We had a great time here enjoying the beautiful riverside property.

This is an excellent location, with easy access to the river. Great backyard. Nice setup with upstairs bedroom with TV lounge and a complete living room downstairs. Bring a 1/8-inch audio cable, you can plug into the Bose radio. But the highlight is still the river, the backyard, and the deck. Very quiet and relaxing. Can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful surroundings and location. Backyard stream was amazing. Very cozy cabin, but if you stay upstairs be prepared to go up and down the stairs to use the one restroom on 1st floor. Also, we could not get the pellet stove to work. Other than that, wonderful experience.

Great anniversary getaway. Very quiet and peaceful. Great local hiking (waterwheel trail). Don’t expect a local market but not that far to drive to payson. We like soft beds (unlike most people) so for US the bed was hard and we slept on the hideaway bed 2 out of 3 nights. Still a great memorable weekend.

The cabin was clean and comfortable. It worked perfectly for the two of us. We did cook while there but the kitchen was well stocked if we had needed to. Didn’t spend a lot of time at the cabin due to activities planned but enjoyed our time there. Quite area and it tucked away.

Nice cabin on a stream that leads to the Verde River. On line description was accurate. Gabriel, the cabin’s owner was an excellent communicator. Good experience.

It snowed while we were there, it was wonderful. The stream is juat outside a few steps from the back porch. Close to Payson and down the road from lots of hiking. Would definitely stay again.

If you want nature then this is the spot. My best friend and I wanted a quick get away and didn’t want to be in the busy part of Payson. We found Gabriel’s cabin and it was exactly what we were looking for. The backyard looks like a little piece of a story book. The creek behind the home was an amazing to place to go find a rock to go sit in and relax. We spent our time exploring the nearby areas and the rest at the cabin. We cooked a lot and just enjoyed the rustic feel of the cabin itself. The cookware and coffee were all very much appreciated. Thank you got a lovely stay! We can’t wait to make this our go to get away.

This cabin is beautiful! The only negative was there was no TV downstairs and the one in the loft wasn't hooked up to anything. But my husband and I had a blast playing Crazy 8's. Didn't even know we would have fun playing cards! Been together since 2008! We didn't want to leave!!!! We will rent again!!!

Blackberry Cabin is a perfect escape to nature. We enjoyed being right on the river and exploring the area. The cabin had plenty of space for us to sleep including really comfy couches and our hosts were very communicative and welcoming. We hope to visit again someday.

Beautiful cabin. The kids loved having the creek right out back even with it snowing through our entire stay. The cabin was cozy and warm. Loved the pellet stove!

We really enjoyed the cabin. It was well supplied and they even gave us a special pancake mix and blackberry jam. The view outback is lovely with a walk down to the river/creek.

The description of the cabin was spot on! Beautiful location, nestled in pines with the sound of the East Verde River directly behind the cabin. The property was well kept and had a nice back yard area adjacent to the river. The host was very responsive to any questions and ensured an enjoyable stay.

Stay stay except ut would have been nice to have a tv in the living area. Owner was wonderful

My best friend and I decided to take a trip to the Payson area to get away from city life and have some time to relax and spend reconnecting. After 50 years of friendship we had never taken a trip together. It was very nice to get away to the BlackBerry cabin. It was comfortable and cozy. The surrounding area is beautiful and the sound of the stream while out on the porch, calming. We enjoyed staying at the cabin and appreciated the attention to detail from homemade blackberry jam to the homemade soap that was lovely. The cabin is a bit rustic and we loved it. The beds were comfortable. Just what we were looking for and Gabriel, the host, was very communicative and kind. We would stay there again, for sure. We loved it!!

The cabin could use some maintenance and a little deep cleaning. Bathroom sink drained too slowly. All inside window frames were very dirty. Many cobwebs. Otherwise, nice place to get away and relax.

Right on the riverside, this cabin fit our needs so well. The best welcoming with homemade Jam and pancake mix, we felt right at home. Perfect for the adventurer, homebody, stargazer, and cook! Everything you need and we felt very secure and safe! 5 stars all around. Thank you , Gabe!

Wonderfully managed "greenscaping" thorough out the property which is at the end of a road, tucked into a bend of the East Verde river. Sitting on a comfortable rear patio, looking over the grassy back yard surrounded by a variety of trees we found the perfect sitting to experience the practice of Forest Bathing as we learned from a book of that title which describes this ancient art developed in Japan.

