The cabin has a beautiful location along the East Fork of the Little Colorado River. It had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. We were visited by elk, deer, birds and squirrels. The porch is a great place to spend the afternoon reading or just hanging out. The mbr bed was comfortable. We had plenty of good towels. Hartiet, our host, responded quickly to any questions or needs. We highly recommend this place.

We love this location! It’s private, comfortable, and clean. Not fancy, but all the essentials are there for a perfect, relaxing time in the mountains. Just close enough to downtown. It’s our favorite spot to stay in Greer so far.

Amazing stay!

We loved every moment of our time in Greer at the Windes’ East Fork Retreat. The setting was beautiful, the accommodations were rustic yet clean, the wifi was fantastic (no issues even when the satellite lost signal for a little while), and everything was comfortable and well-appointed. We are already planning our next trip to this same spot!

The cabin was just as described. Very peaceful setting with tons of birds and chipmunks. There was every type of small appliance you could think of and plenty of pots, pans, dishes and glassware. The only real downside was, Greer had had lots of rain and the river and trail along it were not accessible due to the extra water creating a large marshy area all along the river from overflow. That was obviously out of anyone's control.Our favorite part of the the house was the large covered porch. Even though we had rain for part of almost every day we were there, we could always sit outside and enjoy nature while nice and dry. Thank you John for sharing your nature retreat with us!Debbie and Steve

We stayed here last year and booked again this year. Love the location. Set up is perfect for us. Everything we needed was provided. Enjoyed the covered deck when the rain came. Nice walking options right from the property. Quiet and clean!

The cabin was very nice and clean and in a great location for seeing wildlife. Elk and deer came close to the cabin. Could hear elk bugling at night and in the early morning. We drove around the area and saw more elk, deer, antelope and turkeys. We had a wonderful time. We met Harriet and she was so nice and helpful.

Loving Greer South Fork Retreat

The only suggestion we would make is that the carpet be cleaned. The manager is exceptional!

We got it cleaned! Was kind of a weird year with covid. We'll have it cleaned again in the Spring. We were hoping to get all new flooring last year but couldn't get it done.

Repeat stay and we’ll be back again

Just finished our second stay in this cabin. We absolutely love it here. Very close to the reservoirs which we fished at daily and the river runs right through the property. The cabin is very comfortable and extremely clean. Harriet and John are both absolutely wonderful people, fast communication and great resources for the area. We will continue to come back here!!

Another amazing stay at Windes East Fork

This is our third annual mom daughter vacation staying at this property. I literally could not ask for a better experience. From host communication, cleanliness of the property and comfort of the cabin I would never go anywhere else. The many, many hummingbirds on the property have completely stolen our hearts. Until next time, we cannot wait to stay with you again!!! Sandra and Kennedy

Great time out of the heat!

The Phoenix area has had a record breaking Summer, I am so glad I booked this cabin last May. Me and an Army buddy came to fish the area lakes and rivers. We caught trout and saw lots of Arizona's White Mountains. So nice to have a place to stay that had all the comforts of home. I really recommend that you take some time off here!

Thankful.

Our week in Greer was all we hoped for... we had perfect weather, saw many of the area’s wildlife just steps from our “home”, and journeyed on day trips to places we had heard of, such as “Coronado Trail and Sipe’s AZ Refuge”. Thank you, Harriet, for having all we needed, clean and welcoming. Another spot in God’s Creation for which to be thankful!!

Lovely time at East Fork retreat

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property. The house is immaculate and well appointed with everything you could possibly need. The beds are extremely comfortable and we slept better here than at home. The river runs right along the property we saw tons of wildlife. We will be back we absolutely loved it. Harriet the property manager is there for anything you need or to answer questions. We will be back!

Best Place in Greer

East Fork Retreat is the best VRBO place in Greer. The host Harriet is ALWAYS responsive and helpful with any questions. This home is ALWAYS clean and provides all of the items you need to cook, eat, and enjoy the many comforts. The location is perfect with a large covered porch for just sitting and listening to all the nature sounds and sights. It is close to hiking paths, the eateries of Greer, the lakes and fishing or kayaking I highly recommend staying at this location. You will NOT be disappointed.

Bird watching heaven

The property was extremely clean, felt very private and was set up perfectly to put some bird seed in the provided feeders to then sit back and watch the amazing birds show up! If you are someone wanting to enjoy the birds, make sure you bring wild bird seeds, suet and make some hummingbird food beforehand! The rufous will thank you as he defends the food all day long.
