About this property

Rainbow Lake Cabin · Lakefront with Kayaks · Sleeps 10 · Dogs Welcome

Wake to birdsong on a pine-lined creek feeding Rainbow Lake. Paddle the included kayaks, walk six minutes to the marina and the bar-grill, toast sunset s'mores around the fire pit. Inside: 75" smart TV, PlayStation, board games, and a zero-gravity massage chair for the end of a long hiking day.

Four bedrooms, three baths, sleeps ten. King in the primary, queens in two guest rooms, and a queen plus two singles in the fourth — works for multi-gen trips. The back of the house opens to a creek and pond with Rainbow Lake just beyond. Fish off the dock, paddle the kayaks, or walk to the marina. Yard is open to the water, so keep an eye on kids and pets near the edge.

Chef's kitchen stocked with coffee, salt, pepper, oil, dish soap, paper towels. Fast Wi-Fi (300mbps), full A/C and heat year-round, washer and dryer, workspace.

We're the Schnepp family from Gilbert. This is a real home we use ourselves and rent out the rest of the year — message us and we'll make it right.

The Area: Creekside HOA, a gated community at the north end of 116-acre Rainbow Lake. The White Mountains stay 30+ degrees cooler than Phoenix all summer with average highs in the 70s and 80s. About 3 hours from Phoenix. Fall foliage peaks the first three weeks of October. Sunrise Ski Resort is a short drive in winter.

Good to Know: One well-behaved dog welcome. Quiet hours after 9pm. 4WD or chains recommended November through March. Smart lock self check-in. Exterior cameras at driveway and entry only.

Great place and great views. Had fun at the local casino and great food at the Tispy Hippie restaurant. Can’t go wrong as you stay lots of things to do and plenty of options to your liking. Owners of the house were very accommodating and easy to talk to if needed. I would highly recommend a stay for sure.

We had a wonderful time at the lake house! Our kids 5 and 7 loved all the activities in the house. It was wonderful to see them playing board games, relaxing and enjoying lake. I really appreciated the hosts attention to detail when it comes to having “extras” like shampoo/conditioner/body soap as well as batteries for emergencies. We would highly recommend staying here to others and we would book this location in the future!

Summer Getaway

Our stay was perfect. We had three generations joined together for enjoyable and memorable family time. The home accommodations were perfect. The hosts have gone above and beyond to ensure your stay is enjoyable and memorable. That is exactly what we, as a family, were hoping for. Thank you and we will return again.

This cabin was perfect! Easy fishing in the pond right next to the home, and the lake is just a 2-minute walk — our teens loved kayaking across it. The cabin was spotless (the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in), very well stocked, and had plenty of space for family movie nights, board games, and relaxing. Beds were super comfortable, and The Bistro at Annie’s (just a 5-minute walk) was amazing. The owners were excellent communicators and so gracious. Highly recommend!

I took my 2 adult daughters and adult granddaughter for 4 days of quiet and a fun time. This house had everything you would possibly need for your stay. Nicely furnished, very clean and quiet. Eveything worked properly, instructions arrived in a timely manner. No problems whatsoever. The natural beauty of the back yard was very pleasant.We would definitely stay here again.Rebecca

About the host

Host profile image
Hi! We are the Schnepp Family from Gilbert, AZ. Randee is a Mom, Home-School Teacher, Dog Lover and Amazing Wife. Pete is a local service business owner, Dad and Husband. Cooper is 7 years old and loves soccer. Chloee is 5 years old and loves dance and music.
Welcome to our vacation cabin on the lake - we think you will love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

There are so few homes in AZ that are on the lake, but yet safe for kids, and in good condition! The age of the home, location of the home and the town of lakeside-pinetop checked all the boxes for us to purchase a vacation home where we can create family memories for many years to come!

What makes this property unique

The view is amazing! The location within the community is the best lot - it actually used to be owned by the builder. It has a perfect combination of Lake view, Pond View, and some privacy from the spillway. A few other lots may have better lake views, but they are right in front of the tourist areas and get a lot of people looking in their windows, and don't have any space for the kids to play in the back! This one truly has it all!
