Good for the price
After reading the reviews in this property, I was very prepared for what I was walking into. Great location, cute and cabiny, some amenities missing or items broken. Would’ve loved to show up to enough toilet paper for the first few nights and maybe a roll of paper towel. The deck was extremely dirty, screen over the sliding door is so broken it doesn’t keep bugs out, hot tub was a bit dirty and missing it’s filter.
Still - considering the fair price and cute cabin, we did enjoy our stay.
Would not recommend for more than 8 or 10 adults comfortably.

Many, many, many stairs!!!
Positives:
-The owner was excellent with communication
-The 3 queen beds were comfortable
-The house was clean
-The view was fantastic
-The hot tub was clean and large
-The BBQ is newer (never used it)
-Internet was good
Negatives:
-Appliances need updating; lower level oven was unusable. Upper level fridge is freezing items at the back, despite adjusting. Upper level freezer is repaired with duct tape. Many repairs throughout with duct tape actually.
-No dishwasher
-All screens on windows need replacing; big gaps in the half screens, lots of crawly visitors
-Screens needed on slider deck doors; the tatters hanging in their place are not sufficient. Again, an open invite for creepy crawlers and flying ones
-Several of the deck chairs are threadbare and it's a roll of the dice before someone breaks through
-Several of the dining chairs are really filthy and quite wobbly; again, just a matter of time before one breaks
-The sleeping cubbies in the lower level could use proper bunk bed type ladders, the one step stool was actually too short for most people to easily get up and it was not in good condition
-The suction port at the bottom of the hot tub is missing a screen. We let the owner know as it is a safety issue for anyone with long hair going below the surface. Ex. Young girl retrieving a toy
-Lastly, there are over 50 stairs to climb, (not including the spiral staircase to the upper level bedrooms) not recommended for
small children, people with breathing issues or mobility issues
Summary
The property is for sale, so I suspect none of the updating that so desperately needs to happen will not be done. Not all bad, overall for a younger group it would suffice

Beautiful location. Loads of space.
The beach was beautiful and the view from the deck is amazing. All in all we had a great stay. The lookout had everything we needed, including space enough for 8 adults. It is true the place is a dated and worn, but it is very affordable for the size and location, comes stocked with everything you need, and has a cottage vibe that invites you you kick back and not worry about a thing! My only warning would be theres tons of stairs and you must watch your step on them at all times as they are old and some are uneven. I wouldn't recommend bringing anyone elderly or unfit. Also a surprise was we had to packout our own garbage, but it was a very easy process with the garbage station being on the way out of the area. Scott, the person I was in contact for the rental with was very attentive and friendly. Thanks again Scott!

Okay
We arrived to walk up all stairs to third floor to find that the code lock does not work. One of the stairs to second level door is not the same height as others so a tripping hazard. Very top landing is being held up by a 2x4. We did not use this entrance. Some wood bars were missing on second level railing making a hole big enough for small children to fit through. We barricaded with the safety gate that was their. BBQ was not cleaned in a very long time. We had flames coming out of BBQ on the first night high enough that we had to turn off BBQ and move away from deck railing. Inside of BBQ was not cleaned and the drip tray was filled and overflowing. Had to scrub clean once cooled off. The BBQ brush was old and worn. Could not use it to clean BBQ. The furniture is very worn and frayed. Some furniture was broken and not useable. Never found the bunk beds that were listed. When we booked a year ago the listing said sleeps 14. This year it said sleeps 12. Owner assured us it would be fine. We had 9 adults and 4 children. It did not sleep 9 adults. 6 adults would be good and 6 children. This location is not very good for small children nor older people due to the stairs. Two flights just to get to the lower level of house. One of the fans that was provided was broken. The house does not have air conditioning so the fans are important when it is very hot. There is a smell in the downstairs bedroom closet that we could not identify. Kept closet closed.
We made it work. We let the owner know of issues and were offered an extra night free that we sadly could not take. He also asked for a list of broken items. Hopefully these items will be fixed before the next renter.
The beach was lovely. We had great weather and spent most of our time by or on the water. Numbering the buoy for the boats might be helpful as we tied up to the wrong one. The owner of that buoy was not there that weekend though. The neighbours are very friendly and helpful as well.
The local market and grocery store had what we needed. There was a playground just up the street. But be careful walking as there is no sidewalk and nobody seems to drive slowly even with all the signs advising of children in area.
The wildlife was very nice, eagles, fling squirrels, bats, dear (a doe and two fawns), salamander and ducks. All in all it was a good vacation just needs a bit of upkeep done on property.

