Looking for an adventure that is romantic or just something different? Come stay at our Treehouse that overlooks this captivating private pond. The views are spectacular, and you don’t want to miss the sunsets.
You are on a gated, safe, private seven-acre property. We are only an hour and a half from the Valley of the Sun, but you will feel like you are a world away, and in the deep South. Nothing like what you would expect to find in Arizona.
Although the Treehouse is tiny, it has everything you could possibly need, and very comfortable. It includes its own private pier, canoe and paddle boat so you can get to Giraffe Island without any trouble. The island has a floating dock with a table and chairs, lounges and an outdoor spiral heater. Perfect for dinner, lunch and fishing or just relaxing.
The 200 square foot covered outdoor living area is the perfect place to curl up with a good book, or to take a nap after hiking up our private Stairway to Heaven Trail. Try going out and finding the petroglyphs, an adventure on its own. Arrowheads? Crystals? Geodes? They are all in the area. It also has a gas fire pit and electric heater for locking in the heat when the curtains that enclose it are pulled.
Just outside the gate is almost two miles of the East Verde River to explore. We backup to the Tonto National Forest, so no one is behind us. With the lush greenery and all the additional unique sitting areas, this property truly looks like it was plucked straight out of a storybook. Bird House Patio, Hammock Patio, Hillside Patio, Manzanita Patio, Waterwheel Patio and of course, the Island Patio. There is seventeen mature Willow Trees that circle the spring fed pond, with benches placed around it, for your enjoyment.
With the propane two burner Blackstone Grill, cooking will be a breeze. Sitting on the outdoor patio with a prep station and outdoor sink, what more could you ask for? Want to take a break from preparing meals and cleaning up? There is a verity of fine restaurants in Payson and Pine, …. and we are right in between both of them. 6 miles outside of Payson, and 8 miles to Pine.
The treehouse has a mini split system for heating and cooling, and on the upstairs balcony an infrared heater the sits over the outdoor bar that overlooks the 2-acre pond. You will have a Birdseye view of the ducks, eagles, otters, wildlife and fish jumping on the pond. Yes. The pond is stocked and since it is private, no fishing license is required. From here the sunsets over the top of the mountain on the other side of the East Verde River, and the reflection in the pond is mesmerizing. Don’t forget your camera.
The Treehouse interior has a private bathroom with a sink and a shower. We are a green environment, so the toilet is a modern low flush system. We are also on a gray water system for water from the sink and shower but have well water going into the treehouse, so it is drinkable. We also supply bottled water to get you started in the mornings for your coffee or tea.
There is a sitting area in front of the Arcadia glass door, with a fold out futon loveseat if you prefer separate sleeping quarters. (We know we are going to have those fishermen wanting to stay) but with only being 200 sq ft, we only accept two guests.
The dining table in the treehouse seats two and is attached to the Murphy Bed. It folds up underneath when the bed is lowered.
There is also counter space with a sink, coffee pot, microwave and a toaster oven. The roll out counter also has all the dishes and accessories you will need, including a small crockpot.
Since we are more like a traditional bed and breakfast, the refrigerator has continental breakfast items such as boiled eggs, butter, power snacks, milk, juices and an assortment or cheese, olives and a meat tray…. To get you started on this one-of-a-kind adventure.
There are also complimentary pastries, cereal, chips, cookies, crackers . . . and other surprises, along with coffee, hot chocolate, and an assortment of teas, soft drinks, beer and wine.
Downstairs, on the outdoor living room, next to the gas Blackstone grill is an ice chest, for anything else you may need a cooler for.
Treehouse robes are supplied for your use while staying with us, along with beach towels for the hot tub and infrared sauna. If you like resort amities, but prefer a rural, relaxed setting, you will love the Treehouse. Check out the medicine cabinet for anything you may have forgotten. We want your stay to be a memory to cherish forever.
This property requires lots of maintenance. The innkeepers live on the property. There is also another rental on the property if you want to bring two friends or family. It is also a two-person cottage. This property is a 7-acre estate, so they are not close together, and there is lots of privacy. The property is very extraordinary and one of a kind. If you’re ever longed to step into the pages of a fairytale, now's your chance. How often can you stay in a Treehouse?
