Lovely, well-equipped, cottage-like place. The outside patio area is wonderful! The hosts thought of absolutely everything to make the place a "home away from home." And they couldn't have been nicer. We will stay here again!

This was our second time staying at A Shore Thing and I knew it was exactly what I needed. The property is so welcoming and tastefully decorated. I chose this place this time for the tranquility as I needed space to work through a recent loss. It was good for my soul. Our hosts were more than understanding about my needs. Don and Candy love to socialize with their guests and are great company. We plan on returning in the not too distant future and will plan on spending more time with these lovely people.

Lovely welcoming cottage. The owners Candy and Don have literally thought of every little thing to make your stay memorable. They had a lovely bottle of sparking rose for our 20th anniversary. We felt so celebrated and special. We had an amazing, relaxing and restful time. We will definitely be back. Thank you Don and Candy

The house was lovely--beautifully decorated with everything we could need! The front yard was a gorgeous, shaded, private area to relax. And the hosts were the kindest people you could meet! They were very caring, helpful, and all-around delightful! We would definitely return and recommend this place to others.

It was an amazing stay. Don and Candy are great hosts. You become instant friends with them as soon as you meet them. Sitting out on the patio in the morning and evenings were very special. Staying at "It's a shore thing" was like coming home. The unit is stocked with everthing you need on your stay. Just bring yourself, your significant other and your food and you are good. Make sure you ask them to tell you the Bronco story.

It is a charming mountain cabin in a quiet, rural neighborhood. The owners greeted us & showed us how everything worked. They were available at any time needed during our stay. The home had every necessity & the hosts provided a bottle of wine & popcorn to go with their extensive DVD collection. It was close to downtown Payson & only about 8 miles to Pine & 10 from Strawberry. Excellent stay & highly reccommend it for a restful stay in a lovely setting.

We were very pleased with this little get away and would not have changed a thing. Sweet romantic get away for two and the owners are wonderful. As an introvert I avoids new people at all costs, but these owners make you feel like you have known them a lifetime and know exactly the amount of privacy people need…They are on point for hospitality!!! We highly recommend.

This cozy little cottage was the perfect place for me to escape for a long weekend. Candy & Don have thought of everything you may need! Right down to the bottle of wine, breakfast muffins & popcorn for movie-watching. You have your own patio with a gas grill & fire table, perfect for sitting out with a glass of wine & watching the leaves fall. The bed is comfy & they have a well-stocked DVD library right at hand. The neighborhood is a bit off the beaten path & is very quiet, but just a short drive from Payson. I almost don’t want to say too much because I want to keep it for myself!

A Shore Thing is a delightful, intimate cottage just right for two people. The details have been very thoughtfully and tastefully designed and coordinated, and everything there has a story. You will want to spend time there, as the yard and cottage are really inviting, comfortable, and fun. Don and Candy are fabulous hosts. They are personable, knowledgable about the area, and straight-up great people. This place is a real treasure! Ray and Ann Nagell

Everything was awesome. We have no critique or shortfall to mention. Soon and Candy are great hosts, friendly, kind and helpful if you need anything. The cottage was well laid out and roomy with so many cute touches and accents. It was clean comfortable and cozy. It was also located in a quiet, small neighborhood surrounded by beauty out of the town of Payson by about 5 minutes. It is an awesome VRBO. We had a peaceful and relaxing visit. If we are back in the area in the future we will surely look for Don and Candy's VRBO in which to stay again.

Great Good Luck or Fantastic Alignment of All Good Things?

Great Good Luck or Fantastic Alignment of All Good Things?

Both, I would say. This magical little cottage is the “Mother Ship” of all VRBO’s. Spotlessly clean ✅ Beautifully appointed✅ Amazing attention to detail as in top-of-the-line appliances, kitchenware, bedding, mattress, lighting✅✅ Privacy with an enclosed garden/small yard surrounded by plants, herbs, flowers which are, in turn, surrounded by breathtaking rock formations creating a sense of being in one’s own “Valley of the Gods”✅ You will want to stay longer, guaranteed. You might also feel as if the hosts, Don & Candy, have been your dearest friends for years. It’s a very special “Shore Thing.” Laurel J
