What an amazing cabin. Everything as advertised and more. There was more than enough room for the whole family and tons of wildlife to watch from the many windows. No complaints here and we are looking forward to booking for next year!!

It was a pretty good experience. A lot of the outside stuff could be cleaned a little more. We had to throughly clean the grill before we could even use it.

We were so impressed by this gorgeous home beautifully situated amongst the pine trees. The owner, Debbie goes "over the top" with accommodations. she provides every last detail to make your stay the most accommodating and relaxing experience from a fully stocked kitchen, games in the basement, Propane fire pit outside for making s'mores, and a TV with streaming service. Debbie is so in tune with her guests that she makes a "welcome guide" available online that details everything possible about what is included in the home. She does an outstanding job of communicating via email and/or phone. This is by far, the best host we have ever encountered. Thank you Debbie!

My husband and I were looking for the perfect place to escape the heat and just enjoy nature and we definitely found it at The Wandering Elk Cabin!!!! This home is absolutely beautiful inside and out! We enjoyed watching the javelinas in the evening from the deck (it faces into the stunning ponderosa pines), enjoyed watching the resident squirrel “Sammy” while he ate off the deck and entertained us from time to time, and we spent one morning watching the elk graze around the front and back yards from the upper decks! The cabin had everything you could think of and more!! Debbie’s attention to detail was above and beyond! She made sure we had everything we needed and was a phone call away if we had questions. She left hiking trail maps out for us and even left water bottles for our fur babies! We had the best weekend thanks to the Wandering Elk Cabin and the hospitality of Debbie and Dave! We would , without hesitation, recommend this cabin to all our friends and family and we plan to go back with our children and grand kids in the near future! Maureen

This place was the perfect mid-week getaway for us to de-stress from work. The smell of the pines and the proximity to trails was great. Bonus was getting to see mule deer and other wildlife in the neighborhood.

The property is situated in an excellent location. We had people walk by while we were enjoying the weather on the front porch and comment on how it seemed like the perfect vacation rental. Accommodates a medium sized group well.

My son got married in Pine at the Tonto bridge park. We reserve three homes in Pine to accommodate friends and family. Wandering Elk was the best cabin and our hostess Debbie was the best. Debbie went out of of her to accommodate our needs, including to our two year old grandson. Theo has a blast with all the flags and animals, including Sammy the squirrel. The cabin became our “Base Camp” and the wedding was perfect. I strongly recommend Wandering Elk.

We had such a wonderful time. The host was very communicative and did everything they could to make our stay perfect. The cabin was such a welcoming and relaxing space. And the drive up was only 2 short hours from Phoenix, making it very easy to get to for a short weekend getaway.

The cabin was wonderful, so many great spots to sit and enjoy nature. Best part was being able to choose the inside or outside to enjoy the forest.

The rental process from beginning to end was seamless. Debbie created a detailed overview of the surrounding area of local businesses, restaurants, places of interest, etc. She sends to her renters once the contract is initiated. Great idea, this allows the renter time to develop a plan for their stay. She is Extremely well organized and her communication with the renters is second to none. The cabin itself is well stocked, with kitchen appliances, utensils, dinnerware, spices etc. Plenty of seating, inside and out. Views from the 3 decks are amazing, and we loved the wildlife. Seen deer, 3 javelina's, Sammy the squirrel and at least 10 elk within the residential area. Debbie outfitted the cabin with Roku tv's, made for fun time for family gatherings watching movies/popcorn. Then there's the basement living area, game room with pool table, (does need a little work), ping pong table, and lots of board games. This place has everything from comfortable beds, privacy, and entertainment. Truly a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Can't wait to come back. Debbie thank you for being a fantastic host. We loved talking with you.

Just the recharge we needed to kick off the new year! Very relaxing with all the accommodations you need. In a quiet beautiful neighborhood. The owner was great & easy to communicate with

We loved the hostess, Debbie! I’ve personally never experienced such an attentive owner. The cabin was in a nicely wooded forest with lots of elk hence the name! The cabin was clean and very well equipped…. great WiFi , access to smart TVs, modern thermostat, abundance of firewood. She provided quality products and sweet gift upon entering. My granddaughter was so impressed with the personal message left for us! We made most meals at home and had all the equipment readily available. Debbie was quick to respond to any questions that did arise. We are looking forward to a summertime visit.

