Christmas in April

Nestled within the tall pine trees. Very quiet regardless of other homes around. Has a game room that kept we participated playing games. Very clean in and out. Went fishing, site seeing, gambling, saw young elk in Pine. Shopped in near by towns. Enjoyed Beeline cafe, and the Bandit. We able to reach Doug at any time if needed. Very kind and helped us recover an item that we left behind. They are awesome! Highly recommended his rental. Thank you!

Family Friendly

The home was spacious and welcoming. The view from the back deck was beautiful. Inside plenty of room for sitting six kids and adults. The game room was a hit. Playing ping pong with the family. Kid’s love to play outside and how nice it was to have a nice fire pit outside with the family sitting around eating s’mores.

Lovely stay in Payson!

The house is wonderful! We enjoyed the quiet—with sounds of birds—from the large and comfortable deck with a swing seat. The deck has views of the immediate open natural area and a more distant forested hill. We saw lizards, a javelina, elk, hawks, and hummingbirds from the deck, in the natural area behind the house. We enjoyed quiet walks and exploration with children right off of the back of the house, with shaded, quiet seating near the fire pit. The house is large, comfortable, clean, and well stocked with blankets, towels, a laundry room, and everything one might need for all sorts of cooking. The house was very comfortable for our party of 6, including a toddler and preteen child. It is a lovely, relaxing, and peaceful place to stay! Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

What a great experience!

We went up hoping to catch some snow and got there just before and left just after it arrived. The property was well heated, and the snowy view was amazing. The owners offer great amenities, the bedrooms offered lots of sleeping options, and the pool table was a blast. The walking trails were great for the dogs, who really enjoyed the wrap-around deck. Any questions we had were quickly answered and the available wood was a lifesaver when we didn't want to drive in the snow. Thanks!

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.

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!
