Over the years, the property evolved through several identities—WQCK (1981) and WVFJ-FM (1983)—before becoming today’s one-of-a-kind retreat: Lara’s Chateau at The Radio House.

Our stay at this cabin was nothing short of amazing! The property is incredibly charming, spacious, and thoughtfully designed—perfect for our large group of 20 plus. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep, and we never felt crowded. The cabin had to large kitchens which really made cooking for everyone a breeze. The mountain backdrop was absolutely breathtaking—especially in the mornings with coffee on the deck. The setting is peaceful and serene, yet close enough to nearby attractions if you want to explore.One of the highlights was the private movie theater—such a fun and cozy touch that everyone enjoyed after a day of hiking and sightseeing.The host was fantastic—super accommodating, very responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. You can tell they genuinely care about the guest experience.Highly recommend this cabin for any large group looking for a memorable and relaxing mountain retreat. We can’t wait to come back.
