area. Forest service crew was there when we arrived. They were looking for fires and had no idea that it was a rental. The logging trucks drive so fast down the hill we were almost plowed into by one semi had to back down the mt a ways. Then a logging company pickup that almost hit us as well flying down the mountain. Would have been nice to know that was going on in the area. Loud at 6am when they started logging. It was mostly bare of trees due to the fire that went through and over grown with brush. I am sure the views are better with no smoke but couldn't see much. Probably won't do this one again for a few years while some trees grow back. Did have a great time away from the world.

It’s hard not to compare to pre-2021 when a fire swept through but it looks so different there! The cabin is a bit run down and I’ve mentioned this before but the catwalk trapdoor is dangerously heavy. I could not close it by myself upon departure. Definitely could use more windows that open - only three can be cranked for screens. Propane stove worked great though - hot coffee!

10/10 experience! Clean lookout, great views, well-maintained road getting to the lookout, and about 33 minutes from the town of Troy. It was nice having the locked gate at the bottom of the mountain ensuring privacy. I wish more lookouts did that! While we were there, we traveled to the Ross Creek Cedars and had lunch at the Halfway Bar (you drive by it to get to the Cedars) highly recommend both! This is my 3rd lookout of the summer, and I have zero complaints. Verizon and AT&T both had good service.
