About this house rental
This year round cabin is 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1829sqft house is located about 90 minutes drive north of Phoenix in Pine, AZ elevation is 5,448 feet = 20º cooler year round. Pine is about 13 miles north of Payson and has all you might need in a home away from home but with all the serenity, tall pine, & starry night views the city is missing: central heating & air, cathedral ceilings, covered deck, fully stocked kitchen, laundry room with full size washer and dryer, ceiling fans in every room. Amenities include Netflix, wifi, Directv, HBO, clean linens, and towels. Picturesque views, quiet street, tall pines, wild life (deer, elk, squirrel, birds, etc.) Property has an alarm system and includes a security camera inside on top of kitchen wall pointed at the entrance. Once the alarm is deactivated so is the camera.
NOTE: Thermostat is locked at 72°F due to a past guest changing settings causing AC & heat to run simultaneously which fried the motherboard and disabled both. Cost us $$$$ to fix. If 72° feels too warm or cool, there are fans and space heaters throughout. But if you want it adjusted to a different temperature during your stay just text Jennifer and we will remotely make the change for you.
The upstairs bathroom has a jacuzzi tub (sadly only for one but man is it relaxing), a separate shower, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and soap. The upstairs master has a king size bed, some empty dresser drawers, and closet with hangers. The living room has leather couch, love seat, and chairs that are being restored. The upstairs dining area has table and seating for 6. Folding card table & 4 chairs in laundry room.
The garage is off limits.
Downstairs you will find a second full bathroom with towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and soap. Also downstairs are the second and third bedrooms. One with a queen bed, empty dresser, and closet with a 5th twin mattress & hangers. The other has 3 twins with a 4th twin on floor trundle plus travel crib & pack-n-play in the large walk-in closet.
Stairs required to get to main level and downstairs bedrooms.
The kitchen has pots, pans, silverware, utensils, knives, 12 large dinner plates, 8 medium plates, 8 dessert size plates, 8 cereal bowls, 6 coffee mugs, 4 wine glasses, 8 pint glasses, 4 tumblers, electric oven/stove, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, hand held mixer, mixing bowls, toaster, blender, crockpot, regular coffee pot, and an electric water kettle. Coffee, tea, ketchup, mustard, & basic spices provided.
The deck has a couch swing, 3 Adirondack chairs, round patio table with 4 chairs, and a propane BBQ grill.
We do NOT provide air mattresses for extra guests.
There's a regular coffee pot with reusable filter and an electric water kettle. Coffee, tea, ketchup, mustard, & basic spices provided. Propane BBQ grill. I try to keep it full but if it ever runs out the cost to fill to use is on you. The gas station across from the hardware store does refills. It cost me $9 to refill when it was completely empty and swaps are about $20+.
There aren't any alarm clocks in any of the bedrooms because you're on "Pine Time" (aka vacation).

HOUSE RULES:
1) Leave the cabin CLEAN & as you found it. If kitchen and bathrooms are not clean when you check out you will be charged $100 more (unless you chose Cleaning Package 2). The current $75 fee ONLY covers the cost of washing linens, towels, and remaking all the beds so thoroughly clean up after yourselves. If you know that you don't plan on cleaning, let host know *before you book* to get a slight discount on extra cleaning fee. This is our HOME not a hotel. In order to keep the fees low you ARE required to leave it clean. Respect the house as if it were your very best friend's.
2) Respect the neighbors and wildlife. Sound carries a lot farther here in the woods. That's my nice way of saying NO loud parties or music.
3) Remove shoes at the entrance whenever possible.
4) Garage & locked cabinet in laundry room are off limits.
5) Do NOT cut or put hot pans on counters or tables. There are cutting boards, trivets, and hot pads provided.
6) NO SMOKING INSIDE. If you smoke outside use extreme caution and take ALL evidence with you.
7) There is NO trash service so you will be required to take it ALL with you (including bathroom trash). Aluminum soda/beer cans can be dropped in recycling bins at Ponderosa Market and Pine Elementary school has a paper/cardboard recycling bin. There is a $2/bag pay dumpster at the Texaco in Pine.
8) Do not change TV wiring. Weird that we even need to say that but a past guest did. (?)
9) The trampoline, playground, & fire pit behind my home belong to my neighbor and they've asked me to inform all guests that it's "private property & off limits" even if they appear to be away!
If these rules aren't followed we will place a claim against your security deposit.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pine Time! The cabin itself was very roomy, with soaring ceilings that made the place seem even more spacious. Everything was very clean and tidy, and all the supplies and amenities were well organized and easy to find. They've also got newer appliances, which we definitely appreciated. The owner is very friendly and responsive, and really took care of us. We look forward to our next stay at Pine Time!

