Wake up to birds singing, a breeze blowing through the trees, and a view the Mogollon Rim! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath house is conveniently located just 2 miles up Houston Mesa Rd. and is steps from the national forest, making it an ideal place to take your ATVs out and explore. Relax, fish, splash and play in the Verde River at First Crossing or Water Wheel, just 5-7 miles up the road. Look for elk meandering down the street and quail crossing through the yard. During a warm summer rain, view stunning double rainbows on the rim and at night do some star gazing and see the Milky Way. The house has a large living room with a sectional sofa and plenty of room to stretch out and read a good book or watch a movie. During the winter watch the snow fall while the two fireplaces in the house provide a cozy, relaxing ambience. There are plenty of board games for family engagement as well as a sunroom with tables and supplies for those who like to express themselves artistically through the medium of watercolors, acrylic paints or colored pencils and crayons. Outside there are two patios and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows and a cornhole game for the competitive. Local restaurants are just a short drive into town, including our favorites Thai Station (in the Basha's plaza) and La Sierra located in Swiss Village. Strawberry, Pine and the Natural Bridge are also located within a twenty minute drive and are wonderful places to explore. For hiking we recommend the 6.2 mile trail off of Phoenix Street as you come into town, and for kayaking, we travel up to Woods Canyon Lake or Willow Springs. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - No elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![TV, fireplace, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/80000000/79490000/79480900/79480802/94d0f6a1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Forest Cabin 2 Alpine Escape Christopher Creek - Pet friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space - Parking available 8.8 Excellent 8 reviews CA $136 CA $246 total includes taxes & fees Mar 31 - Apr 1 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-31&endDate=2026-04-01&selected=79480802&PinnedHotelID=79480802&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57700000/57699500/57699432/159edd0d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 🌲Log cabin in Payson.
