This perfect Cabin in the Woods is located in a hidden away, and remote community, of both full-time residents and vacation homes situated along the East Verde River at the base of the Mogollon Rim and approximately a mile away from one of the best hiking areas in the region...Water Wheel Falls (see pics)! Yet it is only 8 miles from downtown Payson. This Cabin is situated in a prime location and is a spectacular gem! The "Nut House", as we affectionately like to call our A-frame Cabin (no nut trees on the property), is an extremely well-appointed property and includes 3 comfy bedrooms (sleeps 6...with up to 5 adults MAXIMUM), 1 spacious full bath with 2 sinks, and a great room layout with vaulted ceilings. Please Note: The maximum occupancy is 6 persons. Please do not invite additional family/friends to stay or visit with you, even for a daytime visit, due to the septic tank's leach/drain field dispersion limitations. It is not your typical neglected, dank and musty cabin, for It has been freshly painted and is adorned with wood flooring downstairs and new carpet upstairs. It's easy to navigate kitchen comes well stocked with stainless steel appliances including a full-size oven, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Also well equipped with a Keurig coffee maker (bring your preferred K-cups), a standard drip coffee maker as well and every conceivable utensil and small appliance you would ever need. In addition, there is a stacked washer/dryer and a completely fenced and secure yard with "outdoor only" security monitoring. It is a fully Eco-friendly, LED lighted "green" home and is well maintained. Why would you want to camp or "Glamp" when you can stay at The Nut House and rest and relax. We even have a 4' diameter pave stone fire pit for burning real wood and roasting marshmallows (when the Tonto National Forest Payson Ranger District's fire restrictions are not in place! BYOW...Bring Your Own Wood). The Cabin is within quick walking distance to the continuously flowing East Verde River (see map in photo gallery) and snuggled in the Tonto National Forest. As we mentioned above, the Cabin is conveniently located only a mile away from the best hiking spot in the Tonto National Forest...Water Wheel Falls (Tonto Day Pass required), and it is also fairly close to Tonto Natural Bridge State Park as well as the quaint towns of Pine and Strawberry. In addition, Payson is also the Home of the Worlds Oldest Continuous Rodeo which takes place in the second half of August each year. The Rodeo/Fair Grounds are just 10 miles from the cabin. All roads are paved into and around the property and we have a large secure and gated driveway which can accommodate most any vehicle and trailer combination. At the top of the Rim (off Hwy 260 East) is Woods Canyon Lake (about a 45-minute drive from the cabin) where you can rent kayak's, canoes and fishing boats, and it's about 7-10 degrees cooler as well. An additional fantastic scenic hike is at The Tonto Natural Bridge State Park and it is only a 25-minute drive toward Pine, AZ. That being said, it is only a short to medium drive to lots of additional hiking and off-road trails in the Tonto, Apache-Sitgreaves and Coconino National Forests. Please check with the Tonto N. F., Payson Ranger District (928) 474-7900; the Apache-Sitgreaves N. F., Black Mesa Ranger District (928) 535-7300 or the Coconino N. F., Flagstaff Ranger District (928) 526-0866 for current conditions or restrictions. Why camp in the woods, fighting off insects and bears when you can be relaxing and sleeping comfortably and yet still be out in the woods. Grab your hiking boots and backpack, snowshoes and play toys and come on up to the fresh air and beautiful surroundings that only our Arizona Rim Country can provide. The Nut House is less than 2 hours (97 miles) from downtown Phoenix, and a beautiful drive as well so why wait, plan your next high altitude getaway today! PLEASE NOTE: Beaver Valley Estates is a community that respects each neighbor and cherishes the solitude that living away from the city provides. Therefore, we request that you also respect the community during your stay by following simple commonsense rules such as: • Following the current fire restrictions posted by the Tonto National Forest. Ex. Stage 2 or 3 fire restrictions prohibit any live campfires, even in an enclosed fire pit. A sign is posted at the first intersection within Beaver Valley Estates when a restriction is in place. • Keeping outdoor noise and talking to a whisper after 10pm, (even around the campfire...if forest regulations permit it's use). Ex. Party's will not be tolerated, and the Sheriff will be called. • Keeping the porch lights off after 10pm (unless the motion sensor is activated) • Parking only in the cabin driveway within the gate (limited to two vehicles + 1 ATV/SxS trailer). No street parking is allowed. • Not inviting additional guests beyond that which is stated in your reservation. The booking limitation is 6 total guests, (with a maximum of 5 adults). This is also a condition of the cabin rental, and additional guests will not be tolerated. This limit includes daytime guests. If you cannot abide by these community friendly rules, then we ask that you look elsewhere for an accommodation as these rules will be closely monitored by our neighbors and violations will be quickly reported. ## Property amenities ### Ski -