Staying at the Wandering Elk cabin was very enjoyable! Beautiful cabin- very comfortable and cozy and beautifully decorated-Debbie even put up a Xmas tree and lights! Loved all the amenities-Debbie thinks of everything!

Debbie and her cabin were wonderful. She was prompt at communicating and we really enjoyed everything down to the small details.

As a corporate event planner, it is always difficult to find the perfect accommodations for a business retreat. This cabin was was more than that! It had all the space we needed while still allowing privacy for everyone. It was the first time in my three years of planning this retreat that I didn't have any complaints from my co-workers. Debbie the owner was checking in with me to insure my group had everything they needed, without being overbearing and intrusive. We will be back again! I'm already planning a personal trip to the cabin with my friends!

Debbie was great to work with and went way above and beyond what I would expect. The house was super clean. The layouts is great for multiple families, a bathroom and family room on each of the 3 floors. Tons of outdoor space. Great location in Pine. We had an amazing time.

Our family of 10 had a great time on Labor Day weekend. Lots to do with walks and hikes nearby and games downstairs. On-site laundry would have been nice but we had a great time all around.

This home was more than large enough for the 8 adults who stayed here, and the other couples who came for the Birthday celebration. My wife usually brings linen and blankets to hotels and VRBO's because she loves clean sheets. We did not need to use them because the home was clean and the sheets smelled fresh and clean. I am a student and needed to attend Zoom classes at ASU while I was up there. The WiFi was perfect and I had no problems on the computer. In-fact, a friend who lives in Pine came to use the WiFi for her school as well because the WiFi in her home is not adequate for her school work. The homeowners kept in contact with me weeks leading to the trip, making sure that I had all of the information I needed to have a great stay.

Great cabin with plenty of room for the family.. The owner has the home stocked with everything you could think of in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. There’s plenty of games to make family time entertaining. We were even lucky enough to have a cow elk walk up to the back porch and eat a few apples. Easy check in/out with great communication with the owner.

This property was perfect for our family. We had enough room for 4 days to get ready for many family events leading up to a family wedding. Plenty of games and activities to play for the random rain storm that caused us to stay in. Even a karaoke machine! Beds and linens were very comfortable and all the amenities we needed were provided. We had an unexpected issue with water in the basement (due to heavy rain one night) and Debby was prompt at responding to the situation.

We had the pleasure of renting this property for my wife's birthday. Three levels with plenty of room and very comfortable. Bedrooms on every level - so plenty of room for everybody. Plenty of outdoor seating on the various balconies. Squirrels, javelina, elk and deer all made a visit in the back of the property covered with tall pines. Our host, Debbie went out of her way to make us feel welcomed, and her communication and preparation were excellent. We hope to return for additional stays with family and friends. Thank you, Debbie!

Six of us stayed in the spacious, well equipped and fully furnished cabin. The cabin is surrounded by Juniper forests and mountains, yet just five minutes from excellent restaurants and local shopping. With three floors, each with its own deck, there was plenty of room for private space There was a ping pong table, pool table, games and two large-screen TVs for family entertainment. It is a beautiful cabin in a lovely place, and importantly, within an easy two hour drive from Phoenix. The owner, Debbie, is easy and helpful and dedicated to making your stay a wonderful experience.

Absolutely wonderful! If I could , I would give 100stars … We just had the most beautiful stay in this very lovely mountain home. Two nights of pure heaven ! Wandering Elk Cabin offered everything we could want. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay an incredible experience and has a touch of technology almost everywhere. Very well-equipped kitchen with beautiful fully functioning appliances. Basement has pool table, ping pong, and lots of board game. The best part is the host Debbie, she will make sure that all the questions are answered ( yes immediately !). Also keep you informed if the weather is favorable or not. Our son has asthma , she even asked me what kind of cleaner we use so that she would same thing ( before we arrived), absolutely amazing! I can’t imagine better customer service than this. I definitely plan to book Wandering Elk again and will advertise in my friend circle ( well , I already started).

