Views for days

We stayed with family and brought our SxS's. There are so many trails near by, there endless fun. The home was super clean and huge. We loved hanging on the patio in the morning and afternoon listening to the birds. The bed was super comfortable. The only down side was the internet as it was out most of our trip. We have family near by and they said it's pretty normal for the service they had. I'll make a recommendation and I'm sure they will look into it. I read other reviews about needing a grill light recently and I saw that one was added. Great host very friendly and we would love to stay again.

Exceeded expectations - a dog owner's dream!

The house has spacious rooms and TONS of space inside and out. We spent almost a week there over Christmas and did all of our cooking in the well-appointed kitchen. The huge table sits six comfortably (with the two extra folding chairs added to the four super comfy dining chairs). The house provides an excellent opportunity for family/friend gathering fun. We played more pool than we have in years! The patio provides stunning views of the surrounding mountains. We enjoyed our coffee each morning accompanied by a beautiful view of the sunrise over the mountains. This house is PERFECTLY set up for families traveling with their canine family members. There was a dog dish set up outside already and a pooper scooper provided. The backyard is also primarily sand, which was comfy on our pup's paws while exploring the beautifully fenced yard, which is reinforced all along the bottom for extra security. The only glitch we experienced was because Wi-fi is via satellite provider and was down one day of our trip. The rest of he time it was fine. We have friends and family in the area who say it's the norm for the service to go out occasionally, but not often. The owner was responsive within a few hours. It was okay for our vacation but I could see it as an issue if I were attempting to work remote while on vacation. It was extremely helpful to have the ability to do our own laundry on-site as well. Highly recommend this house! We'll book again while in Tonto Basin!

About the host

Hosted by Greg Rogers

I love creating special memories for others and The Tonto House allows me to do just that. Being a avid outdoorsman, I love fishing and boating on Roosevelt Lake and enjoying the many off road trails Tonto Basin has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This property (you are looking at) is the perfect location for all things adventure. Places to stay are so limited that I saw the need for a rental property that would be close to all the fun things to do here and also provide a restfull home to relax and enjoy after a day of sports and adventure for singles and family alike.

What makes this property unique

The Tonto House boarders the National Forest yet is minutes away from the market, hardware store and restaurants. The Tonto House is in the very center of adventure. To the south there's Roosevelt Lake (10.5 miles) with boating, fishing, skiing, swimming, sailing and personal water craft sports. To the West there is four Peaks Wilderness with hiking, mountain climbing, rock hounding, hunting and off road trails to explore. To the North is the Mazatzal mountains offering more adventure. To the East of Tonto Basin more adventure awaits in the Ancha Wilderness offering hiking, off road trails and trout fishing in Salome Creek. Don't forget to visit the Tonto National Monument and take the tour of cliff dwellings of the Salado Indian people.

After a day of fun... relax on the patio with your favorite beverage, start the Bar b Que and lite the fire pit feature. Get the gang together for a game of Horse Shoes or Bean Bag in the Hole and see who is lucky tonight. Some one may put out a challenge to a game of billiards and watch your favorite show the big screen. For those who want less excitement you can always retreat to the Tonto Lounge with comfortable seating and a big screen TV. What ever you mood, the Tonto House will accommodate you.
