Welcome to The Lookout, a private off-grid cabin

Minutes from Porcupine Dam, this contemporary cabin has all the amenities needed to enjoy the peace and beauty of Cache Valley. Perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, friends, and small families. Bring your mountain bikes, kayaks, snow shoes and explore the great outdoors. Or head into Logan less than 30 minutes away for famous Aggie Ice Cream, a USU football game, hot springs, or ski the Beav. Celebrating a special occasion? Let us make it memorable. We love to help with special requests.
The space
Enjoy stunning views from the deck that wraps completely around the cabin. Heat up the BBQ and watch for wildlife as you dine on the outdoor patio set.

NEW to The Lookout is a propane firepit and a large outdoor shower for two. (open seasonally)

Inside, picture windows look out from the large open kitchen and living room. The kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of counterspace for cooking and a large island for dining. The living room has a beautiful fireplace, TV and reading corner. Be sure to check out the books, games, and record player.

In the master you will find a sleep number California king bed and a sliding door that opens to the deck. The second bedroom has a double bed. There is a portable infant playpen in the closet. Both bedrooms open to a shared walk-in closet with Washer/Dryer and a full bath. Requests can be made for a futon to be added to the living room.

Inside the smaller second bedroom, open the double doors to find a workspace with desk, lamp, and chair.

An additional half bath is just off the living room by the second bedroom.

Guest access
Please note Winter restrictions below.

Put the address in your GPS and it will bring you right to the cabin. You will see a green post with the address marking the driveway.
The road is paved all the way to the cabin, but GPS may show options for paved and dirt roads. Travel time is the same. If you aren't sure which way to go, just message the host.

The garage is not open to guests. Please park anywhere on the gravel driveway. Two cars can park at the front door and still have room to turn around.

The private driveway is gravel with a sharp turn off of a paved county road. Please be careful pulling in and out as visibility of oncoming traffic is poor. 4 wheel drive is not required to get up the driveway.

In Winter:
The season is unpredictable and we do get a lot of snow here. The driveway may not be accessible or safe to access from November to April. If that is the case, we will clear room to park one vehicle at the bottom of the driveway, and you will need to walk 0.25 miles to the cabin. Please be prepared with winter clothing for a little adventure. We will provide snow shoes and a toboggan or wagon if needed.
It is lovely to be snowed in at The Lookout. Mix some hot chocolate on the Keurig, choose a record to listen to, flip on the fireplace, and watch the snow fall while you relax.

Other things to note:
The Lookout is completely off grid. We have solar panels, batteries, and a generator for power. Water comes from an underground well, and we have propane.

We do ask that you try to conserve power. No one wants to run out on their vacation! For the most part, everything can be used as normal. But we don't recommend using too much at once, for example, running the TV, AC, Microwave, and hair dryer at the same time.
If you have any issues with the power please message the host and we will resolve it immediately without disturbing you.

If you need kayaks, life vests, mountain bikes, or skis, etc we can help you rent these items.
During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cabin.
  • Air-conditioned cabin with kitchen, washing machine, and 2.5 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Steps from Wasatch-Cache National Forest and 13 minutes by car from Paradise North Park
This cabin offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

This cabin is smoke free.

Secluded, Private Retreat with Incredible Views
The Lookout was the ideal accommodation for my solo retreat in June and my first visit to northern Utah. Nestled in the woods, yet with incredible views, the upscale and modern cabin is nicely appointed, clean, and conveniently located. I highly recommend and would happily stay at The Lookout again.

Amazing Stay!!’
Can’t say enough about the Lookout! Absolutely beautiful views and amazingly clean! The cabin is very beautifully finished and well stocked with blankets, cookware, sheets, and goodies. The cabin location feels super remote but you are 15-30 minutes away from anything you need. My only complaint is I did not book a longer stay! I will definitely be staying here again.

Just what we were looking for.
We were looking to get away from the loud, busy world. The Lookout was everything we needed: quite, peaceful, full of solitude, beautiful views, compfortable interior of the cabin. The off grid features were never an issue.

Amazing location and property
We stayed for 5 nights at this terrific house, I had business in Logan, and my family came with me to sightsee. The view was absolutely breathtaking, the house was very spacious for the 3 of us, and perfectly clean. We will definitely be back if work brings me back out to Utah again.
