If you would like a cleaning during your stay, our housekeeping staff may be able to accommodate your request for a fee.

What's changed about Point Lookout?Point Lookout was previously run as a resort. Now, the cabins are being offered as vacation rentals - much like what you would find on Airbnb or HomeAway. You book a cabin and pick the dates and the place is all yours during that time. The vacation rentals are available year-round. The summit, bowling alley and the copper pine are no longer available. Sadly, the beach is now owned by the city and has not been available to guests for some time due to construction and other updates.
