About this property
Pet-friendly cabin by the creek backing forest service
This wonderful log sided cabin backs forest service and is steps from year round Tonto Creek. It is nestled in Kohl's Ranch, which is located within the world's largest Ponderosa Pine forest. Despite the secluded location, there are so many nearby attractions you won't be able to see them all in one trip! Go swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, fossil hunting, crystal collecting, spelunking, off-roading and horseback riding right near the cabin or simply relax on the large deck or by the fire!
