Webb Mtn. Lookout Rental

Perched at an elevation of 5,983 feet, the Webb Mountain Lookout offers a truly unique lodging experience within the Kootenai National Forest. Originally constructed in 1959, this historic fire lookout served as a vital observation point for over four decades. Today, it provides visitors with a rare opportunity to stay in a structure that encompasses 196 square feet of rustic, elevated living, surrounded by the breathtaking rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains.

The lookout is accessible by car, though travelers should be prepared for the final quarter-mile of the access road, which is steep and rocky; high-clearance vehicles are strongly recommended. While the site provides a primitive experience with no hookups, guests can enjoy the simplicity of the outdoors with on-site amenities including fire rings and accessible firewood. The immediate area features diverse hiking trails, making it an ideal destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the quiet solitude of the forest.

This site is best suited for adventurous individuals or small groups who appreciate a rustic, off-the-grid lifestyle. Whether you are looking to disconnect from the modern world or explore the high-altitude terrain of Montana, this USFS-managed lookout provides an unforgettable basecamp for your mountain adventures.