Overall, a much needed streamfront cabin getaway that exceeded our expectations. The cozy 2 story cabin was beautiful, clean, well decorated and stocked with all key kitchen needs. We didn't use the tv upstairs, however, make good use of the cd/radio player with excellent sound. The location of this cabin is also very special, a good 10-12 miles outside of the busier sections of Payson, much more out in wilderness which is what we were looking for. Once exiting the main road of 87, the the slower scenic drive, with numerous turns, amazing views of the Mogollon Rim is unique journey in itself. We even witnessed a roadrunner, crossing the road in a high desert section of this drive. Sitting out in the backyard in the dark of night, we enjoyed the sounds of the stream/nature, the multitude of stars in the sky and the trees which all came alive in a very memorable/spiritual symphony. Finally, the host/property manager Gabriel was appreciative/caring/concerned/fair/prompt/reliable in addressing any questions. Thank you Gabriel for allowing us to share some special time at your streamfront cabin and for all of your caring, friendly, timely and professional assistance. Made our stay all the better with your high level of assistance and care. All the best!!!

Probably my fault for not vetting this property more thoroughly, like seeing the elk heads on the wall. The place was just too rustic for me. The setting appears very nice and relaxing, and the backyard was just that. The cabin was pretty uncomfortable. The upstairs queen bed was very hard and squeaked with only the minimal of movements. The couch upstairs had some good sagging going on. Since that was the only location for the television, this got uncomfortable quickly. I ended up sleeping on the hid-a-bed downstairs as the best place to sleep, if you can imagine. Also, the only bath is downstairs. The stairs are steep, almost like a ladder, so night time up or down was dangerous. No throw blankets around, only the quilts for the beds and it was cold. The river was very close and I loved hearing the water from the cabin and backyard. Getting to the river was tricky. Once through the gate, the climb down to the river was steep and rocky. Had to hold onto a juniper bush to get down. Once down there, the trail to the left was short, the trail to the right was non existent. I could not see a clear way to the right and the canyon without rock scrambling. I was not willing to take that risk. The location is about 30 minutes from Payson on a winding road. Also, unlocking and locking the entry gate was annoying. So, I will review better next time as this was way too basic and dangerous for me.

My wife and I had stayed here one year ago liked it so much we decided to come back we've stayed at several vrbo's but this is the best for water creek access and quietness

Great cabin… perfect for a weekend getaway. We loved sitting outside listening to the water below.

The cabin itself is nice. The parking is not so great. It lies at the end of a fenced-on-both-sides narrow road, with two spaces to park that are very difficult to back up and around to get out of (I have a Camry, so not a large car). Removing some large rocks, and turning it into a round-about space would eliminate that issue completely, and would not be a real problem if you just plan on remaining in the cabin the entire stay, only having to do the turnaround single time. The air-conditioner works very well in cooling the entire cabin down, despite the 90+ degrees we had while there, and once night falls, can be shut off. Would be more enjoyable to have a large tv downstairs with access to cable, or at least the capability to bring and plug your own devices into for watching, as going up and down the stairs for the bathroom or food/beverages can get tiring, especially after a day of hiking. The landscaped backyard is a beatiful space to sit and enjoy coffee, drinks, or pretty much anything, with the sounds of the river flowing just beyond the fence. The overall experience was very positive. We unplugged, except for music, for most of the 4 nights we stayed. If you are looking to get out of the fast-paced daily living zone, this is definitely the place to do it! We would definitely return!

We so much enjoyed the cozy cabin surrounded in luscious green. A serene and peaceful place with the sound of the flowing stream and the fresh juniper breeze.

We had a delightful time at the Blackberry Cabin. Beautiful space and a just fantastic location! Highly recommended.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon it was amazing the cabin is very clean and spacious with a beautiful backyard full of berries, I can’t wait to come back !

My dream of a stay. I asked for trees and I loved them all. The first todays were very peaceful and quiet. But the neighbor next door decided to clean her yard up. And they started in around 8 am weed eating the whole yard. So there ent the quietness. So it forced us to get out and explore the area. Which was great. We enjoyed going to see the Zane Grey home. Which my husband loves his books. But we had planned just to chill out at the cabin the whole week. We definitely will rebook maybe when there is blackberries in abundance. We did get to see some wild life which we totally loved. Fell in love with Payson. Overall we loved our stay!

Property Mgmt was excellent. Place was remote and beautiful.

Relaxing time. The views from the porch were amazing, the cabin was cleaned and equipped with everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this cabin for anyone looking to relax and unwind.

Is our third time staying at the cabin !!! We love it!! The weather was perfect, cabin is beautiful in and out! Patio and the river in the back , private for us to enjoy! Is the perfect place for a family vacation! We will be back soon!!!

This little cabin had all the basics necessary to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Nestled against the Verde River, the sound of the river was a pleasant companion during my stay. The porch was the perfect place to have my morning tea and enjoy my summer novel. River access was a bit rustic so I recommend sturdy soled “river” shoes to scramble over the rocks. This cabin has a cozy western vibe. Be sure to check out the magazines on the coffee tables!

This is our third time at this property and we continue to love going here. So peaceful and relaxing. Love sitting on the patio listening to the birds and the sound of the water from the stream. Host always goes above and beyond to provide everything we need plus some. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your cabin. We will be back again in the fall.
