About this property

Mountain Views and Great Fire Pit

1 Bedroom home, with great long-range mountain views. Quiet wooded lot. Great fire pit area. Close to great trails for hiking, ATVs. The house is located on a dirt road. There is parking for at least 4 cars, but a large trailer may be difficult to park.
The master bedroom has a king-size bed. The great room has a Murphy bed with a very comfortable queen size mattress. And, there is also a queen size soft bed. The laundry area also has s a queen-sized air mattress that you can use on the queen size sleeper sofa to help with comfort.
Near the fire pit is a patio with table and chairs to enjoy the views.

There MAY be a FIRE BAN in place when you are interested in coming. Please check the Tonto Forest web site for alert ban status at https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/tonto/alerts-notices
I will have a sign on the fire pit if I know there is a ban in place. But, it changes often, according to the weather, etc. I do not control the state fire ban laws. Safety is important!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! We loved the woodsy decor, the open floor plan, and the big bedroom with a very comfortable king- size bed. The outdoor area had comfortable chairs, a nice grill and fire pit, and great views of the hills. We would definitely stay here again! It’s only a few miles to Payson and close to a lot of the outdoor activities we wanted to experience.

Lovely home in a quiet area. The pictures on the website are exactly as the house looks. Loved sitting on the patio watching the sunrise, sharing our space with the birds, the elk herd and the friendly neighborhood dogs. The king size bed was very comfortable.We enjoyed our stay a lot.

The king bed was super comfy and the kitchen had everything you could want. The nice small touches like the dog bed, bowl set, and dog treats were a wonderful extra touch. We had a great stay and the area was lovely with lots of dog friendly restaurants, parks, and hikes.

Fantastic trip

Our 3 night stay was fantastic . The furniture and decor was amazing and very comfortable. Each morning we had coffee on the deck to plan our day. Perfect distance from Payson area making it convenient for restaurants, antiquing, thrift shopping and hiking. Hope to go back again.

About the host

Hosted by Faye Hamilton

Host profile image
I live in Star Valley and commute to Phoenix to work. I love to travel and there are so many places that I have visited throughout the United states and Canada. There is a simplicity that has come over time with frequent travel, a friendliness to kindred spirit travelers. I like things clean and neat. I will prepare my home for others that way, and leave it that way when I travel. I will gladly share great places in this region to explore and would love suggestions to me, as well, when I visit as a guest elsewhere.

What makes this property unique

This home is located in a very quiet neighborhood. It is approximately 1 and a half hours outside of Phoenix, but far enough away to provide much better weather.
