We love sharing unique places to stay in Oregon. One of the most popular spots (and therefore hard to book), is a gorgeous 40-foot lookout tower located deep within the Umpqua National Forest, 10 miles outside of Tiller Oregon.
Stunning Views From 40 Feet Up
Located on 160 acres of private land, this lookout tower Airbnb is 40 feet high and accessed by four flights of stairs. It's located at Big Summit Prairie and has incredible 360 views of the prairie, forest, mountains, and beautiful sunsets.
One of the best times of year to visit is in spring in April and May when the meadow is in full bloom with wildflowers like buttercups and purple larkspur. Deer and Elk frequently graze in the meadow the tower is located in, so there's a good possibility you can wake up in the morning and watch the wildlife as you have a cup of coffee.

This modern lookout tower has a full kitchen with hot and cold running water, a propane stove and fridge. Just be sure to bring all the food you'll need with you for your stay as it's quite a drive to get to the nearest grocery store.
The tower also has a heater and lamps, an outdoor shower, comfortable beds, and lots of windows to take in the jaw-dropping views.
Guests will also enjoy the fire pit, spring-fed hot tub, vegetable garden and hammock tree on the property. The 160 acre property is great for those who want to forest bathe and explore during their stay.
