This place was perfect for our family. We had a trip with our cousins to go to the rodeo and it was so nice to be able to relax on the porch and watch the kids swing. We also enjoyed all of the extras like the horse shoe pits and the fire pit. We were happy to be able to bring our dog, too. We would stay here again.

Our family had the best time! We had 2 dogs with us and the fenced in property made it that much more enjoyable. Absolutely loved sitting on the front porch relaxing with a cup of coffee and a good book. Plan was to just get out of the Tucson heat for a long weekend and spend time with our adult children. The house had a well stocked kitchen to make yummy meals and then gather at a beautiful high top dining room table. We ended the days with stories and s’more around the fire pit. Booking the property, checking in and communicating with Nona, the host was a breeze. Wish we had more time, but look forward to returning!!

We loved our stay here! it was pet friendly and had so much room in the front and back yard to play for him and the kids. Loved that there was a grill as well and toys for the kids to play with. They had the checkout list posted on the fridge which was nice and easy to follow. It was easy to stay cool with each room having it's own AC. Lots of DVD's for the kids as well for family movie nights. They had a lot of games to play with for inside and outside. Poop scoopers to assist with cleaning up after your pet. Well stocked with stuff to use for the grill as well. If you are looking for a great place to stay with lots of outdoor room and space this is the one!

About the host

Hosted by Nona

Host profile image
We enjoy everything outdoors and love exploring new places.

Why they chose this property

We love Payson and come here to explore nature and all the events Payson has to offer plus the added bonus of the small town feel with the friendly locals. This Cabin is close to everything from hiking, lakes, downtown to restaurants and shops. Plus plenty of room for a group of friends or family to stay with a large yard to enjoy a BBQ and yard games or huddle around a Fire and cook smores. We can't get enough of this place.

What makes this property unique

The front porch and location of the cabin made us fall in the love with the home. We can sit out on the porch and watch the rain or snow, Eat our breakfast out there and enjoy nature. We love to be able to go for a day hike or kayaking and come back to our cozy cabin and get food from one of our favorite downtown restaurants. Best of both worlds.
