Absolutely beautiful view of the creek from the house and porch. The house was very clean, with modern upgrades. A lot of outdoor activity available near by like fishing, hiking, swimming holes with water falls, and geode hunting. Highly recommend this property if you like being out of town in the pine trees. We will definitely go back again.

Delightful and very comfortable renovated two-story home situated above a lovely East Verde wide babbling creek. The river view was not impeded in anyway.It was clean with many amenities left by the owner and perhaps by previous guests.Our family enjoyed the covered deck where we ate most meals. We plan to return in the future. The best surprise was the immediate availability with the managing host Paul who responded to our every need with wisdom and kindness.

The setting is beautiful and the home comfortable with the sweetest views. The river behind is more like a babbling creek. We slept well at night - it was peaceful and the beds were firm and warm. We hiked the Water Wheel Trail to see the falls and also tried a few other trails. If you are a hiker or bird watcher we recommend this location. We saw bald eagles and black hawks plus. Payson is cute and has a few shopping and eating places. We are pleased we found this home and look forward to returning soon. Thanks to our hosts AZ Vacation Home Rentals.
