Thoroughly enjoyed staying in this 120 year old house. I even caught a clear sunrise and sunset the 2 days I was there, beautiful.The owner was onsite and it was a pleasure speaking to her when I checked in, but honestly did not see her after that (unless I needed something).

It was a pleasure to see the inside of a house we’ve long admired and to feel the history of five generations of ownership. There is not a better view available on Mt Nebo, one of my favorite places on Earth. The house though 120 years old was warm and comfy once we got the heaters going. Deborah was quick to respond to questions and made us feel very welcome!

Excellent View

This is the perfect spot to view sunrises and sunsets from the top of Mount Nebo. The house is over 100 years old but it's quite interesting and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful sun rises

We certainly enjoyed staying at the Meeks house on sunset point. There were breathtaking views of the morning sun. This was a unique experience, staying in this time capsule,(1905),where history and comfort come together. We would not hesitate to stay at the Meek’s house again.

We love this place

Awesome Cabin full of fun. We love hanging out in the Den/Living Room when no out hiking. The sunrise is beautiful from the arm chair, or you can walk 100 feet to Sunrise Point. Trail head is right there if you like to hike. Place is incredibly comfortable given how old the cabin is. We plan on coming back regularly. It is perfect for what we were looking for. And great owner.

View is great but house is a dump. Think hoarder type of stuff everywhere. Shower is like bathing in a cow trough. Place is about to fall down in places and steps are really dangerous. Doors don’t work. Etc.

Brunch with a View

Rented the house to host a brunch for my daughter that was turning 18. The outside space was going to be perfect, however the wind and fog did not allow that to happen. But we moved it to the back porch area and it worked perfectly.

Wonderful views in a step back in time home.

We rented this home for a wedding on Mt Nebo. Ms. Deborah was a great host. She accommodated us with whatever we needed. She stays in the small cabin on the property which was fine with us. If you need something she was just steps away. The house is just as she describes, 120 year old home that is cozy and well stocked. The view from the living room is awesome. Did not need for anything during our stay. One of my girls let me know that was the best property we have stayed in yet. If you like older homes and are heading to My. Nebo, give it a shot.

Mt. Nebo house

I absolutely loved the location! Great home on the edge of the mountain very antique (bring allergy medicine very dusty). I will say two things that bothered me was that 1. In profile it states two bedroom, fits 6 people but in reality we were just shown one bedroom with beds in one room? Once I did my own walk around the property I noticed that the second bedroom was being used as storage. 2. Was not informed that the property owner was going to stay right outside the home in a storage/laundry room. However the hostess was very sweet & kind gave us a tour & told us about the historical house that’s been in her family for years, super sweet lady. The views were breathtaking absolutely beautiful.

Adventures with the Grands!

This location cannot be beat! The cabin is ON the Rim Trail, across the street from the Three C's Trail and adjoins Sunrise Point. We went biking and hiking and enjoyed the unparalleled mountain top views from inside and the porches. We were up close and personal with the paragliders taking off from the point! I coukd see the sunrise without leaving the hoyse and then go back to sleep. I didn't mind sharing the large one bedroom setup with my three grandchildren and we all slept comfortably. We had wifi access and Roku although we didn't need it much as we were busy with activities until after dark. Our hostess was available next door for immediate help when needed and my grandchildren took full advantage of visiting with her and her kitties every time they had a chance (sorry about that, Deborah!). She provided apples to feed the deer that came in the yard. This trip was not only a highlight for me but my grands said it was the best thing they've ever done!

It’s The View!

When I pulled up and saw the outside, screened in area, I was a little concerned.. the area could definitely use paint and new cushions, but the rest of the house is absolutely adorable and a great condition for being 120 years old! Even if it was adorable in that front area, I wouldn’t hang out there, because of the view from the back! It is stunning, everywhere you look! You can see a crystal clear view of the east and the south… I was on a journey fasting, praying, and worshipping the Lord and I can’t think of a better spot I could’ve gone close to home. The owner was staying next-door and was so helpful during a storm, making sure I had flashlights and anything else I may need…… But on the final day is where I was blown away by her kindness! She had gone to town and asked if I needed anything. She ended up driving 25 miles to get me a Tropical smoothie. Deborah deserves 1000 stars as a host! I didn’t use anything, but she had everything you could need (besides food) in the house.. literally everything (even carrots for the deer)! I absolutely recommend staying at Meek’s cabin! My time with The Lord was life-changing and the host is precious!

Best communication EVER!

Some places don’t just host you—they whisper to you.This old house is one of those places.The host, kind and welcoming, speaks with the ease of an old friend—one who understands the value of a good story and a longer pause between sentences. She might not of realized I love to chat as much as she did!The house itself… well, it’s no stranger to time. Recent storms have not been kind, as the wind pushed in a few screens. While we were there, it faced some damage from a terrible storm as well. Trees down in the park, and towards town. No show stopper for us by any means! Yet this magnificent old house! The floors lean with age, the corners breathe a little dust, and the screen doors sag from storms past. But there's a beauty in that. A truth. It feels like stepping inside a memory you forgot you had.There’s no illusion of modern perfection here.Only the quiet honesty of a home that’s stood through years of laughter, loss, weather, and wear.The walls don’t pretend—they remember.If there’s anything I could wish for, it’s a larger bed. The full is small, and its springs sing their age when you sit... But that sound… that creak and cry…It transported me.Back to childhood nights at my grandmother’s house. Back to summer air through open windows and quilts that smelled like time.Back to a world slower, softer, and somehow more real.This house isn’t just a stay—it’s a story.And if you let it, it’ll wrap you in its worn arms and whisper, “You’ve been here before.”

Mountain biking, sunrises and a perfect location

We had a wonderful time at this house located right at sunrise point. It's a great base camp for mountain biking or hiking at Nebo mountain. Deborah is a wonderful hosts and all our questions were answered promptly. The house has everything you could possibly need. The back deck and backyard have incredible views! We will definitely be back!
