I do recommend showing up in the day light. We came in at night. Luckily we had screen shots of all the directions and instructions before we lost service. The detailed directions were spot on and very nice. ##### Jake K.

The property definitely needs a 4WD to get to as specified on the listing. Place was clean and everything needed is there. The location is fantastic for viewing stars and the night sky. I would recommend and would stay again for watching stars. ##### Michael L.

Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher R. 2 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful experience We were fortunate enough to find this property. We thoroughly were able to relax and unwind. We saw elk and other wildlife. It is an extremely quiet place. The cabin is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. Communicating with Erin, the hostess, was easy and she was always available for questions etc. We would highly recommend this property. Please do take the suggestions from Erin seriously. Especially for AWD or 4WD. It would be very difficult to reach the property without the proper vehicle. Erin was an absolutely amazing person to deal with. We hope to come again. Thank you Erin!! ##### Christopher R. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### cheryl m. 18 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Top of The Rock at the Top of My List Property was beautiful as well as the view. Very cabin like feel, like being in another peaceful world. The cows in the woods and sometimes on the road were hysterical. I took so many pictures of them. There really aren't any negatives except the driveway to the house. However, it was clearly stated in the listing that it was steep and 4 wheel drive was necessary. We had no difficulty navigating it with our Sequoia. ##### cheryl m. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### OUTSTANDING and Worth The Drive! Staying at the top of the rock was an awesome experience! Erin was an amazing host and very helpful with any questions throughout our 3 day stay. The hosts had great recommendations to some restaurants when we didn’t want to cook and suggestions to local places to check out, too. The cabin and area were incredibly clean, modern and tranquil! The cabin had all the comforts of our home (appliances, internet, TV to watch Netflix, etc.), without the heat, noise, etc. of the Phoenix metro. Most of all, the sunrise was an amazing site raising up in front of the cabin and clear dark skies made for great star gazing. Perfect place to have a retreat, write a book, relax or explore. Multiple trails to check out and several nearby places to hike. We would HIGHLY recommend this cabin to others for getting away and recharging with nature. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nirmal 28 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Nirmal Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Pismo Lighthouse Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Pismo-Lighthouse-Suites.h10966.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Canyon Western Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meadview-Hotels-Grand-Canyon-Western-Ranch.h2592457.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
