Comfortable cabin
Spent 3 days at this cabin with adult children and grandchildren ages 2-14. The cabin is set up with all the conveniences we needed away from home. And the location was perfect for our group. Some wanted fishing and others hiking. Best location and amazing setting! We hope to visit again! Thank you!!

Friends reunion
Some lifelong friends and I rented this cabin for a few days in October 2022. The location is great, and the cabin and property are really nice. It is a very quiet setting even though some other cabins and properties are nearby. We heard no one other than our own quiet group after about 5 pm. There are a couple great restaurants nearby, along with excellent hiking and trout fishing literally within 8-10 miles. You can hear the elk calling at times .. we heard this on 2 out of our 4 mornings there. We even saw some elk on 3 of the days. We spent much of our time at the fire pit, which is so relaxing with the trees and the setting. Payson is about 20 minutes away, even has an fantastic urgent care with great medical staff (I broke a finger 1st day there 🙄). This property has everything you need … fem dishes and silverware to aluminum foil to coffee and even a washing machine and dryer with laundry detergent and softener sheets!! From hiking, fishing, trail riding, bon fires, a gas grill, and cabin living in general, this place has all of it. Very safe with friendly neighbors. I highly recommend it!!
