Fantastic views and great place to get away from it all

Views from the porch of the Mogollon rim and surrounding area are stunning. A short walk down the road are hiking trails and the Tonto National forest. Many other hiking trailheads in the area are a short drive away. The nearby East Verde River is very scenic. We enjoyed sitting around the nice fire pit almost every night. Kitchen has all the necessities and more and the propane BBQ grill was great to cook steaks.

Disappointing

Our stay started by arriving to an unclean rental with an elderly man still inside cleaning over 1 hour after check in. It was a mess. Pros: location is great, quiet, up the hill, decent views, close to natural water and great hikes. Cons: listing details are inaccurate. Treehouse was a total let down as you could only use the bottom floor which only had a table and triple small bunk. Owners well aware the above floor was not usable because they did not “have time” to repair it after a leak. The listing should have reflected this info or at least it should have been disclosed when requesting the booking so we could have chosen an alternative listing. The home is HOT if you stay in the summer and remain in the upstairs living area, downstairs gets incredibly cool but is also very very loud from the AC so we all had to stay upstairs. Curtains are useless as they don’t fit the windows for any privacy. Bedding smelled horrible and the bedding in the first room upstairs to the right had holes all over it. Not just one small hole, the pillow case was falling apart and the beds and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. Our fault for assuming new mattresses meant good quality. Our kids ended up sleeping on the couches (which also do not match the listing images). The seating outside had no cushions and the washer smelled of mildew so I’d recommend bringing enough extra clothes So you don’t have to wash, could explain the smell on the bedding. Will not stay again.

Nature calls

This is a super cozy cabin in a prime location! We stayed a week and everything was perfect. Secluded without any visible neighbors and the back deck has a beautiful view. Perfect location and more than accommodating. Kitchen is large and we were a large group. The treehouse was a total hit with the kids and has room to sleep so many. We swam at the water wheel...hiked the bridge crossings...caught some trout...went geode hunting on the property and it was super fruitful. We Had a blast. We had a front row seat to the starlink satelite launchs 3 nights in a row. We were visited by Elk and Havelina and a horned beetle or two. We went bug hunting and caught a massive grasshoper.. if you are looking for some nature in your life this is the prime location for relaxtion! We will be back!

9 year old daughter had a blast with the tree house. Great views and relaxing. If the weather had cooperated we could have gone out and dome some hiking and exploring. Would go back, but during a warmer part of the year so we could be outside more.

Amazing cabin, tree house and what a priceless experience for our family! The views are as if you are right in the forest! Highly suggest this cabin and the kiddos loved the tree house! *Only suggestion would be more lights at night time in the front yard and yard areas....not sure if its a town ordinance but it was very dark

Dirty drinking water

Cons: Wi-Fi password incorrect & landline didn’t work Water from faucets was muddy-no drinking water Power is not stable Pros: Wood stove when power went out-luckily we brought our own wood Kids loved the snow and space in the yard Treehouse is fun and unique and heated Cozy layout- nice kitchen I want to give 5 stars because my kids had so much fun in the treehouse and playing in the huge yard with all the snow. The house had a nice kitchen and setup with the wood stove. However when we arrived there was no cell service and the Wi-Fi password posted was incorrect so we had no means of communication since the house phone didn’t work either. And about 20 min after arrival we were handyman showed up to replace the house water filter because the water coming out of the faucet was brown. Luckily he gave us the Wi-Fi password. The water didn’t clear up for another day and we were without clean drinking water with no alternative source of water other than what we had in our own thermoflasks since the roads were snow and ice. The response from the host “it’s possible the water will clear up if you let it run since the filter is new”. If I am paying someone to stay at their cabin I expect to have clean running water not muddy liquid. I am not exaggerating, if I could attach a photo I would. It was gross. Also the host obviously knew of the issue before we arrived and never notified us. Also the power went out and it was lucky we brought our own wood for the wood stove otherwise we would have been freezing with the snow storm going on outside.

Relaxing house in the woods with great views.

The place is beautifully nestled at the top of a hill in a massive forest. The treehouse offered hours of playtime to our children while we relaxed ourselves. The firepit is perfect and there is a gas grill that cooks well too. Its a sleepy location great for decompressing.

Great family vaca

We had a great time here. It was better than expected. Great location near super great hikes for the little ones (kids ages 4, 5, 9, 10) and everyone loved it. No TV in the main room which was actually perfect for us (there are two TVs though…. So it’s not like you don’t have that option). We played, explored, played board games. Great kitchen for cooking but we did have to go get coffee/filters/cooking spray… some of the basics we may have anticipated having already supplied in the rental… but again, not a big deal. We would love to stay again. Kids loved the treehouse.

Much needed getaway

We came up to this cabin hoping for a nice getaway during October break. The location was awesome, up near the top of the road, we barely saw another soul. Views from the back porch were amazing all day long. Treehouse was lots of fun, kids liked having "their own place" and the heater kept them warm all night, which was great because it was extra cold the few days we were there! Firepit, indoor fire, nice kitchen with everything that we needed. We loved being so close to the Verde river to walk, explore the crossings, enjoy the falling leaves, and disconnect from reality. Thank you for a great family experience!
