Romantic Chalet in the Forest
Our Chalet offers a large loft Bedroom with a queen bed. Beautiful views of the Mogollon Rim from the bed, and of the National Forest to the back. Downstairs bedroom has full bed. In the living room you will find a wonderful wood burning stove. The living room has incredible views from the cathedral like windows. Kitchen has everything except your food. Outdoor deck is very private with tall pine trees providing lovely shade. Our cabin is located at the very back of the lot right up to the National Forest. It is in a very private setting. If you are looking for a cozy couples retreat, we think you've found it! Note, the Century Link Internet out in the forest is spotty at times. Please don't expect it to work well, and after all it's not why we are up there!

LOVED this property and amenities. Such a great getaway from the Valley and the heat. Lots of hiking to do just in the neighborhood. The hosts were extremely responsive and we had no issues at all. We for sure will be back when we want to escape the valley.

I would say nice but a work in progress, still needs some basics of repair in and outside the house starting with the deck, nails and rot everywhere. We did enjoy ourselves, fresh air and cooler temps.......

Exactly what I needed…..a few days out of the Phoenix heat. Very quiet, residential location, with much privacy and friendly neighbors. My dog and I were able to hike and walk the neighborhood several times a day. I especially appreciated the small fenced-in area behind the house to let my dog be off-leash. I don’t think I saw that bit of information in the listing. I also found a wooden baby-gate in the loft that I used to block off one side of the patio to keep my dog contained as I relaxed on the lounge chair. The stainless steel water/food bowls were a nice surprise! YES, I will book again at this property next summer.

I stay here every year. Unfortunately this year my stay was cut short by the Washington fire- my cats and i had to evacuate. Communication with the host through this stressful time was excellent and my safety was clearly a top priority. I'm very happy the cabin didn't burn so I can come back next year!

This was a perfect place for our family of 4! All the comforts of home in the secluded forest. You don't see any neighbors but plenty of stars! The host was easy and delightful to communicate with. I highly recommend. Just keep in mind you are in the mountains so you may come across some interesting insects and spiders. :)

Peaceful Retreat
The house is surrounded by the forest. Has nice natural lighting from a beautiful large window in the living room. We had everything we needed to cook & relax there. There's a creek across the street with a quiet neighborhood for walking. The host was very responsive and pleasant. We look forward to staying here again!

We were looking for something that was off the beaten path and quiet. This property met that expectation perfectly. The accommodation itself was lovely, with a fully stocked kitchen. The bathroom and sleeping areas were lovely as well. It was very nice to be able to go out for an early morning hike starting from the property. Loved it! Our favorite part though was interacting with the host Gabe. He was very responsive and went out of his way to respond quickly and to streamline the process. He did a fantastic job.

Peaceful Getaway
My husband and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary and my birthday during our stay. It was our first time being away from our 18 month old son and it was exactly what we needed to reconnect and rejuvenate. It was perfectly tucked away from any neighbors and each morning we enjoyed listening to the birds and stream of water. The stars at night were spectacular. We highly recommend this place for anyone who is desiring to unwind and unplug from the busyness of every day life.

Cottage in the woods.
This is our second time here. The cabin is situated where the morning sun steams through the big window. It is also where you have no neighbors. We love having a cup of coffee on the front porch and bask in the quiet of the woods. Just lovely. Very Private as well.
