About this house rental

Leave the city behind for a retreat at this remodeled Payson house! With 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a 2,000-square-foot interior, this vacation rental easily accommodates 10 guests (6 adults and 4 children) for an unforgettable trip near the Tonto National Forest. Hike on the property's 4 acres, feast al fresco on the patio with an outdoor kitchen, and let the kids be kids in the treehouse! To top it off, the home is minutes from outdoor recreation giving the area its nickname, 'Recreation Alley!'

THE PROPERTY

Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2 (The Elk Room): Queen Bed | Bedroom 3 (The Bear Room): Queen Bed | Bedroom 4 (The Bunk Room - no door): 2 Twin-over-Twin Bunk Beds

Pour yourself a cup of morning coffee before quietly making your way to the wraparound deck to watch the local elk graze on the property. Follow coffee with breakfast, easily prepared in the state-of-the-art kitchen fully equipped to handle all of your cooking needs! Once you're fueled, lace up your boots for a hike on the property's 4 acres of pristine land or open up to gate to discover the Tonto National Forest.

When you need a break from nature's elements, retreat inside this modern-yet-rustic home! Tongue and groove ceilings, Bruce oak hardwood floors, and large windows are just a few highlights of the interior design. Relaxation comes easy in the airy living room, featuring sumptuous leather furnishings. On chilly evenings, feel free to build a fire in the wood-burning stove.

Step your meals up a notch with an al fresco feast on the patio, complete with a gas grill and bar area! Watch the moon rise as you dine around the 8-person outdoor table, toasting your vacation in style.

Let the kids get all of their energy out playing in the treehouse and complementing swings. They're sure to doze right off in the bunk room, while you make yourself comfortable in one of the other 3 bedrooms'. In the morning, wake up with a refreshing shower in the updated bathrooms, both stocked with fresh towels, and shower essentials.

THE LOCATION

During your stay, reacquaint with family and friends all the while familiarizing yourself with the great outdoors of Arizona!

This home places you in 'The Heart of Arizona' providing easy access to hiking, mountain biking, swimming, fishing and more! One of the best swimming holes, Water Wheel Falls, is found a short distance away on the East Verde River, with the trailhead starting just 3 miles up the road. You'll truly feel the secluded at the property, with neighbors found to only one side.

Hiking is available right on the property, but for more trails and scenic views, head to Tonto Natural Bridge State Park or locate the Arizona Trail, both located less than 30 miles away. The anglers of the group will find their fair share of fun at Green Valley Park. Even fish for Rainbow Trout at Rancho Tonto Catch-A-Trout, just 25 miles away!

Sedona, with beautiful Red Rock State Park, and Flagstaff, featuring Arizona Snowbowl, are an easy day trip from the property! Phoenix lies even closer with plenty of metropolitan luxuries, but a few of its own beautiful outdoor destinations like the Salt River.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was well stocked with kitchen essentials and bathroom necessities. The kids loved having the treehouse and swings to play on and the adults like being able to sit outside under the awning to relax and watch them. My only complaint would be to suggest adding curtains on the bedroom windows that can be closed. As soon as the sun came up the light illuminated through the fabric blinds & lit up the whole room which made sleeping in hard. We’ll definitely keep this cabin on our rotation list.

Great property for little kids - the treehouse was a hit, and the place was clean and well stocked. Very quiet property just outside of town. Will be staying here again.

This cabin is great for families, and this was our second stay. The only issue we had was with the wifi, which didn't work even after resetting the router. Fortunately, our phone hotspots kept the kids entertained on their tablets, so it wasn't a major problem for us. Maria is very responsive and a pleasure to rent from. The home is well-stocked and nicely appointed. One thing to keep in mind is that the upstairs gets very warm in the summer. We visited over Memorial Day weekend, and it was quite uncomfortable at night without opening the windows. However, when the windows were open, the blinds would flap around in the wind. Despite these minor inconveniences, we would stay at this cabin again.

PROS:4 nights.house was nice and cozy. Kitchen was clean and had pretty much everything needed. This year we decided to have a get away as our Christmas "gift." It was nice spending time with family all on one place.5 adults and 3 kids.The kids loved the play house & we all enjoyed the outdoor seating and swings. Beds and pillows were not bad. CONS:#1 disappointment was the shower.I timed it (after my 1st cold shower). The hot water only lasted (literally) 5 minutes. Towards the end of the 5th min it would start to get cold. Mind you, it got as cold as 32° a couple of nights. After a hike & cooking Christmas dinner all day a nice hot shower, without having to rush would have been devine! We had to take turns with hours in between any showers. The 2nd issue was all the POOP! I know there are wild animals in this area (although, sadly we did not see even one). The yard was exaggeratedly filled with what I can only assume was elk/deer scat. Like it was everywhere! We went on a few walks outside of the property fence and there was a significant less amount in the "wild" than in the yard. Not sure why. But it was excessive. There was also a tiny, maybe 3ft Christmas tree set up. Which I was excited for, but the lights did not work. Good thing there was a Walmart near by, so we went and got a tiny string of lights for it. Also, nowhere in the house rules does it state to not wear shoes in the house. But at the door it says to remove them. It was raining so we took them off inside.

What a great property for a bigger crew. The house was very comfortable and the property was great for the kids. The playhouse was perfect for our littles. Beds were super comfy and we were able to all sit at the table for meals. This place is wonderful.

A great experience from the time of booking to the time of checking out. Any questions we had prior to checking in were answered within 12hrs. by the host Maria (quicker after a conversation was started). We had a group of 10, 2 different families. Everyone had place to lay their head. Plenty of space for everyone to gather for breakfasts and dinners as well. The views and sunrises were fantastic. Everyone had a wonderful time. Hiking trails just a short distance away, 30min or less. The kids were wondering where the zipline was. I can only assume it was taken down or broke because no one could find it. And the 4 burner grill only allowed the use of 3 burners. When attempting to use a 4th burner the gas would "puff out"; must have been something with the factory set regulator. Obviously not a deal breaker. We learned to use 3 burners for burgers and brats, still plenty of heat. Not worth a call to the host. Overall, like I stated before, our families had a memorable time at this wonderful property. Thanks, Maria.

We had the pleasure of staying in Maria's beautiful cabin this summer. It provided tons of yard space for our children to enjoy. The tree house/swings were a hit! The home was spotless and beautifully renovated. The location was perfect for us. It is close to Water Wheel Falls and other hiking trails. We would recommend to family members and friends. Thank you Maria for hosting our family. We would love to return in the future.
