About this property
Authentic Log Cabin, 1.25 Acres, Seasonal Creek, Fireplace! 1.6 Miles to Square
Cute, Cute, Cute! A Bona fide 1940's (probably older) Log Cabin! It's sweet, small, quaint, funky & located 1.6 mi. from the Square. We offer discounts on longer stays also--Sale prices are built into VRBO! If this is booked try our Cottage # 883663, Casita # 889878 or Nest # 2852504. We are located centrally down our own private lane, in a neighborhood on 1.25 acres of Elms and Cottonwoods. The Pines are a mile away.
Karen is also a licensed Realtor and can help with your real estate needs.
Pets are allowed with owner approval, a signed Pet Addendum and a Pet Fee of $75.00 per pet.
There is a meadow, seasonal creek (w/Monsoon Season or melting snow), towering elms & cottonwoods. Birds, butterflies & lizards provide entertainment, and we have TV with Roku & Hulu plus Sirius Radio. Wildlife goes through nearly every night, especially javelina and raccoons! We've also seen coyotes, skunks and deer on the critter cam! There are gravity chairs in the meadow to watch the stars at night!
This one bedroom has a deep Serta Sleeper mattress & high-thread count cotton sheets plus an assortment of pillows, including cervical support or memory foam.
Pets MUST be pre-approved by owner. You will be required to read and sign a Pet Addendum & Pay a Pet Fee.
We also have a 2 bedroom Cottage if the Log Cabin is booked: VRBO - 889880
You'll love the interior of this 1 bedroom (Queen-size bed), 1 bathroom (large shower) log cabin with log walls, log ceiling beams and hardwood floors throughout.
The Log Cabin has fascinating features, like the original walk-in closet & built-in bookshelves. We outfitted the dining room with an oak table and kitchen chairs made with rodeo cowboy upholstery! In the living room there is another oak table with hand-painted bears and bear claws on it, a loveseat and 2 rocking chairs.
We provide great high-speed Internet, TV with Roku and Hulu, games, puzzles, cards, and lots of books, magazines and brochures about the area, history, events and cowboy and Native American art and culture.
The Kitchen is Furnished with a Stove, Refrigerator, Microwave, Toaster oven and Coffee maker. Cooking utensils are provided along with pots and pans, glasses, coffee cups, silverware and dish towels. There is a storage closet with brooms, cabinets and shelves for your extra kitchen items and cleaning supplies under the sink. Coffee and filters, sugar, creamer, salt and pepper, coconut oil and a few other items are provided.
The Cabin is decorated with Antique & Mid-century Modern furniture, Southwestern patterns & artwork of Native Americans, Cowboys & Arizona nature and wildlife. We did some renovations including a new refrigerator, stove, cabinets, countertops, toilet and water heater, so there's nice hot water and good water pressure for the shower!
We scrubbed the floors & logs then put a bright, fresh coat of paint in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen & living room. We've added new curtains, door locks, a keyless entry, hardware, grill and outdoor seating. The front porch has a Flagstone floor with a bench & rocking chairs where you can sip your coffee in the morning or wine in the evenings while you watch the birds and wildlife. We've had a lot of the yellow finches, hummingbirds, flickers, mourning doves, a red-tailed hawk, Cooper's hawks, ravens, and a ladder-backed woodpecker lately who's built a nest in the black walnut tree. We also have a hummingbird nest in the chandelier out the back door!
In front of the cabin we've added native grasses & a seating area. Past the meadow Miller Creek runs seasonally after snows or Monsoon Season. Sometimes we have a mallard with a couple wives that hangs around when the water is running!
When in season, there are also irises, penstemon, salvia flowers, clematis, sweet-smelling jasmine, butterfly bushes and Chitalpa trees blooming with white blossoms almost all summer! The prickly pear also put on a show with their bright pink blossoms,
In the Bedroom, a high Queen-sized Pine Bed reigns over the bedroom with Iron Scrolling and a deep Serta Perfect Sleeper Pillow-top Mattress on top of box springs. You'll feel like the Princess and the Pea on this massive bed! Don't worry--there's a step stool to help us shorter folks! High-thread count sheets, a cottony quilt, blanket and three styles of pillows are available to you: non-allergenic bamboo, doctor-recommended, cervical support or anti-allergenic poly-fill. Wall Lamps provide lighting for night-time reading. The rustic walk-in closet holds built-in shelves for clothes, a chest with a key for clothes or valuables, plenty of room for hanging clothes, a full-length mirror and an ironing board and iron.
The bathroom is clean and bright with a window, a pedestal sink and a new toilet. Two medicine cabinets will hold your sundries and there's lots of fluffy bath towels, hand towels and washcloths! Shampoo, conditioner and soap are provided. We try to be non-wasteful with healthy products in bulk or if you prefer, you can choose sample sizes.
The Western theme continues in the Living Room meeting a Mid-century flair with loveseat, antique chairs, and a vintage rocking chair. An iron coffee table with Southwestern cutouts and a a stone top compliment the design. A TV is provided with Roku and Hulu and there is High-speed Internet for streaming movies.
We'd love to have you come visit! There are so many things to do in Prescott and surrounding areas, whether you're driving through on a short visit or staying longer. As the cowboys say in Potter's Cowboy Slang, You're "as welcome as a pat straight flush"!
We also have a 2 bedroom cottage, if this does not suit your needs or is booked. The VRBO number is 883663, "Sparkling, Renovated Cottage". We'd be happy to accommodate you there too!

About the host
Hosted by Dave Rueb and Karen Hunt
We purchased the property in 2016 with the help of the previous owners who'd owned it for 30 years! Dave and I are both in Housing: Construction and Sales. With both of us self-employed in the housing industry we lost about everything (except each other!) in the crash. After business losses, bankruptcy, IRS audit, short sale and deaths in the family, we moved to Prescott, nearly on a whim. We rented from another couple we just met who believed in us and loaned us the down payment for this parcel of land. We started thinking about the possibilities of such a cute property and did a little work on the Log Cabin but tried to keep it mostly intact, even with its funky fixes by other owners and tenants. We renovated the Cottage down the lane in a big way (#883663), opening the floor plan and adding a garden.
The Log Cabin appears to have been owned (and possibly built) by a man who was a piano tuner and salesman. His wife worked as a bookkeeper for an attorney. They had one daughter who eventually taught dance in Los Angeles but returned to Prescott to care for her father in his last days and bury him in the local cemetery next to his wife (researched at Sharlot Hall Museum).
Thank you for choosing us. Let us know how we can make the property and your experience even better. We started this as our primary business after suffering many losses. We want a successful business and happy, satisfied guests! Blessings to you!

Why they chose this property
We really liked the authenticity of the Log Cabin, the location near the Fairgrounds and Downtown (but not too close) and the seasonal creek. With all the large elms, locusts and cottonwoods, we knew we wanted to preserve and improve upon this little park-like setting. The owners were thrilled with our vision and were finally able to part with it, knowing we would be good stewards to the land and the creek which adds to the water supply in Prescott.
What makes this property unique
The Log Cabin is definitely unique and incredibly cute! The log beams, the gas stove, the little front porch, the built-in closets and shelves were all really dear to us. We had an incredible time furnishing it and meeting people from auctions, antique stores, yard sales, thrift stores and estate sales. It's so wonderful to see so many works of art, antiques and collectibles and remember the people and stories that go with them. How heart-warming and magical it is to repurpose someone else's beloved or handmade items!
