About this property

9BR Luxury Verde River Compound / Hot Tub, Pizza Oven, Game Room, Bar & Fire Pit

A Riverside Compound Made for Unplugging and Reconnecting.
Tucked into two private acres along the East Verde River, Verde River Compound is your forest hideaway for slow mornings, starry nights, and memories in the making. This one-of-a-kind riverside compound combines two fully appointed homes, the Verde River Lodge and the River House sleeping up to 20+ guests in comfort, making it the ultimate destination for large family gatherings, group retreats, or simply spreading out in style.

THE LODGE - The Heart of the Compound
The Lodge is where the magic lives. With 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a den featuring 2 twin beds and a queen sleeper sofa, this spacious cabin blends rustic warmth with every modern comfort you could ask for. Step outside and the river becomes your backyard: kids catch crawdads while adults sip coffee on the wraparound deck. Spend the afternoon soaking in the hot tub, perfecting your swing at the ping pong table, or firing up the pizza oven for dinner. Indoors, the open kitchen and cozy game room offer endless ways to relax and reconnect. Whether you're lounging fireside or going head-to-head at air hockey, every corner of the Lodge invites ease and togetherness.
AT THE LODGE, YOU'LL LOVE:

Direct river access - fly fishing, exploring, or wading with kids
Private hot tub under the stars
Gas pizza oven and grill
Wraparound deck for morning coffee or sunset cocktails
Game room with ping pong, poker, and air hockey
Full kitchen with gas appliances, stocked with essentials
Grassy lawn with cornhole, soccer nets, and a horseshoe pit
Firepit for s'mores and storytelling
EV charger on site
Hotel-grade linens and thoughtful extras throughout
Quiet and private, but only 15 minutes to town


THE RIVER HOUSE - Room for Everyone
The River House is the perfect complement to the Lodge, a fully self-contained 4-bedroom home with its own full kitchen, ideal for overflow guests, extended family, or simply giving everyone a little more breathing room. Same stunning river setting, same quality and comfort, right next door.

Warm, rustic, and made for together time. The Compound gives large groups the rare combination of shared spaces to gather and private spaces to retreat. Kids roam free. Adults unwind. And everyone heads home just a little more grounded.

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING:
"The river in the backyard was amazing. Our kids played all weekend!"
"So well stocked! Games, kitchenware, towels, it had everything."
"We loved the hot tub, cornhole, and that wraparound deck."
"It felt remote but had all the comforts we needed, perfect escape."

Guest Access
Guests have access to every area of both homes and all shared outdoor spaces across the full two-acre property.

We had a nice, little family vacation at this beautiful place! There was sooo much to do for the whole family! We enjoyed the hot tub, air hockey and the hammocks were amazing! We had javelina and deer come visit, as well as some squirrels. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the cabin was gorgeous! I really appreciated the consistent communication, and everyone I spoke with was so kind. We will definitely be back!

Great Retreat

Our family had a great time. We enjoyed the multiple amenities, comfortable beds & furnishings. Along with having alone space if needed. We all got the opportunity for some well needed R&R! Left refreshed and ready to tackle life again. We would stay again.

Riverside Getaway

Cabin is very nice and a great place for large families. The river is shallow enough for the kids to play in. Elk coming down to the river to eat apples was a bonus. Beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are nice. Overall the cabin is a very nice place.

Beautiful home, some things could be better

This review is to help prepare. Not to be negative. Firstly, there were SO many piles of cow poop on the property that it made it less than enjoyable with letting the kids run. The poop is everywhere....even on the banks of the creek. I get it, cows roam, but the pictures show so much beautiful green grass. Not green, laden in cow pies. The time we went must have been a perfect storm, because in addition to the cow pies, we had the pleasure of black worms with legs everywhere. On everything. We googled it and they are a leaf eating beetle. Literally on everything. The ground, the chairs, the rocks. The exterior of the house could have used a cleaning and blowing before we got there. We ended up finding the blower and doing it ourselves....also the oven in the house has a broken panel, so when you turn it on you have no way to know if it's actually on. We did get it to work, but it was a shot in the dark. Things to prepare for: the house is not equipped with board games, so if you want to play them you should bring. Sound travels in the house. It was okay for us but good to know. The primary bedroom triangular tub has a shower with no curtain. The lower level uses space heaters, okay but good to know. The outdoor fire pit is lovely and there's plenty of seating everywhere. Be prepared with crocs for walking the property and in the creek to avoid the poop. The home is so beautiful though and the creek's lovely.

Magical place!

This place has everything could possibly ask for. The sound of the river, the elk that visited us in the morning and just minutes from beautiful walks. Super spacious and definitely enough room for 10 to 12 people. We look forward to visiting here again.
