Nice place. Quiet and tucked away, but not far from activities, restaurants, etc. Couple small issues that the owners addressed right away.
4.0 / 5.0
Very accommodating for many adults. Real only drawback was the upstairs bedrooms had not enough air conditioning air flow. The fans that were provided were not enough to make it comfortable at night when it was 93 degrees during the day. Upstairs was 10 degrees warmer than downstairs.
5.0 / 5.0
The owners of this place are very quick to respond and very accommodating. The house is so warm and inviting and even had Christmas decorations inside and out. You can tell this place is well cared for. There is PLENTY of seating both upstairs and down and a closet full of games. The beds are warm & comfy and there's lots of extra blankets, just in case you need another layer.
We needed a good size house that could accommodate 7 adults a 1 child and this place truly delivered! One of the best places we've stayed at. We will definitely be back.

We absolutely loved the house. The location was great - we loved sitting on the porch watching the sunrise and found the house to be very comfortable. The master bath is luxurious and the bed was very comfortable! Everything from booking to checking in to communication during our stay was awesome - will definitely stay again next time we visit!!!

Great location, perfect for families
We really enjoyed staying in this unique home. It has a very cute cottage vibe. It was within walking distance to the lake and has a little pond right next to it. My kids loved spending time exploring around the water. We would definitely stay here again.

The TREE House
Overall the house and our stay was very nice. The decor was interesting with the tree feature in the living room and other nature themed features around the house. The outside was overgrown with weeds and bushes that needed trimming badly. Found out that their caught covid and was not able to clean the property for a few months. He did show up as we were leaving. A little disappointed that the pond was dry but that was outside of anybodys control. The house was fairly clean and the beds were comfortable. The biggest down side was the closets and most of the dresser drawers were full of cloths to include underwear. Seems like this is standard since I have seen this in other VRBO's we had stayed in. The owner was very responsive to any questions and issue we had and did her best to correct them right away. We would definitely return but the decor was not our style. Thanks Shannon!

Long weekend cut short
The house was great, spacious and very well stocked.
Unfortunately, we had to leave very abruptly because 2 members of our party were in a terrible bike/car accident. Host Shannon was fantastic, crediting us with the night we didn't stay, and following up to see how the guys were doing.
There was an initial mix-up with the cleaning crew on the dates for cleaning, so the place hadn't been cleaned when we arrived. Shannon acted fairly quickly to have them come in while we went out for dinner, which is why I gave only 4 stars for cleanliness.

I didn't care for the tree in the living room or the moss over the lights in the downstairs bedroom. Needs a new mattress in upstairs master bedroom. Over all it was ok though. Shannon was very nice to work with.

Cute house, nice get away
Nice home, owner very responsive, she even ensured we had fishing poles and a tackle box when she found out my kids really wanted to go fishing on our trip! Air conditioning was a huge plus during the unseasonably hot weather. Jacuzzi was a great touch and was immaculate as was the rest of the home. Kitchen fully stocked, fridge was pristinely clean. A few little fixes needed like sliding glass door locks not in proper working order and one bathroom has a running toilet but those things paled in comparison to the rest of the great things. Great central Pinetop location, close to (driving distance) hiking, fishing, etc. Would stay again!

Beautiful Quaint Home
We so enjoyed our stay..the home was perfect, the ambiance of the interior was so beautifully decorated, everything you could possibly need. Shannon was always readily available and kind. The lake views were beautiful, even with the drought and wildfires. Would highly recommend this property you will not be disappointed our stay was full of great memories that we will cherish and definitely stay again when we visit the area next year.

Cottagecore Vibes with Plenty of Amenities
We had a bigger group of about 7 adults stay together for an extended weekend. We had an amazing time! The hot tub, the front porch swing, the grill, the generally nice layout and amenities were all just what we needed. It was a beautiful place with a cottage-core vibe to it. The group appreciated seeing the wildlife, hanging out in the hottub, and making use of the Roku to watch programming together after a long day. The kitchen is well featured, so we had plenty of what we needed to cook and enjoy ourselves. Will definitely consider staying here again!

Lovely Home
We enjoyed a wonderful few days at the Cottage at Frog Pond. The home is very spacious with great comfy beds. We loved the views of the pond and watching the ducks and geese and snow falling. Gorgeous photo opportunities. Shannon was so helpful with any questions or needs we had.
Thank you!

Beautiful vacation home for family vacation
Home was truly lovely and equipped with everything. House was clean and comfortable for a family of 7. Our family spent most of our time on the porch enjoying the wonderful breeze. Would highly recommend this property.

