Best cabin we’ve stayed at in the Pine/Strawberry area! We loved staying here. Comfortable, clean, and the game room was perfect for the kids. Would love to stay here again on our next trip to see family. Host was amazing to communicate with.
The stay was perfect for our family and pets. Very cozy with a nice backyard to enjoy especially if it is cool enough for a fire. Would stay here again. The only items that we addressed with management is the wood stove didn’t work and the carpets in places were wet and left a smell, but once they dried overnight it was better.
We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It was spacious and had something for everyone! Game room, comfortable and cozy, firepit in the back to make smores, and a well set up kitchen for cooking!
We enjoyed a quick weekend getaway at this great cabin! We got a lot of use out of the basement gameroom, made some smores by the backyard fire, and it was great to have a gated backyard area for our dog. Overall, a great stay!
We loved the fire pit and the fact that it was pet friendly. A small herd of elk came through one morning which was awesome to see. The place is clean and perfect for everyone to play games or relax. There's plenty of hiking and cute restaurants/bars nearby.
A very nice property. Kitchen was extremely well stocked. Beds and couches were comfortable. Game room was a lot of fun. The enclosed patio was great to eat, play cards and enjoy the cooler weather. It was nice to be able to let the dogs roam around in the fenced backyard. We would stay here again.
Peaceful cabin had all the needs of home Dogs enjoyed the yard Loved the wildlife just a walk around the block saw deer and elk Dont recommend that brewery for food All other restaurants especially the old county inn excellent pizzas Loved our stay.
I had six highschool besties fly into az and we spent 3 night there. Everything we needed for preparing meals. Plenty of fun in the game room, and very comfortable outside patios.
Beautiful cabin! Stayed here with my husband and two boys for Father’s Day. Great location and cabin was exactly like the pictures and description, if not better. Kids loved the basement play room! Pantry was fully stocked with all the essentials which was very nice and unexpected! Communication with Jared was great. We would definitely stay here again!
Group of friends just looking to get away for a weekend and this cabin was perfect! Had lots of games that we played with a lot. Great screened-in porch. Would highly recommend.
The cabin is just as the listing shows. It’s centrally located with easy access to restaurants, shopping and sites.
Experienced seeing elk and deer in the yard.
Quintessential cabin vibes with all the modern comforts we’re used to. All great things to say about this cabin. I spent several days on my own working remotely and never had one issue with the internet- then family came to stay with me over the weekend and we cooked up a storm and played games late into the night. Fun times had by all. Thanks Jared. I’ll be back. Stephanie
The cabin was better than as described. A wonderful cabin to spend a family weekend. Many games and books and relaxing chairs in multiple locations to sit back (isolate if you desire) and enjoy a cool peaceful break from the Valley heat and population. The cabin was the most equipped we have stayed in, plenty of towels, toiletries, kitchen goods and pots and pans.
Overall an A+!
We really enjoyed our time at this lovely cabin, the host was excellent in communicating with us and was even gracious enough to share offer early check-in which was very much appreciated. The home is well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We had a blast hanging out in the basement playing the amazing assortment of games. The screened in porch was so enjoyable for all of our meals. As a Tesla driver the car charger was a huge help. We would definitely stay here again.
This cabin was so comfy and had this little spell on you that just granted immediate relaxation. The neighborhood was charming and close to town. Our mornings started with relaxing on the front deck or lounging in the hammocks, bird watching. Every day we would be visited by elk and dear. We would end our days playing games - corn hole, jenga, ping pong. Great host! Looking forward to coming back soon.

About the host
Hosted by Jared Mason
I grew up on a farm in the Midwest but ended up at an engineering firm in Phoenix. My wife and I purchased the cabin to have a place of solace away from the big city and this cabin and this neighborhood in Pine is truly amazing.
Why they chose this property
If you have been to Pine before, you likely know that the neighborhood within Pine that you stay is important to your overall experience. This neighborhood is incredibly quiet and welcoming and allows you to really feel like you are alone in the forest. Elk visit our cabin nearly every day. You can lay in the hammocks for hours with only the sounds of nature around you.
What makes this property unique
While many properties that you search for call themselves cabins, this property is truly a log cabin but not just on the exterior. The log cabin feel permeates every bit of the interior of the cabin and every accessory. The game room is also truly unique and allows solace and entertainment even when the weather outside is not accommodating.
