Amazing mountain getaway!

What a great way to celebrate Father’s Day! This cabin nestled in the woods was the best we’ve stayed at. It was so nice to have a fully stocked home away from home and with friendly wildlife that greet us daily. Mark and Tracy are amazing hosts and immediately available for anything and everything you need. We highly recommend staying at this relaxing cabin in the woods.

Amazing cabin at the base of the Mogollon Rim!

We loved our stay at the cabin. It was clean, had all the listed amenities, and is in a secluded and beautiful neighborhood. The hosts were incredibly hospitable. It is the perfect place to stay to relax and explore the Mogollon Rim. We definitely hope to be back!

Friendly squirrels and fresh baked bread

My boyfriend and I loved our stay at this cabin. When we arrived the hosts had left us a fresh loaf of baked bread and had the hot tub ready for us on arrival. We’re very excited to come back and spend another weekend out here and we love the friendly squirrels and birds that surround the property!

Perfect Cozy Getaway in Nature

Our stay at this cabin was absolutely wonderful! The scenery was breathtaking, with beautiful views all around and plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature. The area was peaceful and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind.We loved spotting wildlife, especially the variety of birds and playful squirrels—it was amazing to watch them throughout our stay. The cabin itself was incredibly cozy, well-stocked, and had everything we could possibly need. The fireplace made the evenings extra warm and inviting, and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax while taking in the serene surroundings.If you're looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, this is the perfect spot.

Great cabin!

What a great cabin! We stayed for a long weekend getaway from the valley and enjoyed everything about our stay. The cabin is very clean, has a comfy king sized bed and all amenities you could possibly think of. We had so much joy feeding the animals that came to visit every morning and the owners even dropped off extra nuts and corn. Mark was a great communicator before and during our trip. We will definitely come back again!

Wonderful weekend getaway!

We really loved this cabin! The cabin and the surroundings were beautiful and cozy. There was great communication with the host. The host had a hand written note, homemade bread and homemade jam in the cabin waiting for us. They are features that don’t generally occur with VRBO homes. We would stay at this property again. Thank you for the accommodations.

Soul Nourishment

This place was everything it claims and more. The views are absolutely stunning from the large windows and back deck. Not another home in site from that direction. My wife and I went looking for some Soul Nourishment, and we definitely went to the right place! So relaxing and comfortable. The hosts were amazing about letting us be, including when they brought us some supplies we lacked, and instead of coming in when we weren't there, left them on the front porch for us. I've been to a few VRBOs, in a couple of states, This one was absolutely the BEST, without contest! We will definitely stay again!

Beyond all expectations

This place is fantastic. It checked all our boxes. The host were fantastic and easy to communicate with. The home was well stocked, cleaned and smelled great lol. King bed was super comfy!! The property backs up to the forest with forest access. Hiking is incredible. The creeks are so accessible and it wasn’t crazy busy. Of all the places we have stayed this one really was the best. The extra touches like early check-in, late check-out and superb cheesecake as a welcome gift were like the cherry on top. Thank you 🙏

Wow, what can I say? Beautiful area, well appointed cabin AND greeted by the coolest variety of wildlife upon entrance. I have stayed at a vast variety of cabins in and around Arizona, and this is easily one of my favorites. Tv already set up with firestick, surround sound, quality beds, new hot tub and an amazing view… we will be back!
