Comfortable stay up in the pines
I am a repeat of this cabin because the host is fantastic, the neighborhood is perfect for a morning stroll, and the home is comfortable.

Wonderful, Clean Cabin
We enjoyed our stay very much, the outdoor firepit and the indoor fireplace created such a cozy atmosphere. The cabin was very clean with comfortable furniture and a nice, well stocked kitchen. Thank you!

From the owner: "We appreciate the kind words. We visit the Mohave Manor every month, and yes, it's extremely comfortable."
We absolutely loved this cabin, we had the best time with our two children playing in the snow and felt right at home as soon as we got there. Communication with the owner was seamless and he was so kind and willing to help with anything we may have needed. We highly recommend this stay!
Very nice place in the woods. Quiet area. Lots of space. Kitchen had everything we needed. Good location.

Great property in Lakeside. Our small family of four got to enjoy the cooler weather during the day and sleep comfortably at night. Would love to stay again in the future.

This is our second time staying in this beautiful home. We love it so much! All the comforts of home, but better. We loved being surrounded by the pines!
We had a great time enjoying the covered patio/deck! House is very comfortable for up to 6 people. The master and guest/hallway bathrooms are both spacious with plenty of towels. We will book this property again!
Excellent property. We spent all of our time on the back deck. Having the firepit was such a nice feature at night. We loved that the back deck looked into the pines.

Beauty!
This home is perfect. It has everything you'd need for a relaxing stay in the trees. We absolutely loved sitting on the back porch listening to the wind and smelling the pine.

Beautiful serene cabin located in the heart of Lakeside. Modern, very clean and well furnished. The host was very responsive and accommodating answering any questions immediately. The neighborhood is very quiet and we will be back soon!

Large covered deck with forest view!
We enjoyed our time in this house. Both bathrooms are spacious and kitchen is well stocked.
The back patio deck is comfortable with plenty of outdoor furniture! The baskets of blankets in front room living area is a nice touch!
Check in and check out process went smoothly - very easy.
We will rent this place again!

From the owner: "Thank you so much for the great review. We are sitting on the back deck enjoying the pine forest as I typed this. We especially like watching the birds and just chilling on the deck. It doesn't get old!"
This was one of the best VRBO properties we have stayed in over the past 15 or so years. very well kept and exceptionally clean with everything needed.. If you are looking for a great place to stay that is close to everything in Pine Top, Lakeside and Show Low and yet offers peace and quiet. . .this is it! We will definitely rent this property again.

From the Owner: "We appreciate the 5-star review. We love the location as much as you do. You guys were great, be happy to host y'all again."
This is a property I would definitely return to. It was a quiet location, yet handy to getting to Pinetop or Show Low. Everything was as noted except ice maker did not work.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful, new, clean, comfortable, well equipped home nestled in the pines. We loved sitting on the private back porch soaking up the sounds and smells of nature. Although we didn't use the kitchen for cooking, I noticed it was very well stocked. We hope to visit again and will bring our boys with us next time.

Thanks for the kind words. The rear deck is where we seem to spend most of our time when we stay there.
Finding it and check-in was very easy. The cabin is at the end of an easy to reach street, but backs up to an expanse of pine trees. Very pretty views out of every window. The cabin is very newly built, and all the furniture and decorations are new and high quality. We especially liked the motorized reclining chairs.
Most local attractions were 4-10 minutes away, and yet we almost never saw a car and it was very quiet. We had a great time.
Nice home with plenty of space. Well-equipped with amenities. Except for AC. Most days we’re 85-90 degrees! There were ceiling fans and thankfully, cool nights. Nice back deck for watching the wildlife.
The property and house was absolutely stunning. We were looking for a getaway to relax and just get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This property allowed us to do just that. Quiet neighborhood, inviting and relaxing amenities inside and outside. Place was comfy and cozy and we enjoyed every minute of it. Will definitely be staying here again. Owners are very friendly and accommodating. We were allowed to check in early and check out late. Very responsive to emails and phone calls/texts. I would rate this 10 stars if allowed.

From the owner: "We appreciate the kind words. If the place has been thoroughly cleaned, we don't mind an early check-in. We like to stay responsive if the guests have any questions. Yes, it's an extremely private home and we enjoy it immensely."
With the surrounding trees & AWESOME forested area off the back porch it felt very private. The NICE SURPRISE is a little trail you can hike with inspirational/ uplifting messages along the way just outside the back yard. If you have kiddos, you've got to take them on this trail as it leads to a small park area where you can have a picnic and the kids can play in the "hobbit house". John, the property manager was very accommodating. THANK YOU.

From the owner: "Thanks for the 5-star review. Glad you all enjoyed yourselves."
Awesome property, location, and host. Exactly what we needed for our stay. The house/cabin was obviously recently updated and meticulously cared for. Top notch amenities, internet, sound system, etc. easy to find. Easy to get in and out and to our activities. We all loved it! A big upgrade from the last few places we have stayed. The host made everything easy so we didn’t have to worry about anything but having fun. We all agreed that Mohave Manor is the place for us each time we want to head back up the hill from Phoenix. 10/10 on the whole weekend. Thanks!!
My wife and two kids enjoyed our stay at Mohave Manor that they wanted to stay 12 nights more haha. My son said to bring my work computer so they could stay longer, clever kid. We really liked the layout of the home with kitchen, living room all being on the right side and bedrooms being on the left. We ate out during our stay but kitchen has everything you need if wanting to cook your meals. Beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of towels to use in the bathrooms. My favorite part are the reclining chairs after being wrestle by my kids in the snow, I passed out twice on them. I would highly recommend to my family and friends. I definitely plan to have this place favorite for future trips. Thanks John for sharing your home!
