The place was lovely, spacious, and immaculate. The kitchen was stocked with every single appliance you could need. We enjoyed our breakfast on the downstairs patio, with the view of the lake surrounded by ducks and hummingbirds. It's only minutes from restaurants, close to various fishing spots, and numerous hiking trails.

The property was exactly what we expected. We loved the location, neighborhood, and proximity to the lake. Having access to the kayak was a very pleasant surprise -- an added bonus! We look forward to returning to Pinetop-Lakeside!

We just got back a few days ago from our Pinetop-Lakeside vacation. It was our first time using Vrbo, and we’re happy to report that our stay in Paul’s and Gayle’s townhome by the lake was incredible. The location of the home is perfect; two of the bedrooms and the deck face Rainbow lake so each morning we woke up to a breathtaking view. It was just my husband and our two dogs, but there was clearly more than enough space for a bigger family. It was spacious, clean, cozy, and a perfect getaway from the desert heat. The kitchen was fully supplied with dishes, glasses, and the necessary utensils to prepare a family meal, as well as miscellaneous necessities like plastic wrap, etc. Paul and Gayle are a VERY pet-friendly hosts. Our dogs are old and one is terminally ill, so we were very grateful that they welcomed both of them and even shared a large kennel during our stay. Our dogs are part of our family, and they seemed very comfortable. This is one of the main reasons why we chose this home. We highly recommend going on walks by the lake and sitting on the deck with a nice cup of tea/coffee and just enjoy a peaceful moment watching the ducks and other wildlife. And if you like fishing, this is the place for it. This was a very meaningful wedding anniversary gift to ourselves with the aim of spending precious time with our canine “babies”. It was perfect.

We truly enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful.

My wife and I went up there many times in the past but since she past away 6 years ago it’s been awhile, my sister and I went up last year and again this year, in all the times I’ve been there it has always been great, Paul is a great person to deal with, very knowledgeable and helpful in all aspects of the rental, would definitely recommend it and do to whom ever I talk to that’s planning a vacation. Thanks for everything Paul I’ll be talking to you again next year.

VERY nice property. One exception is protected birds (swallows and Geese). They can be very messy. The owner does everything he can to minimize the issue. We were very impressed with caring and considerate effort to make our stay enjoyable.

What a relaxing and fun time. Thank you Paul, everything was great.

Great location in a great-to-walk around neighborhood. The property is a good value for a short vacation.
