About this property

Castle In The Pines - 5BR 4bath, 3600 sq ft, 3 levels, best amenities in town!

Remodeled this past year, this is THE cabin in Munds Park! You'll know you are at the right place when you see situated atop the hill this majestic 3-story cabin peaking through the pine trees...and you will quickly see why it is known by the locals as 'The Castle in The Pines'. The cabin is 3600sf of breathtaking views. 3 stories, each with enormous wrap-around decks offering views of the serene lake, towering mountains, and pines as far as the eye can see. We are close to everything, but without sacrificing the peace & quiet we all seek when escaping to Munds Park. The 'Castle in the Pines' is a true 5-bedroom, each with a king or queen bed and a bunk-room with a divider. Two of the rooms are Master Suites with private decks, en-suite full bathrooms & shower & tubs! The Castle sleeps 14 comfortably in beds, and then couches & air-mattresses for up to 17 total max capacity, inc kids. We have a folding crib, a pack-n-play, and other baby-friendly amenities. On the first floor is a game room with pool table, ping-pong, appleTV, 65' new plasma TV, Dish, WiFi & all the best board games, fireplaces, wet-bar kitchenette with sink, wine fridge, and mini-fridge. Head out to the deck, grill some burgers and enjoy a game of bean bag-toss & giant Chess. Wind down on the deck at night with a glass of wine and enjoy the unparalleled star-gazing in the clear night sky! We have owned the cabin for 17 years and we still use it regularly. If you like to explore, hit the Crystal Point Trail minutes away, or head into Flagstaff and enjoy the ped-mall and there are festivals and concerts just about every weekend (20 minute drive). A short drive to Sedona (30-45 minutes); Grand Canyon (2-3 hrs); local casino (30 min) or Las Vegas (~4 hrs); even Phoenix and D-backs baseball games only 90 minutes! Amazing trails to hike; ATV's to rent; historic ghost-towns.....seriously it's ALL here you cannot find a better family vacation in a better place at a better cabin at this price. NOTE: Any requests for 13 or more people and/or less than 3 nights (1 or 2) are subject to case-by-case pricing. The best value around!

Beautiful Home

The property is beautifully set among the tall pine trees of Northern AZ. The house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay while we were in Munds park attending a wedding. Plenty of towels, blankets and kitchen stuff to sit back and thoroughly enjoy our stay. The patio was large with plenty of chairs that we could all enjoy or breakfast on the patio.

This is a beautiful home that is comfortable, clean and has owners who are very easy to work with. I would definitely stay here again. My only concern would be navigating the steep driveway during the winter months. The owners mention this in the proper description.

Family Gathering for NAU graduation

This was the perfect cabin for our family to stay in while attending NAU graduation. It was well stocked and had a lot of space for everyone. There are three levels with hang out places on each level. We enjoyed making a fire in the fireplace and walking down to the lake to fish. The foldable crib and pack and play were nice to have for the kids. We'll definitely come back.

Perfect cabin for large families

Lovely home. Our stay was very clean and comfortable. Easy instructions. Plenty of space with cozy fireplace. The kitchen is stocked with every kitchen gadget you need. The host and owners are kind and respond quickly to your questions. Our family will be back again to stay here. We come out to Flagstaff quite a bit for the snow and by far this one was your favorite cabin. We enjoyed our Saturday at Flagstaff snow park, which was only 15 -20 minutes away. Can’t wait to plan our next trip here.

Peaceful and Cool

This was a peaceful stay in the cool temps, and we are grateful that you opened your house for us to enjoy. The driveway is no joke, it’s steep, but we felt empowered after conquering it, like a badass, lol. We used the slope to our advantage, walking up and down both sides for a 20 minute exercise. Thanks again, to the homeowners.

