Located this property on VRBO about a month out from our visit. The home stood out due to the newness of the structure and the value of the rate per night. We were not disappointed. The drive from Phoenix was very reasonable considering we left town after work. The drive up through Payson was very scenic and we encountered much less traffic than a similar drive up the 17 to Sedona on a Friday afternoon. We were greeted by a herd of Elk on the way into the neighborhood and several deer were already in the yard when we arrived. We felt right at home. This property is more custom home than cabin. Very roomy, and all the comforts of modern conveniences with the feeling of camping in the tall pines. Within minutes of unpacking the car, we were cooking steaks on the grill and enjoying smores on the fire pit on the deck. Quiet secluded area with lots of opportunities for woodland creature sightings. Close to Payson and Strawberry. Downtown Pine is less than 5 minutes away. Owner was very accessable and had great recommendations. This was just such a great place to unwind, recharge, and enjoy the clean cool air. Temps were between 60 and 85 the entire weekend. A definite improvement from 110 when we left Phoenix. A well deserved break from the heat of the valley. Nearby forest lined lakes and sweeping views of rim country definitely opened our eyes to this region of AZ. Highly recommend the area and this rental property.

The cabin was just what we were looking for...a beautiful getaway in the pines. It was very comfortable for our family with all the ammenties! Loved sitting on the front porch with coffee in the mornings and the deck in the afternoons. Perfect location!! Brad was wonderful to work with...highly recommend!!

Loved our stay. We brought our teenage granddaughter with us. We shopped and enjoyed the wildlife. We actually saw a calf elk nursing. The house was amazing! Thanks.

Lovely very comfortable property.

It is exactly as advertised. Nestled in a quiet beautiful community that is close to hiking and Tonto National Park.

Great spot!

4 night stay for a Mother's Day trip; 1 night with my granddaughters (2) and 3 nights just me and my husband. Loved the cabin! Clean, updated, great location with a family of Elk visiting each evening. Lots of small local shops and family owned restaurants. Lots of hiking trails. Loved the cabin so much! Will be staying there again next May!!.

Very nice place. Had everything we needed. Very nice deck to sit on with a propane fire table. Had lots of elk come through the property. Would stay there again!
