A Lovely Mountain Chalet

The main benefits of “Hodge Lodge” are LOCATION and VIEW.
LOCATION: Our house is about 1 mile from stores and restaurants. It borders Tonto National Forest at the end of Pine View Dr. on the eastern slope of Strawberry Mountain. The area is secluded and peaceful with lots of wildlife.

VIEW: The view is really nice. You see the whole valley and have a clear view of the Mogollon Rim. When you are on the upper deck you are nearly at tree top level and nothing will block your view. The night sky and stars are breathtaking.

The house has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms that will sleep 8 in beds and for additional sleep options we have a futon in the fireplace room and sleeping pads in the loft.

The 4th bedroom is an apartment which has a private access from the back of the house. It has a King size bed, bathroom with shower, microwave, refrigerator, private patio, WiFi, 42 inch flat screen with satellite TV, and two recliner chairs.

This spacious chalet has (2500 sq. ft.) of living space and almost 2000 sq. ft. of outside decking nestled in the forest. It is a very relaxing and peaceful place. Everything you would need to prepare meals or relax is furnished.

This house is located at the end of a well maintained gravel road. It is one of the highest locations in Pine situated on the east slope of Strawberry Mountain. The view is spectacular. The upper level deck raps around the house for 360 degree view of the area. Our living room is within feet of the Tonto national forest. You would be totally surrounded by tall Ponderosa pines. There are lots of wildlife small and large to view. (Elk, Deer, Coyotes and a variety of small game)
We are within walking distance to antique shops, restaurants, bars, library, community center and playground. Pine/Strawberry host several seasonal arts and crafts festivals, rodeos and other special events. There are many hiking, mountain biking and riding trails. Go horseback riding, golfing, fishing or swimming in the creeks/rivers. Pine has much to offer such as antique shops, restaurants, specialty stores, arts and craft festivals and other special events.
You would be 90 minutes north of Phoenix
157 miles from the Grand Canyon
5 miles from the north side of the Mogollon Rim
13 miles from Payson which has golf, airport, Restaurants, Movies, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and lots of locally owned shops.

Nice little getaway in the mountains
We enjoyed staying at the home. The kitchen had most things we needed and it was very nice that there was a kids gate on the stairs and no stairs off the large wrap around porch. It made it safe for the kids to play. We wished the AC worked a little better but the host answered some questions about how to get it to work more efficiently very quickly.

Great place with lots of nature!
The Hodge Lodge is a wonderful place to stay! It is a quiet area with lots of room to roam, and we saw lots of wild life outside of the kitchen window! Going on the deck at night and looking at the stars was breathtaking. Lots of kitchen supplies is provided, as well as towels and extra toilet paper! There are many locks, so you can feel extra secure in this chalet.

Pine - A Great Place To Recharge
Pine is a nice, small community with plenty of things to do within a short distance. Our rental was comfortable, and accommodated our party with room to spare. Nestled atop a hill, the views from the wrap-around patio were spectacular. It was most certainly a welcome rest, away from the hubbub of urban life. And the pace of life was how set by you. Some days were filled with activity, others were just staying around the house soaking up the fresh air and looking for wildlife from the comfort of your balcony. All in all, we wanted for nothing while staying at the lodge. I’d most certainly go back for another relaxing break.

Beautiful and Peaceful Get Away
I loved all the different views. I couldn't get enough. I loved having the private balcony, I drank my coffee there every morning. The only thing that in the end worked out in our favor, but wouldn't have if everyone who was supposed to come, came that might be helpful to mention is that the only way to get to the Master bedroom is through the kids room... which worked out well becuase it meant our son(5) was right next to us which made him feel comfortable. Beautiful place.

Stayed at this property over Labor Day. Pictures were helpful and the description was accurate. Plenty of room for my family of 5. The house is designed to take advantage of the beautiful view and the decks were a major reason we selected this property. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would choose to rent this property again.

Peaceful and relaxing
Rented this cabin for my girlfriends birthday and invited close friends as a surprise. The cabin accommodated everyone just fine even with teenage girls due to the 4 bathrooms. Everyone enjoyed the views and the peacefulness of being in the woods. Room to play cornhole and other games as well. The wrap around deck is awesome. Wake up early enough and the elk walk right by the downstairs apartment. Very nice place and owner was very helpful and responsive. Would recommend to others.

Spacious, charming, family-friendly mountain home with amazing views
The Hodge Lodge was a beautiful and charming place with excellent views. It is well-suited for families with kids, and my kids loved it so much that they didn't want to leave! The wraparound deck is the best! We saw elk several times! Further, Pine itself is a cute small town with shops, parks, churches, farm stands, a post office, a library, and even a town museum. The house is both very quiet and isolated (great for star-gazing and nature-watching), but a quick drive to needed amenities. Two folks in our family even went hiking on a nearby mountain. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were excellent, the laundry room was convenient, and the kitchen was well-appointed. (Attention families with young kids: there are kid dishes, a high chair, a toddler swing, kid furniture, and a baby gate!) There are games and DVDs available for additional entertainment. There are plenty of living spaces to spread out, including a big kid-friendly loft, a cozy fireplace room, and a spacious television room. (We hooked up our laptop to the television to stream movies.) It's also a great place for folks who need to work from home, with plenty of quiet space. The only drawback was that the house needed a deeper cleaning (more detailed dusting and mopping). It was fine for our purposes, but I ended up sweeping and wiping some walls. There was also no trash pickup when we were there. Overall, our family felt very safe and comfortable there, and we recommend this property to anyone! It's a beautiful home.
