Secluded North Cascades Retreat | Private Trail + Fire Pit

Hidden among 14 private acres of forest in Marblemount, the Evergreen Cascades Lookout is a peaceful escape surrounded by the beauty of the North Cascades. The Lookout is just minutes from North Cascades National Park, and features private walking trails, a seasonal creek, stunning mountain views, and plenty of space to relax and unwind. Whether your trip includes hiking, sightseeing, or simply enjoying the mountain air, this is the perfect place to recharge.

Inside, the home offers a spacious three-level layout that works well for families, couples, or groups traveling together. The lower level includes a private studio-style suite with a king bed, full kitchen, dining area, lounge space, bathroom, and its own laundry area — ideal for guests wanting a little extra privacy or separation from the main house.

Comfortable, inviting, and surrounded by nature, the home is designed to help you slow down and enjoy everything the North Cascades has to offer.