The owners were great - oganized and attentive. I’ve been going to Pine for many years and have stayed at several different properties over the years. This cabin was among the best. It’s in a perfect location and it’s in immaculate condition. There is everything you could possibly need right at your fingertips. One of the best features was the wonderful wraparound deck, what great views! We will be back soon.

The house was just wonderful for our family. The boys especially loved the bunk beds. I was hoping for more of a yard for the children to play in but we found that the only yard space belongs to the neighbor behind. Otherwise our stay was just wonderful!

Overall nicely appointed property in convenient location with some of the more comfortable beds we've found in VRBO properties. Beds alone would warrant returning. Located somewhat close to neighbors, but with 2nd floor living and surrounded by tall pines felt plenty private. Easy check-in and check-out. Quite a few amenities (coffee, condiments & SPICES, wifi, Roku, grill, well appointed kitchen, central A/C, etc.). Well maintained inside and out with pleasant and comfortable furniture & decor. Love all the bears! Plenty of room for a family. There were only two of us for a short visit, but were also checking the place out for future family trips and it would definitely meet our needs. Only drawback is cleaning upon checkout, which for our 2 day stay was no issue at all. If we were staying a week with more than 2 people, I'd prefer to pay for cleaning service to come in behind. Definitely will consider this property again.

Thank you so much for sharing your home away from home with us. We were very impressed at how clean and well stocked the house was. Jennifer was extremely responsive in all of our communication. We truly enjoyed being able to relax on the hammock outside and listen to the pine trees sway in the wind. We can't wait to come back!

We brought our family up to Pine for Spring Break and were so excited when we pulled up to this cabin. It's in a great location - convenient to town but on a nice quiet street with easy forest access. The cabin was very clean and well-maintained. It has a great layout with two bedrooms downstairs and the master and kitchen upstairs with a big wrap-around deck. Our kids loved the bunk room and giant double bunk bed! The beds were all comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the deck and swing, the horseshoes, and the fire pit outside. We were able to go to Tonto Natural Bridge, went for a drive on the Mogollon Rim, and hiked the Pine Canyon Trail. Our kids loved the entire trip and it all started with this amazing cabin. We can't wait to come back. It was everything we hoped for and more!

The house was really nice and clean. It was perfect location and Jennifer was really fast at responding when we had any questions. Would definitely recommend to friends and would stay again! Perfect get away, and the snow was amazing!

We rented this cabin for our annual trip. The cabin is located in the pines and had a very "home" feel to it. The owners were great in making sure we were taken care of. They were very helpful. We have been doing this trip for about 8 years now and they were the most personable and helpful owners we have dealt with. We enjoyed the cabin so much with horseshoes and enjoying the perfect weather and playing cornhole on the deck that we didn't even explore the town. Looking forward to renting this cabin again in the future.

I took my husband up for his birthday weekend, and we absolutely loved it!! It was way more room than we needed, so we can't wait to go back with the kids soon. Perfect quiet spot that's not too far from town.
5.0 / 5.0
From the moment we pulled up to our rental we were so excited! The home was beautiful and everything was so convenient for us! The owner was so helpful through the whole process, she even left a binder with answers to every question imaginable, passwords for everything and even menu's for local restaurants! We loved how comfortable we were and how easily the entire process went! We will absolutely be staying again! Love this home!!
