Rainbow Ridge Retreat in Payson, Arizona!

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.

The house was very comfortable and very very clean. It was much bigger than expected. We appreciated the “old country” vibe. The only thing missing was a bbq. But we were not far from town, so we just changed dinner plans. We would love to visit this house in the near future! Highly recommend!!!!!!

This place was an amazing place. They had a card and treats with drinks inside of the refrigerator waiting for us. They also had crayon colored pencils and paint set up for the kids. The house very charming with lots of character. The instructions to close down the cabin were very clear and precise and they even provided bedding, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. They even had games and baby pack and play for us to use. I would definitely book this place again seriously if you’re looking for a place to stay in Payson, I would definitely use this place.

The home was larger than expected! The pictures didn’t do it justice. Owner was friendly and easy to contact. There were more amenities than she listed . Extra board games, smores and stocked art room for the kiddos. Home was simple, clean and well equipped . Will be booking again.
