Top of the Rock

We were seeking snow to show our grandchildren but found breathtakingly beautiful views instead! Top of the Rock is a fabulous & peaceful getaway with unbelievable mountain views! Our communication with the owner was outstanding & made our stay all the more pleasant. We would give a 10 star review if possible.

Great place

Erin's place was nice and she's very responsive. 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.

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.

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.
