Overall the trip was great away from the city scenery was pretty ,breathe of fresh air the house was comfortable right above the creek kids had a lot of fun
The description of the cabin is right on! The screened in porch faces the river and it's the perfect place to have your morning coffee! The beds are comfy, and the bathrooms and kitchen were immaculate. We were very happy staying in the cabin and hope to come back again!
Perfect size getaway, river is chocolate this time of year, but still a beautiful, tree-lined waterway. Convenient access to lots of northern Arizona lakes and trails plus Payson amenities. Julie was a helpful, friendly host. Highly recommend.
We are very local to the area but wanted to "unplug" if you will from everything and this was the perfect spot. Cows roaming around, river flowing, friendly neighbors, just overall a nice little spot to get away! Will be coming back to visit.
Excellent! Beautiful location, the river is right out the back fence. There is an open walkway along the river, which is very nice to walk. The house has a nice layout, a great oven with all of the pans and utensils. The screened in room was the highlight for me, being outdoors with an excellent view, without bugs. Quiet nights with fresh air, it was restful and relaxing, just what I needed!
Host was very helpful in making arrangements for my older family members. She was always responsive and made check-in easy. Other family members stayed nearby and the grandkids got to fish in the river. Fun was had by all, Thank you!
The property was clean & had everything necessary for a nice stay. The full size kitchen is great and the enclosed porch is very large and it is nice to be able to sit and listen to the birds and the flowing river. I would definitely stay there again.
Loved staying here! Short drive from the valley, and a good 20-30 degrees cooler than Mesa! Being alongside a small river, the temps are even a bit lower than Payson. It was very close to downtown Payson, but felt very secluded since you just see one neighbors house and nothing but forest and the river below from the wonderful screened in back porch. Super clean and well equipped for short or long stays. Would love to stay here again in the future.
We are new to the area. My wife and myself retired last year. We moved to the Phoenix area in January.We celebrated our 46 th anniversary at this cabin. Everything was great cabin was clean comfortable and cozy I would highly recommend to anyone and will be coming back hopefully this fall.Thanks for having us.

A Peaceful Getaway
Found the cabin to be clean, well equipped and peaceful. We can't wait to go back during the dog days of summer. The screened in porch was wonderful. We liked the fact that our dog could run around within the fenced yard. We enjoyed our weekend getaway and we'll be back!
This little cabin is so cozy with the fireplace going while it was cold outside. Great after hiking the trails right from the backyard. The kitchen has all the basics utensils to cook meals. Would be even better if there was snow.

East Verde River Cabin - Loved it!
We spent three nights in this great cottage. The updates to the cottage are very nicely done. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. We loved hiking along the river, relaxing in the yard and in the screened porch, as well as exploring the surrounding area. Ken and Ardith are great hosts and made us feel very welcome. We hope to make a return visit!
It's all about the river. Watch and listen to the East Verde in the Arizona room. Walk downstream and meet the cows. Enjoy a cozy evening in front of the gas fireplace. Then get a good night's sleep in this quiet neighborhood. Restful.
This cabin was the perfect getaway for my 13 year old son and I to reconnect, fish and truly decompress. It was absolutely perfect and extremely welcoming. The location couldn’t have been better. We walked out the backyard gate and we were at the East Verde River. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay. We will be back next year!!

Wonderful stay!
The cabin was great, and the surroundings were even greater. Its located right on the riverfront with beautiful scenery and fishing. The cabin was fully equiped with everything we needed. Ken, the owner, is super friendly and helpful. On the day we arrived he was out of town, but he made sure his cleaning lady stopped by to make sure we settled in and had everything. Overall, we really loved his place and enjoyed our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Julie or Rand Brown
We have owned several vacation homes in the Metro Phoenix since 2007. Owning another in the cool north is a dream we've had for several years.
Why they chose this property
This property was a vacation home set up by the previous owners. They had excellent reviews and tell us it was easy to rent.
What makes this property unique
Main views look out on the river with no one else in view. There are lovely neighbors but they are not too close. Watch the deer and elk stroll by in the day and starry skies at night.
