A cozy A-Frame cabin near Lynx Lake, set on an acre in the Prescott National Forest. The cabin is off the grid, and we operate on a water tank & solar. Lynx Creek runs through the property and its 1/8 of a mile back in the forest, yet only 15 minutes from downtown Prescott. Wonderful for those who love the outdoors and a quiet rustic getaway... yet close to town if you want more. There are only four cabins in the vicinity. They sit on 20 acres of Ponderosa Pine, Oak, Juniper and Arizona Aspen that are surrounded by the Prescott National Forest.

Really enjoyed our stay. Definitely off the beaten path. Perfect break from the heat, hustle and bustle back home. Cabin had all that we needed for our stay and more. We really only needed to supply our own wood and food/drink. The absence of mosquitos was very pleasant. Would stay longer if we could.
We spent our Christmas week here and enjoyed every moment, it was so cozy sitting by the fireplace while playing boardgames and enjoying eachothers time while both our dogs just chilled with us. I proposed to my now fiance there and will definitely be back to make more memories. The owner Sona was super nice and very helpful, the comuncation was great when i had questions, once again thank you Sona!
To say our stay at the lovely "Rustic Retreat" was everything we'd hoped it would be, is an extreme understatement!Everything was perfect....and so much better than the pictures portrayed . We spent most of our time outdoors...nestled among the ponderosa pines....soaking in the sun and the crisp mountain air. Inside was cozy and intimate....just right for we two. All the amenities were well thought out as well....and Sona was an amazing host.Cant wait to do it again....we will be back!
What a lovely host to make sure everything was set up for our family of five! The cabin was clean and cozy, great space to hang out together and explore the creek running through the property. We watched the deer come by in the morning as we had coffee. Such a great place to unplug and relax.
My wife and I wanted a one night quick getaway and this was perfect. Off grid so you can really just be in the moment and yet still close to so many things to do. Cute place, secluded (there are few other cabins nearby but only a couple had people in them) and we were able to enjoy a nice evening fire as well as a morning fire too. We really enjoyed our stay and Sona the host is very communicative!
Great overnight stay. Exactly what we were looking for - quiet, cozy, and relaxing.
If you're looking to get away from technology and log out this is the place. Bring board games, battery radio/music speakers, food and just chill.
(Cell service isn't ideal and be prepared).
PEACEFUL! If I had to use one word, that would be it.Cute little cabin back in the woods with no distractions.We were looking for relaxation and solitude and we found it.It’s off the beaten path, so I recommend a truck or at least an all wheel drive vehicle. It’s close to everything. You can walk to Lynx Lake and Whiskey Row is a short drive.But we spent 90% of our time right there at the cabin.Sippin’ bourbon by the fire and drinking coffee while the sun came up.
Our stay was magical. We loved every minute of it. To getting up early and hearing the birds and wind blow in the trees, to the nignt sky and sounds of the fire. We spent the days at lynx lake to cool down and relax. We took a couple trips down to whiskey row to on of our favorite bakeries. Every night we got a very special greeting from one of the sweetest dogs named sky a very friendly neighbors dog. We can't wait to book another stay. Absolutely perfect. No phones, no internet, no tv, just talking and enjoying eachothers company and making memories. We loved it so much. Sona gave perfect directions and was available if needed but overall we figured everything out easily, thanks to the step by step directions. Thank you so much. We will for sure be back again.
The location is beautiful and the house is clean, however, there was a snake crawling around in the couch and we didn’t feel comfortable staying after discovering that. Also, the lake is at least a 25-35 minute walk (we tried walking there both via the dry creek bed as well as the road), not 10 minutes as advertised in the listing. The main reason I chose this property was to access the lake, and it took us a little over 30 minutes each way to walk there. There was also a heavy unsecured metal pole that fell on top of my dog and injured her. I would definitely be extra careful if you choose to bring small children or pets here.
Perfect escape in the forest. It was a fun adventure for the whole family. The cabin is lovely and the surrounding forest was beautiful and peaceful.

Very Misleading
Directions to cabin were vague. Dirt road to cabin was much longer than expected and treacherous.You would not want to drive in the dark. Cabin was cute and clean.Decided not to stay because temperature in cabin was 95-100 degrees with only portable fans that were ineffective. It would have been very uncomfortable to sleep.
We loved the cabin. As an architect i really loved this little gem. Its perfectly designed and feels larger that it is. We loved being off grid wirh just the sound of the wind, birds and occasional coyote. Che k in is very easy and host is easy to communicate with. Its a great place to unwind. We will definitely come back again.
Cool little property had everything we needed for a short stay. Kids loved watching the birds and squirrels at feeders. Nice place to unplug and unwind.

Beautiful property, fully surrounded by the woods with other cabins a decent distance away for a safer feeling. Perfect place for if you have dogs and the surrounding area is very open. The host, Sona was very friendly and communicated everything regarding the trip perfectly. Would love to visit again in the future :)
We've stayed in a lot of different VRBO's in all kinds of different places. Rustic Serenity wins our vote for the overall best experience!! On top of most unique, quaint and comfortable!!! This is like camping at its absolute BEST!!! Our family of 4 had a WONDERFUL time at this place. You want to treat it as your own because it feels like your own! Sona, you are a GREAT host and we appreciate you and your cabin very much!! Looking forward to when we come back to visit again and again!!! Thank you, truly, for a GREAT time, would have loved to stay longer!!!
