Weekend in the pines
We had such a lovely weekend at this cabin! The cabin was cozy with plenty of beds for kids to choose from. We especially enjoyed spending time on the big back porch where we could see and hear our kids playing in the creek. We all can’t wait to go back!

Great Boardgame Getaway
A few friends wanted to escape the heat of Phoenix and play board games in some beautiful scenery. The cabin was perfect for us! Lots of comfy space, incredibly clean, gorgeous background access to the creek and nature, and a really well equipped kitchen.

Wonderful Cabin and Location!
This is a wonderful cabin in the Tonto National Forest just 20 minutes outside of Payson. The cabin is clean, with a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, situated in a secluded, rural neighborhood on a beautiful lot backing up directly to Tonto Creek. The constant, subtle sound of the running creek will sooth your mind and soul. The owners were very responsive to our questions and requests. We had a great stay.