It met our needs
The size of the home was nice and we enjoyed the decks. It was fun being next to a pond. The home had the space and things we needed. The bathrooms smelt fresh and clean. Unfortanetly the home wasnt very clean, the floors needed a deep cleaning, it was somewhat dusty through the home andd it would have been nice to have pans that were in better shape and that did not stick. But overall the home met our needs for the short period we were there.

Such a nice little retreat- loved all the things about it. I would only recommend maybe more towels but otherwise it was fully stocked and perfect for our two families we would 100% stay again! The host was also very responsive and on top of any questions I had.

Hot tub broken
I just returned from my stay yesterday and I had a couple of problems. The owner informed me at check in time that the hot tub was out of order. I drove 4 hrs to get to the property for my birthday and had specifically looked for a property with a hot tub and I walked through the front door and got a text saying it was out of service she said that they were waiting on servicing for the hot tub but never got back to me after that. If I would have known the hot tub was broken I would have booked another stay for much cheeper because that was my one request for my birthday weekend was to relax in a hot tub. Also there was not enough towels for the amount of guests we had. There were no paper towels. There were spiderwebs all over the patio and a huge pile of bird droppings right outside the side patio door, it had clearly been there for awhile it was at least 6”x6” big. I just think they could have done a better job keeping the outside areas clean, especially coming from the central part of Phoenix where it’s been over 110 outside for the past 50 days we planned on sitting outside the whole time and enjoying the much cooler temps. They said that there was fishing gear and other activities on the property but the garage was such a mess you could barley find anything. I was rather disappointed in these aspects of my stay. The house itself was amazing as well as the location and weather.

Better than we expected
The photos do not accurately depict the beauty of this home or property. It is just stunning. The home is clean, the decorum is simply beautiful, and the grounds are well kept. There are multiple exits to the balcony upstairs, and the porch downstairs is nice too. The pond had water, and we really enjoyed watching the geese. It is minutes away from the lake, which was well stocked. The internet access was high-speed and good quality, so my daughter was able to attend her online classes during the day.
I highly recommend this home away from home to anyone needing a peaceful retreat, without sacrificing any quality of life. My family of three is small, but the house is large enough to accommodate a much larger family. There is a master bedroom upstairs and another one downstairs. Each room is so nicely decorated.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home, Shannon. We will definitely rent from you again!

Great property!
We had a wonderful 5 night stay. The house is only 3 minutes from the boat launch area. The parking area at the house is large gravel so if you have stability issues please be careful as it can make it difficult to walk.

Comfortable property, needs some TLC outside on the patios but AC was a life-saver.
We spent 3 days here in July 2018 - it was 85 degrees in Pinetop at the time so the AC being available at the house was a total life-saver (it only got down to 72 or so in the middle of the night).
The house is older, feels like a well-loved house someone started renting and not a professional rental. Closets and Garage have personal items in them, wear and tear on common items like door hardware, but it's not a big deal. Just an FYI for folks that VRBO/Airbnb a lot and know the difference between professional rental and a personal home.
Kitchen is VERY well stocked, bedding was comfortable, towels were clean but a bit dingy and old - again, this is the 'not a professional rental' aspect.
The water pressure was a NICE surprise... it's awesome for some reason (I've not know Pinetop to be a high-pressure city) but showers were very satisfying.
The 'Pond' isn't really a pond... it's looks like a runoff/drainage area out front of the house and it was empty when we were there. Just be aware if you have thoughts of your kids playing near a pond and having fun.
The property is fairly overgrown so not a grassy clearing for kids to play in.
One downside to the property is that is has a series of disparate patios, all of them small, none of them connected and all of them in need of being re-built due to wood rot. I don't think there is a terribly private/comfortable place to sit outside.
To that point, the hot tub is on the back side of the house sort of back by where you park... which happens to be a small communal parking area facing 4 other houses... you would NEVER have a romantic evening in the hot tub where it currently is.
If you need a comfortable place to sleep and use as a base-station, this place is great. If you are trying to get away into the woods and want to have coffee on the patio and relax in a magazine-esque setting, this isn't the right choice at all.
Fortunately for us, we just needed a base station so it worked.

Quiet and comfortable, everything you need for a relaxing get-away
Everything you need is here. Fully stocked kitchen with all the necessities, and a grill. Fishing poles and kayak were useful for our family. You can walk across the street to the pond, or drive around the corner for full access to Rainbow Lake. We sat on the front porch nightly and enjoyed the cool, clean air. We would stay here again.
