We had a wonderful stay. The house was comfortable and quiet and was a great fit for our two families. The ping pong table and pool table were big hits in the evening. Communication with the owner was very easy and we would recommend renting this property.

Family Getaway

After a canceled softball tournament we still made the trip and enjoyed the company of family. Even thought weather had us inside most of the time there was plenty to keep us busy. Once the sun came out we were close to parks and made less then 15 min trip to Tonto Natural Bridge State Park.

loved this view!

The pictures do not tell the story of this back yard view! We loved this neighborhood so much we decided to buy a place in the area. It is quiet with beautiful views, and we enjoyed neighborhood walks and relaxing on this deck. This is a great spot for a family gathering. The only reason I gave 4 stars for cleanliness is the carpet needs to be cleaned and the living room furniture is past it's lifetime, but everything else was very clean and we had a great time.

Great location!

We enjoyed our brief stay at the Payson House. It's a large home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom upstairs and 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom downstairs. There is a TV in one of the bedrooms downstairs only. This property has a great fire pit, for those that aren't steady on their feet, beware of going up and down stairs on gravel. It was a pleasure staying here and will definitely return!

Relaxing Escape

This is a great cabin with a beautiful deck and view. The cabin is well stocked with kitchen items, linens and bedding, puzzles and games, etc. with the ping-pong table, the two large screen TV’s, the fire pit, the horse shoes, and hiking nearby there was always something to do. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. The cabin is nicely situated as it’s close to shopping and yet it feels like it’s at the edge of the neighborhood leading right into the forest. I would definitely come back and would recommend this cabin.

Very nice older home in quiet neighborhood

This is a very well-maintained older home. Excellent covered deck recently upgraded with special decking and with nice views as in photo - a nice place to relax when it rains. Bathroom showers have been updated nicely. The beds are comfortable. The AC appears to be new and worked well. The fire pit area is spacious, and firewood is available - great area to relax. It's close to the edge of town which provides an open view and secluded feeling toward the south. Overall, a good value.

Great place and location for getting outdoors

The beds were very comfortable! We all slept well every night. The property was close to town and to outdoor recreation areas. The fire pit was nice, although you do need to supply your own wood, which wasn't a problem. There were two types of bbq's if you are wanting to grill your own meals. Kitchen was stocked well with necessities. It was nice to see the birds come up to their feeder on the balcony! They supply the bird food for you to use. Their garage had lots of tools and a work bench along with games. My only complaint is that we weren't able to stay longer! Will definitely be back!

Nice family home

We stayed in Doug & Patricia’s family home for our family’s spring break with children ranging in age from 5-12 years old. In total there were 7 of us. Pros: Lovely view, nice back porch. Close to town. Pool table/ping pong. Well stocked kitchen! Ample sleeping arrangements & comfortable bedding. Large family table for dining. Kids games/legos for entertainment. Little updates throughout the home have made it feel very welcoming & inviting. Cons Hosts seemed confused regarding our arrival date initially. House was very cold on arrival and set at 55 degrees. Took awhile to heat up and max temp is set at 69 degrees. Non-functioning bath tub made it difficult to give our twin 5 year olds a bath. No dishwasher.

About the host

Hosted by Doug

Host profile image
In 1960, my folks moved to Phoenix from Chicago and after spending their first summer in Phoenix they decided to spend their summers in Payson. We have continued the tradition of spending our summers in Payson as well as throughout the year, only with friends and family and others who feel the need to get away. My hope is that all who vacation at The Payson House thoroughly enjoy their stay and the incredible beauty the Rim Country has to offer.

Why they chose this property

The Payson House is located in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of the Granite Dells Mountain range. I like the fact that you feel secluded but only 5 minutes from shopping and restaurants. Most guests make comments on the great view and the homey feel.

What makes this property unique

The Headline tells the story. The Payson House is unique in that you feel very much in the forest and at the same time in a quiet neighborhood close to town. My favorite place is on the swing on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee. Views of the mountains aren't too bad either!! Incredible Hiking just 5 minutes away due south in the Granite Dells Mountain Range, that you can view from our deck.... best hiking in the Payson area! Very quiet neighborhood!
