The best part of our cabin? It backs up directly to miles of open forest perfect for exploring. Extreme privacy! Set back in the pines for the feeling of ultra privacy just 25 minutes from the town of Payson.

Perfect for the whole family or on an intimate one on one retreat, you are sure to enjoy the best that mother nature has to offer. With the gorgeous views from the wrap around patio, hammocks between the pines, indoor & outdoor fireplace.

Miles of national forest right in the backyard highlighted by a natural spring, nearby year round running water & waterfalls there is no better way to unplug and enjoy the seclusion of nature in a very private setting.

A 2100 sqft cabin on 2 acres backing to miles of national forest perfect for exploring and hiking. A portion of the property is fenced off. Also a short drive to Water Wheel to see some fun waterfalls on a short hike.

Very secluded property however only a short 25 minute drive into Payson to enjoy everything the town has to offer.

Best property for a large dog and elk viewing
The gates at both ends of the balcony and the large fenced in area make this home the perfect place to take your dog. We saw 4-5 elk every single day we were there. It was lovely. Our host was very kind and responsive to all our needs. He always responded to my inquiries within minutes.

Great family cabin
We loved our stay at this cabin. My four teens all had space to spread out with comfortable family areas for us to spend time together. The property was the perfect secluded cabin we were looking for and we even had elk come visit us every evening.

Great Stay
Great getaway in the woods! The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking, relaxing and having fun. It was so nice being able to take our dog on vacation with us and the fenced backyard meant he could be outside worry-free. There were even dog bowls and a dog bed for him! The cabin backs up to a fully wooded area and we truly felt like we were isolated since any neighboring houses are not in view. The hammocks and stash of puzzles, coloring books and board games kept the whole family busy. Would definitely recommend this place for a family getaway and we will be back for sure! Host is amazing!

This property is the perfect place to enjoy peace and quiet; spend time with your dog(s); relax and read in the hammocks; go hiking; ride RZR's on the off-road trails and enjoy being away from the city. We had an absolutely AWESOME time! Thank you! :)

Beautiful and peaceful
The cabin was exactly what I was looking for, for the kiddos spring break. The backyard goes into the Forrest which was beautiful. It was quiet and peaceful, which is what I needed and relaxing on the hammock made it perfect. We enjoyed s’mores by the fire and my little one loved the tree swing. We will be back and already recommend to friends :)

Exactly what we needed!
We chose this property for a quick spring break getaway and we're not disappointed. We loved the secluded nature of the property and the proximity to hiking trails in the area. About a 30 minute drive to Payson and Pine, easy to get to and the roads were well maintained with the snow we received. Saw cows and javelina in the neighborhood and a coyote in the yard. The house itself was great, plenty of space for the 4 of us, with a huge kitchen great for meals. We also loved playing Ringo and the game closet was stocked.

Perfect! Exceeded expectations. Stay here!
I could go on for pages and pages about everything that was great about our experience here, but the short answer is just a resounding "Yes!". Miles of uninterrupted forest out the back door. We were greeted by grazing elk 40 feet away when we pulled up. Property is secluded, quiet, at the end of the road, but short drive back to town if you forget something. Brick is a great host. Attentive, quick response, down to earth. Like talking to a friend. We were as comfortable here as at our own house, and are already planning our next trip back. PS - Oh my, the stars!

Exactly what we were looking for…
The property is just as described and the host was great. If you are looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay with your family (dogs included) that feels remote and private but isn’t in the middle of no where, look no further. My children loved everything about our stay. We hiked in the forest, found geodes, played in the snow, laid in the hammocks, used the swing and play house and ventured out to see Water Wheel and Shoofly. We spent time inside as well by the fireplace, playing games, building puzzles and watching movies. It was exactly how we wanted to spend the long weekend away. Brick, the host was helpful and responsive. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We absolutely loved this property. The owner was super communicative and easy to get in touch with. The property is beautiful, the house was perfect and we saw elk every day we were there. It was really amazing and there are so many geodes everywhere in the hills that my kids went geode hunting for hours and hours on end. We will absolutely be back!

Made Memories
FEEL like we got what we paid for plus more. The home has so many different areas to explore and enjoy. The stars at night, the rain on the adjacent mountain, elk, javalina, the deck in the morning with coffee, throwing the ball off the deck and teaching my poodles a new game "search and find", (that kept them occupied for 10 minutes or more). This home WILL not disappoint.
