Felt like Trumpville
The cabin is fine. It could have been a touch cleaner, as it was apparent a man was the last one to use the toilet. Other than that, aside from religious items EVERYWHERE in the house and the whole neighborhood flying their crazy Trump flags, it was fine. Would I return? No, but only because of the neighborhood, not because of the cabin.

Daughter’s birthday weekend
It was a cute place but could use some fixing up. Such as paint and some deep cleaning. I would also suggest having different sizes of pillows for the bed. The pillows were super thick and hurt our necks. We ended up using blankets instead.Check in went smooth and property manager was very friendly. I asked prior if they had a coffee pot and was told yes. They had two coffee makers, a Keurig and regular coffee maker. We tried using the Keurig, it was dirty and spilled coffee and coffee grinds all over the counter and floor. The other coffee pot was dirty so we drove to town to get coffee. The jacuzzi was nice and hot but the jets on one side didn’t work very well and the water was extremely cloudy. There needs to be more lighting around the jacuzzi area.It’s in a beautiful location and easy to find. I feel it was a bit overpriced for what it was.

Girls weekend getaway
Overall excellent. It was quiet, a good time to gather and refresh with friends. Us moms needed this quick getaway. The cottage was cozy and well kept, had everything we needed from extra toiletries, to seasonings and extra towels and blankets. Overall clean, there are 2 trash bin in the kitchen one was half full of empty beer bottles no big deal. There was also a fairly large amount of hair in the shower drain cover.
We didnt arrive until evening but the hosts instructions were easy to follow. We were worried when we got to the bridge as water was running across (as it’s supposed to we later learned). The host did mention in the instructions the water was shallow but we were a little scared crossing at night because we couldn’t see just how shallow it was.
Lastly, the bathroom door is a barn door which doesn’t allow for much privacy in the bathroom.
For those reasons I’m giving a 4/5
we enjoyed our stay very much and would love to return in the future!

The little details were very welcoming... chocolates on our pillows, popcorn while enjoying a movie and coffee pods for the morning. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood and is very relaxing.

Great Cozy Cottage!
My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Cozy Cottage. The owners have gone above and beyond ensuring we did not want for anything! We very much appreciated all of the little extra touches! The cottage was nestled in a quiet neighborhood just a 10 minute drive to shopping and restaurants. Close proximity to Tonto Natural Bridge and Wagon Wheel too! Would stay again!

Pleasantly Happy
My husband and I went to the cozy cottage as we needed his place to stay in the area close to Camp LoMia in Pine… The home was easy to find, easy access and had the most comfortable king bed. We enjoyed the Jacuzzi every evening. We didn’t have much time to enjoy the rest of the house, but I was pleasantly surprised to see lots of little extras that the owner had left for us as a renter to use. I think the extras make a big difference the next day after checking out, I realized I had lost my bracelet and I quickly called the owner… She found it and mailed it back to me at no charge… I thought she was the kindest person to help me with this. I would definitely rent here again!

Cute relaxation
Such a cute little place. Great hot tub that was easy to open. Tons of games and activities - we didn’t bring kids, but has toys for littles. Close neighbors, but I didn’t see anyone and only heard one car drive by - very private. Kitchen had everything we needed. Comfy bed that even had chocolates on our pillows.
Really enjoyed our trip up from Gold Canyon for 2 nights. Such a unique cabin. Interesting conversation with Verla. The bed was super comfortable. We'd love to come back up.
We also enjoyed local beer & yummy eats at That Brewery in Pine. Had Elk Chili. Saw some elk near the road. Im sure they weren't related.

Spent 2 nights in this beautiful home with my boyfriend for my birthday celebration. Gorgeous drive up, easy check in and the amenities were more than I expected, even down to shampoo in the shower and ice in the fridge. Clean and comfy, I really didn't want to check out. I 10000% intend to book again!!!!
