Perched amongst the tall pines of Forest Lakes, "The Lookout" is a classic 2-bedroom A-frame cabin designed for small families or couples seeking a quiet escape. Enjoy cool mountain breezes from the private upper balcony, roast s'mores by the fire pit, or explore the nearby lakes. It’s a rustic, nature-focused basecamp for your Rim Country adventures. The Space: ✨ Top Amenities • The Lookout Deck: A private upper balcony perfect for morning coffee and bird watching. • Family Friendly: Equipped with a Pack ’n Play, High Chair, and baby safety gates for peace of mind. • Outdoor Living: Features a gas BBQ grill, cornhole boards, and a wood-burning fire pit. 🏠 Inside the Home • Living Area: A cozy, knotty-pine gathering space with a gas fireplace for chilly nights, a Smart TV for movie marathons, and board games for family fun. • Kitchen: Fully equipped with a stove, oven, microwave, and full-size fridge. We provide a coffee maker, toaster, and the cookware needed to whip up cabin meals. • Sleeping Arrangements (Strict Bed Count): Bedroom 1 (Upstairs): One Queen Bed with access to the balcony. Bedroom 2 (Upstairs): Two Single Beds (Twin size) – perfect for kids or friends. Note on Capacity: The listing allows up to 5 guests, but we have beds for 4\. The 5th guest would need to sleep on the living room sofa (non-pullout) or use a guest-provided air mattress. • Bathroom: One full bathroom located on the main floor with a bathtub/shower combination. ⚠️ Honest Expectations (Please Read Before Booking) To ensure this cabin is the right fit for your group, here are a few "need to knows": • The Stairs: This is a classic A-frame with a steep staircase. While we provide safety gates, it may be difficult for toddlers or guests with limited mobility. • The Layout: Both bedrooms are located upstairs, while the only bathroom is located downstairs. Guests will need to navigate the stairs for midnight bathroom trips. • Baby Gear: We list a crib/highchair as amenities, but please note these are stored in the closet/storage areas to save space. You may need to set them up upon arrival. • Nature is Neighbors: We are located deep in the National Forest. You may encounter local wildlife and insects. Please keep food secured to avoid attracting critters. • Climate: It gets cold here! We recommend bringing slippers for the wood floors and layering up in the winter months. Guest Access: You will have private access to the entire cabin via a secure keyless entry system. A unique door code will be sent to you prior to arrival for self-check-in after 3:00 PM. Parking is free and available directly in front of the cabin. The Neighborhood: "The Lookout" is situated in the quiet, residential community of Forest Lakes Estates. We are at roughly 7,600 feet elevation, meaning temperatures are typically 30–40° cooler than the Phoenix valley. It is a dark-sky community, offering incredible stargazing from the fire pit area. Getting Around: • Lakes: Just 5 minutes to Willow Springs Lake and Woods Canyon Lake for trout fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. • Adventure: Direct access to forest service roads and off-road trails right from the neighborhood. • Snow Play: A short drive to snow play areas and cross-country skiing trails. Sunrise Ski Resort is a day-trip distance away. • Essentials: The Forest Lakes General Store is nearby for basic grab-and-go items, but we recommend grocery shopping in Payson (30 mins) or Heber-Overgaard (20 mins) before arriving. Other Things to Note: • Winter Travel: From November to March, winter storms can occur suddenly. A 4WD or AWD vehicle is highly recommended, and carrying tire chains may be required by the Department of Public Safety (DPS) during active snow events. • Pet Policy: We love dogs! Non-service dogs are welcome for an additional fee; please contact us for details prior to booking. We kindly ask that you bring your own pet blankets or beds to cover any furniture where your dog may lay. • Security Deposit: A refundable security deposit is required to cover potential damages. Please contact us to confirm the specific amount; it is fully refundable provided the property is left in good condition. Interaction with Guests: I respect your privacy and offer self-check-in, so you can arrive and relax without interruption. However, I am fully available via platform messages to answer questions, recommend local trails, or assist with any issues that arise during your stay. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![King Luxury | Iron/ironing board, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1610000/1604800/1604800/0114d5da.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Majestic Mountain Inn Payson - Pool - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly - Parking included 8.6 Excellent 1,755 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=1604800&PinnedHotelID=1604800&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Lobby sitting area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/190000/181500/181438/b7384763.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kohl's Ranch Lodge Payson - Pool - Hot tub - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 9.4 Exceptional 1,446 reviews £73 includes taxes & fees 22 Mar - 23 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-22&endDate=2026-03-23&selected=181438&PinnedHotelID=181438&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Deluxe Single Room | Free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108870000/108861700/108861645/742d3876.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Payson Inn & Suites Payson - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Microwave 8.4 Very good 371 reviews £60 includes taxes & fees 25 Mar - 26 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-25&endDate=2026-03-26&selected=108861645&PinnedHotelID=108861645&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91680000/91672100/91672027/e6f5dbe2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kohls Ranch Lodge Payson - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Gym 9.2 Wonderful 27 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=91672027&PinnedHotelID=91672027&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Lobby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/13000/12911/7ce025c5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Best Western Sawmill Inn Heber - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 8.4 Very good 730 reviews £103 includes taxes & fees 22 Mar - 23 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-22&endDate=2026-03-23&selected=12911&PinnedHotelID=12911&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![A3 The Bear | Individually furnished, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100630000/100622100/100622076/941dd9c5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rusty Buck Inn Heber - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 104 reviews £110 includes taxes & fees 20 Mar - 21 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-20&endDate=2026-03-21&selected=100622076&PinnedHotelID=100622076&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1160000/1151900/1151864/587e5921.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### WorldMark Pinetop Pinetop - Pool - Hot tub - Kids’ pool - Parking included 9.4 Exceptional 306 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=1151864&PinnedHotelID=1151864&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105220000/105211800/105211788/b8657912.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hike & Snow Play!