Perfect location & perfect fit for large groups! This is our third year visting Munds Park over Labor Day weekend and it was hands-down the best property we have stayed at so far. The beautiful house was the perfect fit for our large group of 3 families (6 adults / 7 kids). There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out! Our kids really enjoyed the ping pong table/pool table and the lake which was so close, within walking distance! The kitchen was fully-stocked which made cooking meals a breeze. Everyone really enjoyed sitting outside on the the multiple decks where we ate most of our meals outside in the cool pines. The only minor thing we ran into was the steepness of one of the driveways, some of the younger kids had a hard time walking up/down and older adults. We found that the shorter one was the best one to walk up/down, especially at night. Overall, we had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay, wished we could have stayed longer! Kevin was a great host - very responsive and quick to answer all of our questions.

Beautiful and relaxing

It’s hard to find a place that adequately accommodates eight adults and three small children. This place does that very well and when you’re trying to get out of the Phoenix and Las Vegas heat, it’s the perfect escape. The place is clean, with multi levels that provide enough privacy to where you’re not stepping on each other. We would do this again; highly recommend.

Such a great property. Had all the amenities you could think of. Conveniently location with walking distance to the lake. Plenty of space for a family gathering. We stayed for our annual family camping trip and there were 8 adults and 6 kids and it didn’t seem crowded at all. Wish we could have stayed longer. We’ll definitely be back.

Not as pictured

We thought this would be a nice, clean, updated, modern cabin by the pictures. We were all very disappointed. We were on a girls hiking trip and we all have pretty high standards of cleanliness and this absolutely did not meet our expectations. The pictures online depict a moderately furnished, updated house. The pictures must be outdated as there is extra furniture than showing, making the home cluttered. The kitchen drawers and cabinets were all packed to the brim with extra mismatched plates, pots etc. The dishes themselves were very dirty. We found ourselves having to wash every item we pulled out for use, ultimately deciding to just go buy paper plates. The linens in the home were old and all the towels mismatched. Several had hair on them from previous guests as did a few of the sheets. The outdoor space was also not cleaned before our stay. It felt like staying at grandmas cluttered cabin. This was our first time using VRBO and we were not impressed. The rental process for this home was also very stringent. NO REFUNDS. Most homes allow for a possibility of a cancellation. They also took a very large security deposit and non-refundable, mandatory insurance payment. Once all paid, I then had to sign a 10 page rental agreement. All in all this home was definitely not worth the time, money or stress of staying in an old cluttered home. I feel VRBO should standardize at MINIMUM, kitchen, lined and bedding requirements. Overall, my guest and I were very underwhelmed.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Burk

Host profile image
Our family has owned it for 17 years and opened it up for rent in 2014. As many Phoenicians, we retreat to Munds park often during the summer to escape the heat. We saw this cabin and fell in love. We have owned and operated a small local mortgage company in Phoenix/Scottsdale, among a few other endeavors. We are a family of 12, and growing, from all over the country originally but now we all live/work in North Scottsdale which is just a 2 hr max drive. Every year we frequent the cabin and we continue to put our profits back into the decor, quality, and amenities. NOTE: Any requests for 13 or more people and/or less than 3 nights (so 1 or 2) are subject to case-by-case pricing.

Why they chose this property

Our cabin is one of a kind in Munds Park, AZ, in that we have 3 levels and each is complete with bedrooms, bathrooms, sinks, and most importantly the common areas to hang out. Almost every guest with multiple families have raved about the layout, the amenities, the location, the views, etc.....and the 1000+ sq ft of outdoor deck spanning all 3 levels, provides the feeling of being "up in the pine-trees" while still being in a residential area just minutes from the lake, golf-course, restaurants, bar, rentals, activities, etc. The kitchen level is well-equipped and with lots of seating, while the other levels boast even more seating and entertainment. Whether you're on a winter/snow trip (we're 20 min from Snow Bowl Mtn. in Flagstaff), or a summer trip to escape the heat (perfect 70-80 May - Oct usually) - you won't find a better rental.
