Good location

Great location, only about a mile to Old County Pizza. You are in a neighborhood but still geels quiet and like you are in the woods when you sit on the deck. Tons of elk in the area. Some even came right by the porch one morning.

Anniversary Getaway Weekend

The cabin was just what we were hoping for and the owner answered all of our questions upon arrival. We hope to stay here again when we visit Pine again. On our visit we went to the Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. This hike did not disappoint, and we look forward to visiting the park again. Overall, it was a refreshing, lovely weekend getaway, and we appreciate being able to stay in this beautiful cabin.

Mountain cabin

This was a very nice and quiet cabin in a mountain neighborhood. Beds were very comfortable. The house had great sunlight! The grill was nice and the outdoor seating and fire table were very nice. Met and exceeded our expectations. We would recommend this property and would stay there again.

Pine Getaway

This was our second time staying at this property. We had an excellent experience both times. The cabin was clean and cozy and had everything needed for a short stay. We enjoyed hiking near by and the quietness of the neighborhood. We will likely return.

Belated Anniversary Celebration

We've stayed here a few times as its one of our favorites. The location of the cabin is perfect, the neighbors are friendly, and the neighborhood is quiet. We saw plenty of elk during our stay which we looked forward to (both while at the cabin and in Strawberry). Staying at this beautiful cabin gives your body, your mind and soul peace while staying here. It's sad to leave and go back to the real world. Haha!Communication was very easy with the host. We had a few bumps upon arrival that were taken care of, although time consuming. We arrived late our first night and were exhausted. We stayed for 4 days, met a very nice couple while we were shopping at Wal-Mart and had an instant connection. We've continued keeping in touch. You never know who you will meet or what is going to happen in life. Perfect timing!We relaxed on the deck, watched the elk and enjoyed the cool morning. Coffee is best out on the deck. Refreshing! We look forward to staying again. My husband and I wanted to relax, enjoy sitting out on the deck and we watched a few movies. Listening to the quiet was perfect!The cabin is beautiful, there's plenty of room for everyone. We had a great time celebrating our 36th wedding anniversary. Our stay was simple, filled with R&R and loved every minute of being in the mountains. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Our Happy Place!You'll enjoy your stay.

Cool Weekend in Pine

Located this property on VRBO about a month out from our visit. The home stood out due to the newness of the structure and the value of the rate per night. We were not disappointed. The drive from Phoenix was very reasonable considering we left town after work. The drive up through Payson was very scenic and we encountered much less traffic than a similar drive up the 17 to Sedona on a Friday afternoon. We were greeted by a herd of Elk on the way into the neighborhood and several deer were already in the yard when we arrived. We felt right at home. This property is more custom home than cabin. Very roomy, and all the comforts of modern conveniences with the feeling of camping in the tall pines. Within minutes of unpacking the car, we were cooking steaks on the grill and enjoying smores on the fire pit on the deck. Quiet secluded area with lots of opportunities for woodland creature sightings. Close to Payson and Strawberry. Downtown Pine is less than 5 minutes away. Owner was very accessable and had great recommendations. This was just such a great place to unwind, recharge, and enjoy the clean cool air. Temps were between 60 and 85 the entire weekend. A definite improvement from 110 when we left Phoenix. A well deserved break from the heat of the valley. Nearby forest lined lakes and sweeping views of rim country definitely opened our eyes to this region of AZ. Highly recommend the area and this rental property.

Nice & Relaxing

We had a great stay! Was a little dusty & had some cobwebs in certain rooms but otherwise great! We had up to 13 elk/deer in the yard in an afternoon. Our second day there it rained & it was nice to sit on the porch & enjoy that. It was also nice that we didn't have to take the garbage cans to the road, the garbage man came right up & took care of that. We loved all the windows with beautiful sunlight.The king bedroom upstairs I might suggest getting blackout curtains or something, the moon was so bright & it just shined so bright in that room that we had to block it up, had it hard to fall asleep.
