We found a gem at the bottom of Star Valley. The guesthouse has a private area for your horses and directly across the street is a riding facility with lessons for the kids. It is a studio guesthouse without stove/oven but they have a grill and flattop in their courtyard outdoor kitchen which is a beautiful area to relax in. There is a small stream on location which was great to splash in with the kids as well. 10 min to Payson from the ranch. ##### Chris R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Larissa V.

The peaceful atmosphere surrounded by the mountains is exactly what we needed. The property manager was easy to communicate with (24/7 text). The room itself was nice. Basic, with everything you need for a short stay. VERY CLEAN!! Beds are nice. I liked the extra touch of the little USB charger ports on the night stands. Bathroom was nice. Shower was a little small. Owner lives in main house on site. Very easy going. Everything was great, especially considering the low price for a holiday weekend! The only surprise we had was the burn ban we weren’t aware of. We unknowingly violated the ban when we lit up the beautiful fire pit in the back yard. The communication leading up to our stay mentioned how to safely use the fire pit... so during the burn ban, I would recommend removing those items from the listing/emails, and instead mention that there is an area-wide burn ban (with possibly a laminated note inside the guest house). ##### Mike B.

Quiet, yet close to everything you want to do or need. ##### Greg K. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gilbert G.

Arizona Vacation Home Rentals graciously accommodated a last minute request to stay. Guesthouse is perfect: clean, comfortable beds and lots of extras. The owners kindly helped us get our pony settled and we slept better than expected because he was feet away in a nice stall and we knew we would hear him if he got restless. We made a great meal in the outdoor kitchen and enjoyed relaxing afterwards on the swing while our pony explored the turn out area. The grounds are well manicured and views are extremely beautiful! Wish we could have stayed longer and used the hot tub. Tonto National Forest has riding trails that connect to the property and we took a lovely morning ride. It was amazing! This is a sweet little ranch with impressive quarters for riders and horses. The rental company (AVHR) and owners want you to be comfortable and it shows. We plan to stay here again on our way back. We highly recommend this super guesthouse and rental company! Thanks for sharing your very special place with us! ##### Gilbert G.
