The property is great with a huge deck that looks out over the Mongolian Rim and lots of space - you feel like you are the only one on the mountain! The house was a bit musty because I think it hadn't been used in a while but once we opened up the windows for the day it was fine. Just a heads up to bring your own spices as there are very few but otherwise the kitchen was well stocked.

Stay was great did see alot of wild animals. My kids enjoyed the tree house. All in all was a good stay. Alot of nice hiking and site seeing was close weather was perfect. Would stay again!Only cons I do have was the down stairs tv did not work and upon arrival the batteries were dead. We got the upstairs tv to work. In all place was clean but if you do look closer there was room for improvement on the cleaning. But nothing world ending. Towels in the bathroom did have a smell to them but we did wash them.

Perfect Getaway

We loved our stay here! The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Our 5 year old spent lots of time in the amazing treehouse. Such a cool set up. We would definitely visit again.

Great location and view

We had a nice stay. Would consider renting again. We struggled with the hard beds, a bit. It was very quiet. The view of the rim is terrific. Loved eating breakfast on the deck. The treehouse is very cute and kids would love it.

Stress free & relaxing!!

Spent 4 nights and would have loved to have spent 4 weeks. Beautiful views off the back deck, peaceful, stress free way to relax. Cabin was well furnished and very comfortable. Enjoyed seeing elk every day come right up to the cabin and even had a bunch of javelina show up the first night around the fire pit. Would definitely rent again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin.

Awesome views

This was our second time staying there. The kids love the treehouse! Love the open kitchen with the huge island for everyone to gather for meals and hours of games! Sitting on the huge deck with coffee and just admiring the amazing view was a favorite for all.

Great time

We stayed with our family and our kids loved the treehouse. It was like their own little house with AC and heat in it. They stayed in there the whole time. Perfect quiet neighborhood and fishing and hiking nearby. Will certainly be staying here in the future

Fun family trip!

We had so much fun and made some wonderful memories here! Nicely updated cabin. Kids loved the treehouse, it was plenty warm in the winter. Lots of kitchen and counter space. We enjoyed sitting around the large island to eat and play games. WiFi worked well. Would definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic views and great place to get away from it all

Views from the porch of the Mogollon rim and surrounding area are stunning. A short walk down the road are hiking trails and the Tonto National forest. Many other hiking trailheads in the area are a short drive away. The nearby East Verde River is very scenic. We enjoyed sitting around the nice fire pit almost every night. Kitchen has all the necessities and more and the propane BBQ grill was great to cook steaks.

Spring break

9 year old daughter had a blast with the tree house. Great views and relaxing. If the weather had cooperated we could have gone out and dome some hiking and exploring. Would go back, but during a warmer part of the year so we could be outside more.

Beautiful area in the woods on a hill. Had javelina and elk walk through the yard. Great view to a mountain range straight off patio. Close enough to Payson if you forgot something

Wowzerz and PRICELESS memories!

Amazing cabin, tree house and what a priceless experience for our family! The views are as if you are right in the forest! Highly suggest this cabin and the kiddos loved the tree house! *Only suggestion would be more lights at night time in the front yard and yard areas....not sure if its a town ordinance but it was very dark

4/10 Poor

Liked: Location
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Upon check in, we immediately noticed the facility had not been properly cleaned. The fridge was dirty and had two dead insects in it; the oven was dirty, the dishes had grease all over them; the sponges smell badly (requiring a 10 mile trip each way to store for cleaning supplies). The message was immediately sent to the host and no response for two days at which time the response was simply sorry for the delay but they were having issue with the VRBO app but the matter would be addressed. The amenities were poor at best. I have stay at many VRBO locations and this by far was the worst. The noisy floors was especially nuisance at night. There is room for improvement.

Nature calls

This is a super cozy cabin in a prime location! We stayed a week and everything was perfect. Secluded without any visible neighbors and the back deck has a beautiful view. Perfect location and more than accommodating. Kitchen is large and we were a large group. The treehouse was a total hit with the kids and has room to sleep so many. We swam at the water wheel...hiked the bridge crossings...caught some trout...went geode hunting on the property and it was super fruitful. We Had a blast. We had a front row seat to the starlink satelite launchs 3 nights in a row. We were visited by Elk and Havelina and a horned beetle or two. We went bug hunting and caught a massive grasshoper.. if you are looking for some nature in your life this is the prime location for relaxtion! We will be back!

Would definitely stay again

Came here for a birthday trip with a group of five was able to communicate with the host prior to coming in order to make sure we had everything we needed. They were very friendly and understanding.Lots of space for larger groups, the way everything I set up is very conversation/family oriented nice area to hang out upstairs very kid friendly. Made for amazing memories and very cozyif there were a few things I were to just notate one the dirt road onto the property could probably take some by surprise. It’s a very easy drive during the dry summers, but it was a little unexpected. Some of the mattresses were very hard but lots of pillows and blankets in storage when needed. very minor details that could be improved for example; You could tell that the floors weren’t cleaned properly and that some items in the home have been left from prior guests but some do come in handy.was very easy to make meals for a group using provided items in the house, very nice that they had pots, pans, toasters, blenders, etc.Very nice view treehouse is definitely perfect for the younger kids. Good little hangout space wasn’t used very much with my specific group but would be amazing for a family trip.No cell service in the area but as soon as Wi-Fi is connected, the Wi-Fi runs greatThe area and overall set up of the home makes for a great peaceful getaway for all ages, nice and secluded, but everything is easily accessible when needed.Thank you for having us!
