The hike was a bit of a challenge for a middle aged out of hiking shape couple, but so worth the effort to get up there. The views where spectacular, the wildflowers smelled amazing. Witnessed the best sunset I've seen in my life while enjoying dinner. We could not have had a better time.
This place is unbelievable!!! Steve the host was available when we needed him. He pre-warned me about the intense hike up to the property being older I was a bit nervous Iâm not going to lie it was pretty intense for me so it took a little longer than it may for most. BUT I did it and it was so beyond worth it. The views and solitude was beyond my imagination. The property is clean everything we may have needed was there. The jet boil was a total bonus. Thanks for supplying that Steve. Having coffee watching the sun rise and having a glass of wine while watching the sunset while listening to Mother Nature was exactly what we needed. If anyone is needing an amazing getaway at a really good price I highly recommend this property. I will never forget my time here. Oh and my boyfriend found the gio cache box so fun!!!
Great cabin experience. Steep hike in (took us about 2hrs and10 minutes since we are not avid hikers). Excellent views. Cabin was comfortable. We appreciated that there was electricity from the solar panel. I wish there were directions on changing the toilet bag but I think we figured it out. Would have been fun if there was a guest book and more games. We were looking for a place to get away for two days and not see any people. Mission accomplished.
this is a one of a kind stay in every way. the hike up is hard but such a killer experience pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. once you get to redemption rock tower you almost want to cry because itâs so beautiful. the space was clean and easy to operate. will definitely be back and boasting about this stay for awhile. thank you Steve!
Great place! Owner is awesome and friendly, helped us with directions, hike itself was fun, especially in the snow, about 3 feet toward the top! Tower was clean, plenty of wood and water as well as a speaker and other little things to make the stay enjoyable! Will be coming back!
was an amazing experience⊠my son not much of a hiker was the one who pushed me to finish! an woke up to a white christmas so it was even that much more worth it! an a memory that we will never forget!
What a cool place to stay! Amazing views and sunset you canât miss.
The parking spot was a bit overgrown so make sure to look for the signs behind the weeds, also do not use the VRBO open maps option on the app to get here, either follow the hosts directions or put the actual address in your maps. The trail off the gravel road is about 3/4 of a mile from the parking spot. There is more shade once you are off the gravel road. The tower is awesome, and with all the windows letting in a breeze it cooled down pretty quickly. There is a well loved jetboil and a kettle for the stove, as well as a grill. The toilet works well, but there are no posted instructions on how to change the cartridge if needed. Also, you have to bring your own trash down, something to really keep in mind if you hike up. Overall great place to stay.
The tower is a clean, well-built, relaxing place to stay with full 360 views of Idaho and Washington!
The solar power built into the tower was strong enough for our small, 600-watt coffee pot to work.
The windows have screens so no bugs can get in.
We enjoyed the chairs on the porch to take in the stunning sunsets!
We had a great time staying at the lookout tower! Previous reviews made it sound like the road was not even maintained enough for a side by side, but this was not true. We chose to hike in mostly based on these reviews. The hike is definitely straight up! Worth the views! Not much to do other than view from the tower or take the short hike to Redemption Rock, so one night was sufficient. If we return in the future it would be fun to bring a side by side and take a better meal to bbq. We highly appreciated water being supplied since we hiked in. The tower was clean overall, but wish people would leave it cleaner than they found it. There was a bit of dog hair and someone had left foil in the wood stove. Overall a beautiful property and neighborhood and beautiful views. We had a wonderful experience. The path from the "tower parking" sign is a little unclear, but after you find the main trailhead further up the gravel road marked "tower" there are plenty of signs.
We had an amazing night at Redemption Rock Tower. The hike is strenuous. But, the view and accommodation are absolutely worth it. The only hiccup we had was attempting to book the property on another site instead of VRBO. But, the property manager worked with us to resolve the problem. Highly recommend this beautiful getaway!
We had the best time at your tower ! Super clean , amenities available we werenât expecting. We drove up in our side by side and it was just so much fun start to finish !
Great location , awesome views and an experience you wonât forget
Perfect for a weekend getaway, in a beautiful area and the view is wonderful! Peacful and relaxing. There is a hammock and sime games to play.
Its definitely a 3 mile hike in but its straight up and down! Very steep in spots. Be prepared to at least have a hour and a half hike in.
We had a razor so it wasnt so bad. But if you are hiking with more than a few things it could be tricky. The owner is great at responding and keeping in touch.
But overall we loved it and its clean! Would definitely go again!
We had a wonderful time taking in the views from the tower and watching the birds play in the wind gusts, we were up in the sky with them. I can't imagine doing this hike, we rode in on a side by side with our dog. It took us two trips to get our very minimal supplies up there. Parts of the trail are very steep and even the side by side had trouble getting grip. Just as the other reviews say, this is a very advanced hike and you would need lots of water to drink on the way up. My only regret was that we really only needed one night to enjoy this place and I had booked two nights. So the second day was long and could be boring for some but we liked relaxing, sleeping, and reading. Also it's not very obvious whether there is power or lights. There is both, provided mostly by solar means to battery packs and then there is a power converter in the main part of the cabin to charge phones and the like.
This was our second time at the tower. We stayed over 4th of July. Amazing views for days. We hiked up to redemption rock and the view was spectacular.
This was a great stay! Weâre so glad the little fireplace was there - it kept the place very warm! Lots of games and just a great spot to be! It was a little unclear of how to get to the trail form where we parked but we followed the road and figured it out! Would highly recommend staying here for a fun adventurous trip!
