The Lookout: A Romantic Boho Getaway • A/C - Pet Friendly!

The Lookout is centrally located in the Stanislaus National Forest tucked away under the shady cedars of Long Barn, Ca. The Bohemian-Inspired space is perfect for couples or solo travelers looking for a comfortable place to relax and unwind after a day of adventure. Perfect home base to explore state parks, multiple lakes, rivers and countless hiking trails in the area. Pinecrest Lake, Dodge Ridge Ski Resort, Black Oak Casino and the charming city of Twain Harte are all within 15 miles. Romantic couples getaway awaits! We are one of few cabins that offer AIR CONDITIONING! Completely renovated in 2021. 600 ft.² accommodations include a one-bedroom with a queen-size bed and a loft with a full-size bed. Please keep in mind to get into the loft area there are steep spiral stairs and low ceiling in loft area. Freshly washed towels and hand towels are provided in the bathroom upon each guest's arrival. The bathroom has a corner shower with a dispenser for shampoo, condition, and body soap for guests to utilize. Stainless steel appliances and a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals. A magic bullet for blending smoothies, or better yet… MARGARITAS, toaster, and waffle maker are available for guests. Large covered deck with outdoor seating. Propane BBQ for grilling and bistro lights on timer throughout the property for ambiance. The cabin is located across the street from the historical Long Barn Ice Skating Rink.

Do you have more than 4 guests? The Lookout shares the grounds with “The Hideout” its sister property right next door. They are identical cabins that are perfect for two couples or two small families to enjoy a vacation together but also have their own time to connect.

PET POLICY
Dogs must be approved. No cats
Small breeds only under 30 lbs. $20.00 pet fee per night / per dog. 2 dogs max. If your pet is approved please follow our pet rules:
1.) Please no pets on furniture.
2.) Dogs must be leashed at all times outside Cabin.
3.) Dogs can not be left unattended at the cabin.
4.) Please have your dog potty in the front or the side of the cabin. The land behind our property is not ours. It belongs to a neighbor that has asked us not to have dogs on their land. Please be respectful and pick up all poopoo.
5.) If we receive barking complaints from neighbors, we will kindly inform you so that you can be mindful of the noise.

Please note that there may be dogs on the grounds during your stay.

WI-FI
We feel fortunate that we are one of the few cabins that can get a line of sight through the trees for satellite Internet service. Satellite Internet is not high speed. Streaming is not supported. Weather can affect connectivity. WiFi is included with your reservation.

BBQ
We do provide a propane barbecue located on the deck. Keep in mind that we do not maintain the propane. If you are inclined to do so, you can have the tank exchanged at the Cold Springs Market or Twain Harte market. Please send us the receipt and we will gladly reimburse you.

WINTER TRAVEL
-If your stay is canceled due to severe weather or if the cabin is not accessible due to heavy snow, we will notify you 24 hours before check-in to reschedule your stay or issue you a refund.
-Fortunately, Long Barn can get a lot of snow in the winter. This is amazing for skiing and snowboarding, but it is in your best interest to have a plan in the event of a storm. The county plows all of the roads, including neighborhood roads when it snows, but they only come around a few times a day. We also pay to have our driveway cleared before your arrival. Be mindful of the road conditions and plan your vehicle choice accordingly. We highly recommend that you carry chains and/or have 4 wheel drive.
-If you are traveling during active snowfall, you might be required to shovel to access the cabin.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a dining table.
