The cozy cottage was a wonderful little place. I stayed for business and found it was a peaceful place to wind down from a very long day at work. The surroundings were beautiful and I saw a herd of elk driving into town one evening. Verla was an amazing host. I absolutely loved the fresh eggs!

This guest had a problem with the ceiling fans but they had the control for the living room fans in the bedroom. My husband went up right away and mentioned that the control was missing. My husband disconnected fan to shut it off not knowing where control was. It was found in the bedroom after their stay. It is a control with a fan on it so obviously belonged to living room ceiling fan. They also had 1 day of a cold jacuzzi 1st day and last day no problem. The water gets cold if lid left off as it can't maintain heat especially when nights get down in 20-30s' The jacuzzi was error on their part nothing wrong with jacuzzi. Glad they liked the cabin.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I were married for over 55 years. He recently passed away and my grandson is with me. We bought and remodeled these homes. 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 loved the quiet and solitude here. We were able to build and remodel 5 homes one for us and 4 we are able to share with others. This work was done by my husband and myself. I live down the street from the rentals so I am 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,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

You are within walking distance to the East Verde River, There are hiking trails in the community and around Payson. The Natural Forest Gate is at the end of the road the house is on. The Natural Bridge is 5 miles up 87 from our community. There are also lakes for kayaking close by. Lots of antiquing, unique stores, golfing, Zane Grey Museum. Payson is a Town that hosts a lot of events including rodeos. There is a large choice of restaurants. We also have a casino..
