Nice little cabin. Decor was really cute. Cabin was clean and limited space is maximized. Close to lake and party store. We would consider staying here again.

Fantastic Cabin Just A Short Walk To The Lake!We found Rocky Top to be a fantastic and wonderful place to stay, nestled in a great location just a short walk to the lake. The cabin was decorated wonderfully and took us back in time to the days of spending summers on the lake of years gone by. Equipped with everything we could ever need, we found ourselves wanting for nothing. Well stocked kitchen, grill right out the back door, fire pit and lots of space for entertainment provided a wonderful stay. Beds were comfortable and no stone was left unturned to ensure we had everything we needed to feel right at home. Location was fantastic and we found it to be conveniently located to Graying, Roscommon, Higgins and Houghton. We definitely can not say enough good things about the hosts and property and would not hesitate to book again and again! Five stars are definitely not enough!Thank you Nick for such a great time! Memories were definitely made!