The house was obviously someone's home - not just a short-term rental property. We would stay in this property again.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Everything listed was exactly correct. Loved the elk and deer that roamed the area. Debbie was an excellent host and was extremely helpful and informative.

Clean spacious. accommodations.

We rent vacation homes as a family quite often, and let me say, this home offers some of the best amenities out there! The beds are comfy, there are lots of blankets for the cool nights in the summer, and plenty of nice soft towels in the bathrooms. There are nice sharp knives in the kitchen and plenty of necessary appliances, pots and pans. We enjoyed the exercise of the stairs going up and down off of the main level, as we currently live in a single-story house. The game room downstairs kept us entertained for many hours with the pool table, ping pong, assorted games and karaoke. We saw many critters outside the home from the comfort of the patio areas~ deer, elk, and squirrels to name a few. There was a lot of shade from the trees and the umbrellas on the patios. The air conditioner in the living room works wonderfully to take away the heat of the day, and then we welcomed the chilly relief of opening the windows at night. We brought our bikes and enjoyed many rides, but beware that you are in the mountains~ lots of hills! Don’t forget your helmets 😉. Debbie couldn’t be more accommodating if she tried~ you won’t go wrong with her customer service! Thank you for everything!!

My adult children and 3 grandchildren (ages 2-8) recently stayed at the Wandering Elk cabin. It was very clean and well stocked. The kitchen had a great supply of dishes and pots and pans. The outdoor decks are large with plenty of seating. The first evening the grandchildren spotted an elk feeding right in the back yard. The beds were comfortable and plentiful. Linens and toiletries were provided. We spent a lot of time playing the games provided with the cabin; you don't need to bring your own!! The grandkids loved the pool table and the ping pong table and the large tv in the downstairs area. The windows on the main level provide a great view of the forest so you can just sit back and relax. There are gadgets like the Ninja Coffee Bar and Ember coffee mugs, as well as wi-fi and Roku. When we were there, it was unseasonably hot, so we were warm because the air conditioner is just in the main area. However, once the evening cooled down and the house cooled down, the next day the house was comfortable. That was just Mother Nature. There is an evaporative cooler which we used and it helped, also. The only other minor glitch we had was that none of the 6 adults in the cabin could get the can opener to work!!!!! But it entertained and challenged us. The best part of Wandering Elk Cabin is the owner, Debbie Burney. From the beginning of the rental, she was immediately responsive and helped me add an additional day. When I had any questions, she was friendly and helpful. I definitely plan to book Wandering Elk again or another rental she might be taking care of. It's worth it to have someone who cares if you have a pleasant experience. I have rented with VRBO before and, although the owners have been good, Debbie puts them to shame.

We rented three cabins in the same area to accommodate everyone in our group. This cabin was by far the best, fully stocked with lots of board games. We seen lots of wildlife coming through. Debbie was awesome and always available for any questions we had.

Highly recommend this property! Debbie is fantastic and covered all our bases! Had a restful, relaxing and wonderful long weekend. Can’t wait to get back there!

Everything about our experience was fantastic! Great open floor plan with plenty of space! The pictures don’t do it justice, so much more grand and beautiful in person. The property has an awesome backyard where the kids and family pup had plenty of room to run to play. We saw elk walking through the backyard area from the deck, it was awesome! Plenty of beds for multiple sleeping arrangement options. The basement game room was especially fun! We played ping pong, pool, bags and even sang karaoke on the fun little machine provided! The house was well stocked with plenty of plates, glassware, good sharp knives for prepping and great pans for cooking, and a beautiful outdoor grill! Make sure you use the grill mats for the best experience! The espresso/coffee machine was put to good use while we were there too. Such a nice touch! The house was very clean and the beds were comfy. The wood burning stove was such a treat! Oh, and they provided wood for it. We wanted for nothing while we were there. We enjoyed lots of long hilly walks with the fam through the neighborhood and spotted wildlife on every adventure! Debbie was very helpful throughout the stay and makes the check in/out process extremely simple and easy. She was friendly and quick to respond to any of our questions! We highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a peaceful weekend in Pine!
