About this cabin rental
This creek-side manufactured cabin with site-built addition has a large covered deck overlooking the Greer Valley a stone's throw from the East Fork of the Little Colorado. The cabin is snuggled in the woods under large old-growth ponderosa pines near the Wallow Burn which has regrown with abundant new vegetation and wildflowers that attracts elk, deer, and other wildlife right up to the deck. Enjoy grilling, put out some seed, watch the birds and friendly squirrels just a few feet away. The trail up the East Fork of the Little Colorado River is right there, with good trout fishing upstream and down and few other anglers. The East Fork is the least visited part of Greer, so if you are looking for quiet communing with nature in the cool pines and firs, this is the place to be. This no-hassle cabin is the owner's own weekend getaway and amply outfitted with all the comforts of home including WIfi and satellite TV,
washer/dryer, microwave, stove, fridge with water and ice, gas grill, central heat, and all the dishes, utensils, and small appliances you need for an easy vacation in the mountains. It's everything you need and nothing you don't, so it's affordable too. If you like it simple, you won't find a better deal in a setting this perfect anywhere in Greer.

We loved every moment of our time in Greer at the Windes’ East Fork Retreat. The setting was beautiful, the accommodations were rustic yet clean, the wifi was fantastic (no issues even when the satellite lost signal for a little while), and everything was comfortable and well-appointed. We are already planning our next trip to this same spot!

Cabin was very clean and had everything needed for a pleasant stay. Greer is a good area to get out of the heat. Ample opportunity for hiking and fishing near by.

My wife and I stayed in the cabin for four nights and loved it. My wife was taken by the beautiful appointments and decor both inside and out. It was very comfortable and accommodating. Rather than going out to eat, we were able to prepare our own meals in the well equipped kitchen. It was so relaxing to sit on the porch in the morning and take in the views and fresh air. We are looking forward to returning in the future. PK

East Fork Retreat is the best VRBO place in Greer. The host Harriet is ALWAYS responsive and helpful with any questions.
This home is ALWAYS clean and provides all of the items you need to cook, eat, and enjoy the many comforts.
The location is perfect with a large covered porch for just sitting and listening to all the nature sounds and sights.
It is close to hiking paths, the eateries of Greer, the lakes and fishing or kayaking
I highly recommend staying at this location. You will NOT be disappointed.

Beautiful quiet property. Had elk and deer visit us right in the yard. Great patio with lots of birds squirrels and chipmunks. Will definately stay here again.

The property was extremely clean, felt very private and was set up perfectly to put some bird seed in the provided feeders to then sit back and watch the amazing birds show up!
If you are someone wanting to enjoy the birds, make sure you bring wild bird seeds, suet and make some hummingbird food beforehand! The rufous will thank you as he defends the food all day long.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property. The house is immaculate and well appointed with everything you could possibly need. The beds are extremely comfortable and we slept better here than at home. The river runs right along the property we saw tons of wildlife. We will be back we absolutely loved it. Harriet the property manager is there for anything you need or to answer questions. We will be back!

This is an excellent place to get away from the hussle and bustle of every day life. It is well equipped to cook your own food (which you will probably need to do as in town options are limited). The area is teaming with wildlife as well. A group of deer came through near the property every evening and the chipmunks were hilarious to watch. This place is clean and easy to get to (in the summer). Only downside for my 4 year old were the spider webs in various corners of the property and house. Hard to convince the city girl it was just a part of life out there.

My husband & I have been meeting our adult son in Greer for 30 years to fish. Harriet the property manager for Windes East Fork Retreat has helped us book a cabin for many of these years. This property is superior to all that we have rented. Harriet is a wonderful person & she always ensures that we have everything we need.
The cabin and patio are very clean and the owner
maintains it in "like new" condition. The many windows in the living area allow us to enjoy the outdoors even on rainy days. We love the quiet location and spacious grounds where we play Bocce ball and Corn hole that we bring from home.
Windes' East Fork Retreat won't disappoint!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. Kitchen was fully equipped with any tools and dishes needed for preparing and serving food. The King bed was super comfortable and there was more than sufficient bedding and towels. The heater worked great and the shower was nice and warm/hot. We loved watching the birds and squirrels nibbling on the seed provided. The host was very nice, friendly, and always quickly available for any questions or needs. The only suggestion might be to add some sort of fireplace as we missed sitting next to a fire.

The East Fork retreat was wonderful. Situated near the end of the East Fork road, close to the stream, and surrounded by pines, it was the perfect spot for a quiet and comfortable stay in Greer. The cabin was spotless; beds were comfortable, and it was well equipped. Even a refrigerator with an ice maker! Harriet, the care taker, lives in a nearby cabin and was always available. Hummingbirds, squirrels and chipmunks, and blue jays frequented the feeders off the front porch. This was a very nice experience, especially for our guests who had never been to Greer. Two bedrooms, but definitely can accommodate only 4 people. This is a place we could easily go back to year after year.

The Windes Retreat is a great property for two couples. We spent happy hours each evening sitting on the porch (wearing jackets) watching for deer and listening to the running river. The owner thoughtfully provides everything you might need. We walked into “downtown” Greer, hiked along the Black River, biked and hiked at Sunrise. It’s a perfect location for people who love the outdoors, offering so many options to experience this beautiful part of AZ. We are already planning our next visit.

Loved this place! Check in a snap. Very inviting as we drove up. Covered porch with nice big rockers were great for evening cocktails and awesome in the morning for coffee. Squirrels and birds galore. Even had deer one morning.
Supplies inside were perfect for cooking and eating. Our only disappointment was the bbq grill and we chose not to use it.

This was absolutely an adorable cabin. Perfect for myself and my sister. We had been looking for a place e to stay and enjoy fishing the Greer area and the beautiful mountains. Your cabin was just perfect for us both. Spacious and Cozy and a beautiful relaxing patio to overlook the mountains and trees. We cannot say enough as we are so happy that you have shared your home with us. We WILL be back next year. Thank you Harriett, a great Host and thank you Windes Family.

This is the second time I have stayed here. If you like a large modern cabin with privacy and a wonderful large covered porch with bird feeders that attract squirrels, chipmunks, and various birds this place is for you. We also had a deer visit us on this trip. I love this place.

We had a beautiful time. The bedroom that looks out at the bird feeders, amazing. The deer that came within 20 yards of the porch, amazing. Outdoor furniture very comfortable. I will come back without question to write on my book. My Granddaughter never watched TV and was so taken by the beauty.

AWESOME!!
We love this cabin! It is conveniently located close to the Village of Greer and has the advantage of being very quiet. We enjoyed watching birds and playing yard games we brought with us when we weren't fishing. Harriet, the manager, is the best!!
