Jul 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great cabin getaway Nice cabin really close to Phoenix for a quick getaway from the heat. Tonto creek is just infront of cabin maybe 60 feet away we caught trout and crayfish the water was cold and very nice clear for the most part. ##### Justin R. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen H. Jun 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Special Time At the end of summer our family likes to take an end of school celebration vacation. This cabin was perfect for us, plenty of space inside and a spacious patio outside. Tonto Creek is just on the other side of the road where the kids played and our fisherman got to fish. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The cabin is very clean and well stocked. I have to mention the queen size mattress isn't the best so if your back is out it won't be happy. And there is a flight of stairs to get up to the cabin/deck/entrance so if you don't do steps well it could be an issue. But other than that, we had a wonderful time and thank you so much for accommodating all our "hoopla." Blessings! ##### Ellen H. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael M.

Everything was as advertised Host was responsive (even had new coffee pot delivered when i had trouble with the one here). And our dogs loved it (most important with a dog friendly property), they give it 5 stars. ##### Michael M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric D.
