About this property
Top of the Rim Cabin + Tree House, Amazing Views!
Mountain top cabin in the Whispering Pines community with breathtaking rim views and an architecturally designed, two-tier TREE HOUSE. Enjoy Nature comfortably in this Fully Remodeled Vacation Cabin surrounded by Ponderosa Pines. The numerous Outdoor amenities for the whole family are a great contrast to the indoors, centered on relaxing, lounging, and putting your cares away. While blissfully secluded, Payson is only 10 miles down the road, along with Tonto Natural Bridge, a variety of restaurants, antique shops, and of course, Walmart.

The space:
Before you step out of nature and inside this fully remodeled Cabin, check out the TREE HOUSE: Fully permitted and certified by a Structural Engineer, this Tree house mansion is every kids dream, fully insulated with central air, 2 levels of fun, game table, couch, and triple bunk bed.
Return to the Cabin and the Dark hardwood flooring throughout. Vaulted ceilings. Ground Level features the Kitchen, Family room, 2 Bedrooms, and a Full Bathroom. Downstairs is an Open Gameroom/Playroom, another bedroom and bathroom, storage room with Laundry facilities and an extra Refrigerator/Freezer. Throughout the house Large Viewing Windows bring in the Natural Light. Kitchen: Large kitchen island with a Tiger wood counter top, the surrounding kitchen has Alaskan crystal speckled Granite, farmhouse sink, white shaker style cabinetry, Stainless steel gas stove, French door refrigerator/Freezer, and built-in dishwasher. Upstairs bathroom's Tub/shower is surrounded by custom tile work, Hidden in the downstairs bathroom shower tiles are two arrowheads, see if you spot them! The commercial tank-less water heater provides an endless supply of hot water. All guests could shower in a row without running out. Central A/C and Heat, Wood burning fireplace on the Main floor. Be sure to stop and grab a bundle of firewood on your way up so you can enjoy the fireplace!
Upstairs bedroom 1 has a queen bed (BRAND NEW MATTRESS 12/22), desk, and walk-in closet. Bedroom 2 has a bunk bed with a full mattress on the bottom, twin on top, closet. Downstairs bedroom is the largest with walk-in closet, queen bed (BRAND NEW MATTRESS 12/22), reclining lounge chair and its own entrance to the lower outdoor deck. Game room has a table w/chairs and TV. High Speed Wi-Fi can handle multiple people streaming Netflix. For extra sleepers, the storage room has a full mattress and twin mattress (pull them right into the game room). Lots of extra pillows, blankets, sheets, and sleeping bags available.
Outdoor amenities include: field for sports, fire pit with seating and back deck with two tables and chairs for outdoor eating accommodates large groups, 6 burner gas grill with propane provided, circular driveway fits multiple cars, and it's hard to find a spot on the property without expansive views .
Geode Hunting in almost every direction. Hike down the road to the Verde River for trout fishing and swimming spots, numerous trails and exploring. Water wheel Falls/Ellison Creek Swimming hole is only 2 miles away! Tonto Natural Bridge is less than a 15 mile drive. Woods Canyon Lake and Willow Springs are about 30 miles away.
City of Payson has a noise ordinance starting at 10pm (11pm for unincorporated areas). Loud music, scream laughing, drinking into the late hours are not acceptable. Thank you.

About the host
Hosted by Andrew
We are a very busy family of six who loves to escape it all and enjoy some quiet time in nature. This cabin has been a huge blessing and allowed us time to just relax and be together.
Why they chose this property
We originally bought this property to renovate and then sell, but once we completed the renovations (and two-story tree house), we just couldn't let it go.
What makes this property unique
There are so many wonderfully updated details in our property. The kitchen, bathrooms and living spaces are modern, yet comfortable and inviting. The tree house, completed in 2018, is fun for the entire family, but the kids will absolutely ADORE it and you will adore how much time they spend entertained by it! You will not find another tree house like this. Our absolute favorite thing, though, is the wrap around porch with spectacular, uninterrupted views of the Mogollon Rim! Take a book outside or just sit and watch the woodpeckers fly around. You won't regret it.