Not as advertised
So disappointing and frustrating. The description of the property was not accurate and I don’t know when the pictures provided were last taken, certainly not in recent years. Maintenance and cleanliness are obviously not priorities. We felt we had to wash dishes and towels before using. Caulking in bathrooms was disgusting. Some cupboards were nailed shut and others dirty inside. One of the toilets had a do not use do to leak sign. Decks obviously had not been cleaned in a long long time. The home smelled like smokers lived there and they tried to cover up with febreeze. When I contacted the owner and voiced our frustration his response was “Disappointing that you do not find the Lookout to your standards”. Really? I am sure having a clean and maintained property would be a minimal expectation of anyone. When I asked about possibly getting some money back he stopped responding to me. Later in our stay we also noticed that the posts that provide structural support to the upper landing have become completely detached from the porch itself. I could go on about several other things as well. We left a day early and will never return. Horrible just horrible.

Gem of a chateau on the lake!
I celebrated my birthday here with a big group of friends, we had a blast. Despite pretty constant rain we had a blast. Yes the cabin is old and not impeccable, but I believe that is reflected in the relative and fair price point. As such I think if you keep the expectations realistic it's a fantastic spot. The lake is right across the road and serene (perfect for a SUP), the shower is warm and the hot tub is fantastic with a view of the lake. I recommend heating the hot tub as soon as you arrive; we got in late and had to wait for it to warm up overnight. Will rent again!

this is a very comfortable home.
We totally enjoyed our stay. The two separate units gave us privacy from each other. We used the hot tub everyday. The view is gorgeous. The front right burner on the stove is hard to understand as the knob does not function properly. Overall, the house was very clean and well equipped. We would definitely stay here again.

I wasn't expecting much, so it was as how I expected. A lot more stairs then I pictured though.
For what we payed, I would have liked things better. It was hard to find pots with lids, we had to go buy garbage bags and toilet paper. No room to store food. The hot water tank is electric, so took along time to wait for warm water after a few showered. The house was very clean.

View and decks are amazing!
The views and decks at the lookout are amazing and Scotty is very easy to deal with, always replies quickly. The home is rustic and spacious and great full dogs are permitted. The new BBQ on the deck made cooking simple. I would have given a 5 star rating if the lower living area carpet and pullout couch were replaced and a set of complete dishes, utensils and BBQ tools were supplied. There are dishes and kitchen utensils but mixed and matched and some should be tossed, this gives it the 3 star feeling as opposed to the 5 star experience.

Overall great stay
We stayed at the lookout for 5 nights in the end of July 2018. The location is great and the place worked very well for us.
The good
-Scott was very accommodating with any issues, and was always quick to respond.
-The views are fantastic.
-The home had everything needed.
-Location! boat launch, stores and dock so close by meant we didn't have the need to drive anywhere.
The not quite good
-This is an older home with need of some updates. Definitely a rental home as it isn't in tip top shape. Not a problem, but the only thing keeping it from being 5 stars.
Overall we were very pleased. We were expecting rustic so this fit what we were looking for. We would definitely consider staying again.
Thanks Scotty

Private, relaxing and spacious with beautiful views of the lake and mountains.
The home has everything you'll need for a peaceful and fun time. Wake up each morning and look out the kitchen window or wander onto one of the massive decks and take in the fresh air, watch the deer pass by, and look out at the lake and the mountains right before you.
Scotty Henderson, the owner, was very accessible, warm and friendly and immediately, and enthusiastically responded to any questions I had.
The space itself is two separate suites with full kitchens and bathrooms. comfy beds and lots of places to sit and relax and / or connect with friends and family.
The private hot tub is large and the view from the hot tub is fantastic.
The private beach is directly across the road - literally just a few feet away - and there are water toys as part of your rental and a boat launch just down the way on the resort property.
There are many excellent hiking trails nearby and the home is a 7 minute drive from Scotch Creek & Shuswap lake park and from grocery stores, pharmacy, and local cafes, and just a few minutes walk to the town of Celista and a little corner store that has pretty much everything including liquor store, hardware store, and access to information on local events and daytrips for ziplining and rafting, snowmobiling and more.
My dogs love the house and the surrounding trails and beach and give the home 4 paws up!
I enjoyed my stay immensely and would most definitely return again.

Always a Great Stay at Henderson Lookout
Our family and a few friends enjoyed a great stay this past August at the Lookout. This isn't our first visit to this rustic and homey Chalet as we have stayed during the winter as well. We love the location, incredible views and the separate suites for privacy. We appreciate that our fur baby is also welcome here. The stairs are definitely a workout, but well worth the effort. Relaxing in the hot tub with a coffee, taking in the morning sunrise is a great start to our day in the Shu. The road is busy in front of the house; keep an eye on any children and pets. However, they do provide baby gates to prevent them from taking off. The beach this past visit was incredible and it helped that the weather was AMAZING! We love that we can bring our food and cook all together, each person bringing their delicious creations to the table. It is also helpful there is a grocery store/liquor store so close by if we forgot anything. Definitely, a great place to get together with family and friends; plus Scott is very easy to work with!!!! Thank you for sharing you house with us!
