Two newly built, 30-ft. towers on 55 forested acres in Wallace, roughly 50 miles east of Coeur d’Alene. Each is topped by a window-walled studio with a wood stove for heat, a skylight for stargazing, and an outdoor walkway that rings the off-grid treehouse.

An Off-Grid Escape into the Wild
Welcome to Moonpass Lookouts—a place that redefines the idea of retreat. This is not a traditional resort; there is no front desk, no formal service, and no barriers between you and the natural world. Instead, it offers something far rarer: complete immersion in the wilderness.
Where Simplicity Becomes Luxury
Here, modern distractions fall away. There is no Wi-Fi, no cell service—only the glow of a fire, the depth of true silence, and the quiet presence of the forest. Even arrival is an experience, with luggage lifted by pulley, setting the tone for a stay that invites participation rather than passivity.
A Return to the Essentials
At Moonpass, daily rituals take on new meaning. Lighting a fire, heating water, climbing stairs, and carrying provisions become grounding acts—reminders of a slower, more intentional way of living. It is a place that reconnects you with both nature and yourself.
Elevated Living Among the Trees
The lookout towers rise 30 feet above the forest floor, offering a unique perspective on the surrounding landscape. From this vantage point, guests are invited to pause and observe—the shifting light at dusk, the scent of pine, the stillness that settles after dark.
Quiet Comfort, Thoughtfully Designed
Each tower pairs rustic simplicity with considered comfort, featuring a private wood-fired sauna and a dry-flush toilet at ground level. The experience is intentionally pared back, yet deeply rewarding—an elegant balance between raw nature and essential ease.
Space to Breathe
Moonpass Lookouts is not about escape in the conventional sense, but about presence. It is a place where time slows, senses awaken, and the natural world takes centre stage—offering the rare luxury of space, stillness, and clarity.
