It was the perfect place for our family to stay. It is close to everything yet isolated from busy roads and noise. It is very spacious and clean, with all the amenities and everything you need. They responded quickly to our request and checked in to see if we had any questions or needed anything.

Great stay in Pinetop!

I took my family to Pinetop for a quick getaway and to go skiing. The location of this property was great. Close to all the restaurants and also in walking distance to Rainbow Lake. The home was fully stocked w/ everything we needed to cook meals. We came back from a long day of skiing, put some burgers on the grill, put the fire on, and relaxed and watched a movie. The house was clean and communicating w/ the owner was great. The backyard was large and great for our dog. This was a great stay for my family and and we are happy to recommend this property to anyone!

My friend and I just wanted to spend time in Pinetop/Lakeside escaping from the Valley heat. We visited some of our favorite stores contributing to the local economy and enjoyed meals at Darbie’s, Grumpy Jakes and Cafe Pinoli.

Nice property with plenty of space to enjoy inside and out. The backyard is fully fenced which is great for dogs. Outside and inside games available. Plenty of things to do with the family. Rainbow Lake is very close. We enjoyed renting a boat and fishing out on the lake.

Beautiful property!!

I stayed at this stunning property with my girlfriend and her family. The hosts were very kind and helpful. The rooms and kitchen were very spacious and even the backyard. There was so much to do even though it was snowing during most of our stay. We sat by the fire, cooked s’mores, played corn hole, made snowmen, etc. It was a memorable experience for a small getaway from the valley. I will definitely be looking to stay here again in the future when I’m back in the area.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Beautiful, well decorated cabin with lots of activities. Big gorgeous yard that is well fenced for our little dog and huge deck with fire pit, table and other areas to relax and watch TV outside. Well stocked with everything you need. Would stay again except..Cons: Communication with host wasn't great. At first they responded quickly with walking directions to lake that was "10-15 minutes" It is NOT, after 25 minutes of walking we had to turn around and carry our little pug back to cabin because he couldn't walk any farther. The internet went out and we tried to reach host with no reply. Also tried to reach host about a later check out due to no sleep from bed quality and still no response. Even after check out, still have not heard from host. There are also barking dogs on each side of yard that started our little guy every time he went out. The main reason we cannot stay again is the master bed was so uncomfortable we got very little sleep over our two night stay. We actually even tried sleeping on the recliners on the couch the second night but tried the bed after awhile and woke up needing Motrin and thankfully a heating pad we had brought. But the property and cabin are adorable.

We had a great time visiting Pinetop at the Hilltop Hideaway. Hosts were great, check in and stay went smoothly so we did not require any additional assistance. House and amenities were exactly as described. We have stayed up in Pinetop at different VRBOs each year over several years, this property has secured 1st place with us and the dog as well. :)Our dog loved the big fenced yard and the closed front porch as well. There are other dogs on the other bordering properties, so if you have reactive dogs that would be bothered by occasional barking / standard dog behaviors you may want to prepare for that. Neighbors were friendly. Plenty of room to park and relax. Overall we had a great time and would love to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Randy & Carissa Terrones

Host profile image
Greetings! As Arizona natives, my wife and I both hail from the western region of Phoenix. Our affection for the Pinetop area dates back to 2008, sparking a dream to one day own a home here. In 2020, that dream became a reality, and we're thrilled to extend the same joy to our guests. Winter months find us indulging in skiing, snowboarding, and sledding, followed by cozy family board game nights or a marshmallow-roasting fire. As temperatures rise in the summer, we seek refuge from the heat by taking our jon boat out on the lakes. My wife especially enjoys paddle boarding, and when we're not on the water, we're likely enjoying activities like disc golf, pickleball, or making memories at Sunrise with our kids. Join us in experiencing the magic of Pinetop firsthand!

Why they chose this property

Our love affair with this area blossomed due to its proximity to a serene lake. Nestled on a hill, our home sits on a secluded dirt road, enveloped by lush trees. Despite our tranquil setting on a private street with minimal traffic, convenience is still within reach, with shopping centers just a short 7-10 minute drive away. Enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and easy access to town amenities.

What makes this property unique

Our property offers a genuine retreat experience, where you can embrace tranquility listening to the soothing sounds of birds and swaying trees. Alternatively, for the more active individual, there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor enjoyment right at home. Engage in lively games of cornhole or horseshoes, or gather the family for a barbecue on our expansive 700+ square foot patio. Whether you seek relaxation or recreation, our property caters to all preferences.
