We had a very enjoyable stay at the Payson property. Everything was just as advertised on the VRBO site. The home was clean, well kept and close to the needed amenities for a stay of any duration. This property is very family-friendly. Doug the host answered any questions we had in a timely manner. We would definitely consider staying at the property again.

The property is very well maintained and the house is very clean. The view from the deck is beautiful, excellent spot to have coffee, and meals. The air conditioning really came in handy for the muggy nights. The hiking trails that are only 1.5 miles away are maintained very well and a pleasure to use. The host is very responsive to requests and needs. I highly recommend the Payson House and would consider using this location again when visiting the area.

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!
