Just as pictured
The house was just as pictured. It was set up perfectly for our needs. It was quiet, relaxing, and a great place to come back to after long days of hiking. We loved the scenery, the wildlife, game room etc. The list goes on. It would have been a bonus if there was a second tv. Although we didn’t watch it until evenings with littles a second would be great option to not have to compromise on what is being watched. We would definitely come back!

Lovely location
We so enjoyed the property. The kitchen was well stocked, and both decks were spectacular. Really appreciated the coffee station. Also, it was easy for the different family members to be comfortable, even when my parents wanted their bedroom at 77 and I wanted mine at 66, because the downstairs area remained pretty cool naturally. Seriously, nothing beats that view. And the bottle of wine left for us was so nice.

Amazing cabin with amazing views
This cabin is awesome. The views are breathtaking. By far the best views I’ve ever had staying in a short term rental. We saw numerous elk in the valley below in the evening, which was a pleasant surprise. There were even binoculars provided so that we could get a better look at them. The host was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. I’m already thinking about when me and my family can come back.

Great getaway
At first me and my friends were slightly disappointed as we really wanted to have a campfire outside but due to the time of year we were not able to do this. However, the property and view were absolutely spectacular and we were able to have a phenomenal time. The towns of Pine and Strawberry is definitely my favorite area of Arizona and this property has been one of my favorites to stay at. Highly recommended.

Unbelievably beautiful
The views alone make this a must stay. But the thoughtfulness the hosts put into stocking the cabin really separate this from anything else you could find for the price. It’s so comfortable, well-appointed, and welcoming that you won’t want to leave. In fact, we decided to stay an extra day/ night! Susan is ridiculously responsive and considerate! Beautiful location with many elk and deer sightings, gorgeous sunsets and snow still dusting the landscape- it was a picture postcard of a mountain getaway! Close to restaurants, wine tasting, provisions for meals, etc. Don’t miss the PieBar!

The views from this cabin are spectacular. The pictures on the site are the reason we rented this home, and they did not disappoint! Such a beautiful view of the valley and many changing leaves. The beds were really comfortable with wonderful linens! The kitchen, well-appointed and lovely! Our group consisted of guests in their 70s and 80s and all the steps were a lot especially at the altitude of the cabin. Overall, a truly magical experience!
