The Top of the Rock Cottages sit within the Top of the Rock complex, adjacent to the Nicklaus par-3 course and a short drive from Payne's Valley.
The property
Approximately 20 private cottages with full kitchens, stone fireplaces, and private patios overlooking the Payne's Valley routing. The Top of the Rock dining options, including Arnie's Barn, are within walking distance, and the Lost Canyon Cave and Nature Trail departs from the same complex.
What to expect
A quieter alternative to the main lodge, with the seclusion and self-sufficiency that come with a standalone cottage. The format works particularly well for small groups or couples who value the independence of a full kitchen and the intimacy of a private property over the busier atmosphere of a hotel.
Rates and booking
$250 to $400 per night, reflecting the privacy and the location premium.
