About this property
Lookout 2 Cabin on Charleston Lake
Nestled atop a scenic hill, the Lookout 2 cabin boasts stunning panoramic views of the picturesque Charleston Lake. This charming, rustic cabin features two inviting bedrooms, thoughtfully designed to comfortably accommodate up to four guests with its two cozy beds.

Bed linens are provided. Guests will need to bring their own towels.
A portable air conditioning unit, fans, warm blankets and heaters are provided for your comfort. However, please note that this is a centuries-old seasonal cabin and extreme temperatures will be felt.
