What a fun and awesome place to stay! All of our needs were met. We did not have to go to the store to buy anything. The hosts even left us wine and chocolate! The house was clean. The beds were quite comfortable. Kitchen was well supplied. Neighborhood was secluded and had nice views out the front. Hot tub was incredible! Really enjoyed our stay! Was exactly what we were looking for for this stay.

Great Cozy Cottage!

My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Cozy Cottage. The owners have gone above and beyond ensuring we did not want for anything! We very much appreciated all of the little extra touches! The cottage was nestled in a quiet neighborhood just a 10 minute drive to shopping and restaurants. Close proximity to Tonto Natural Bridge and Wagon Wheel too! Would stay again!

Felt like Trumpville

The cabin is fine. It could have been a touch cleaner, as it was apparent a man was the last one to use the toilet. Other than that, aside from religious items EVERYWHERE in the house and the whole neighborhood flying their crazy Trump flags, it was fine. Would I return? No, but only because of the neighborhood, not because of the cabin.

Pleasant cottage in quiet setting. Very comfortable bed. Uneasiness about rising water over creek/river crossing was the only drawback.

Pleasantly Happy

My husband and I went to the cozy cottage as we needed his place to stay in the area close to Camp LoMia in Pine… The home was easy to find, easy access and had the most comfortable king bed. We enjoyed the Jacuzzi every evening. We didn’t have much time to enjoy the rest of the house, but I was pleasantly surprised to see lots of little extras that the owner had left for us as a renter to use. I think the extras make a big difference the next day after checking out, I realized I had lost my bracelet and I quickly called the owner… She found it and mailed it back to me at no charge… I thought she was the kindest person to help me with this. I would definitely rent here again!

Girls weekend getaway

Overall excellent. It was quiet, a good time to gather and refresh with friends. Us moms needed this quick getaway. The cottage was cozy and well kept, had everything we needed from extra toiletries, to seasonings and extra towels and blankets. Overall clean, there are 2 trash bin in the kitchen one was half full of empty beer bottles no big deal. There was also a fairly large amount of hair in the shower drain cover. We didnt arrive until evening but the hosts instructions were easy to follow. We were worried when we got to the bridge as water was running across (as it’s supposed to we later learned). The host did mention in the instructions the water was shallow but we were a little scared crossing at night because we couldn’t see just how shallow it was. Lastly, the bathroom door is a barn door which doesn’t allow for much privacy in the bathroom. For those reasons I’m giving a 4/5 we enjoyed our stay very much and would love to return in the future!

Daughter’s birthday weekend

It was a cute place but could use some fixing up. Such as paint and some deep cleaning. I would also suggest having different sizes of pillows for the bed. The pillows were super thick and hurt our necks. We ended up using blankets instead.Check in went smooth and property manager was very friendly. I asked prior if they had a coffee pot and was told yes. They had two coffee makers, a Keurig and regular coffee maker. We tried using the Keurig, it was dirty and spilled coffee and coffee grinds all over the counter and floor. The other coffee pot was dirty so we drove to town to get coffee. The jacuzzi was nice and hot but the jets on one side didn’t work very well and the water was extremely cloudy. There needs to be more lighting around the jacuzzi area.It’s in a beautiful location and easy to find. I feel it was a bit overpriced for what it was.

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for over 53 years, We are the proud parents of 2 children and now have added their spouses to our family. Our son and his wife have 2 boys, our daughter and her spouse have 2 girls. We were blessed to find our home in this quiet community. We love the quiet and solitude here. We have been able to purchase 4 homes one for us and 3 we are able to share with others. We live down the street from the rentals so are close by for any needs.

Why they chose this property

It is quiet secluded and relaxing. You are still close to town so can quickly go out for shopping, bowling movies and out for the evening. The area offers hiking and there is frequent festivities in the nearby towns. A local horse stable offers horse back riding. Cute boutiques,antique malls thrift stores. The stars at night are very breathtaking.

What makes this property unique

Home owner close by for any problems or questions, area is quiet. Surrounded by the national forest area where you can take your quads out riding,(must be street licensed and follow speed limits while in housing area)You can fish on the East Verde River which is a close walk from our home. If you have additional family members and need additional room the homes next to this are VRBO #615502 and #2680098. They sleep up to 8 in each home. Each home has a jacuzzi.