Visited with my wife and 2 adult sons. Quaint, yet no shortage of room. The property's kitchen is very functional and the grill provided was very nice. One minor complaint would be the A/C situation, but following the hosts instructions everyone slept comfortably. ##### Gary F.

It was in a quiet neighborhood outside of Payson, perfect jumping off point to explore the area. It was clear that the owners really seem to love the cabin and use it themselves -- not just investor managers who never set foot inside. Our first night we walked down to the river, and saw elk walking around the neighborhood. ##### Nikolai N.

We all loved the convenience of having a well-supplied kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave, stove, and a nice sized fridge. The community was small and quaint but close to a creek, hiking trails, and campsites. Beautiful scenic drive on dirt road in the mountain area was awesome. The girls want to come back when there is snow. Loved our stay. ##### Virginia T.

The property is very clean, inside and out. It is sort of stocked, some essentials were missing that we were told would be there, like soap and shampoo, but there were extras as well that we weren't expecting. The upstairs got very hot and I didn't see an AC unit up there. We stayed in mid-May. It's not very central to anywhere, but is within easy driving distance of Payson and Pine and the Mogollon Rim. It is very close to other houses, but the neighborhood is very small, and there is a small creek (East Verde "River"). Overall, very enjoyable for us as we wanted the natural atmosphere and there were no kids. ##### Deidre G. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Coral S. 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice little getaway! We enjoyed our cozy stay. Everything is supplied. (except spices. Bring your own). Beds are comfy, bathroom is nice. Neighborhood has nice people. We took walks every day. However if you want to explore the wooded area to the water wheel falls, you need to drive. Also there are many boulders to get there that are dangerous. So keep that in mind. If you are an older person, there are stairs to the master bedroom. Bathroom is on the first floor. There are also a few restaurants in Payson that are delightful! Duza’s and La Sierra Mexican food were our choices. To sum it up, it was an enjoyable stay! ##### Coral S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracey B. 21 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place in the forest trees Cute A frame cabin. Picture is true. Houses are close together though. We woke up to free roam cows outside our kitchen window. Kids loved it even though they werent the "wild" animals they wanted to see. We did see several cute fat squirrels at the property & elk in the town of Pine. Lovely little community. Very quite. We came to get out of the heat of the city, but of course the weather was unpredicable & we got a cold front. I do wish the circut breaker fuses were heavier as we had to flip it a few times due to the use of space heaters that were available (thank goodness they had one for every room). Granted it was a little over ran with greenery, but summer is just ending and Im sure its hard to keep up. Love that they had most everything you would need. More wash cloths would of been nice but we made do with 2\. I didnt remember reading that the master bedroom is upstairs. It was not easy to get up there as the stairs are steep and tiny & my husband kept hitting his head on the ceiling due to the A frame. Thank goodness they have a full bed downstairs i could stay in as I had a hard time up the stairs.. We still did truely enjoy our stay. Thank you for sharing with us. ##### Tracey B.

The community and cabin comfort made our 4 day vacation ideal for a relaxing getaway. If humbled blessings is your thing, than is a great spot. ##### MONICA D.

Cool trees and a creek/river nearby. Close enough to town and yet removed from it. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The bed in the loft was very comfortable (unlike some vrbos) so I really appreciated that. Nice place ! The pics are from a walk I did around the neighborhood. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/23812191-5772-4c31-b64c-b496bdc68b11-1758812343421.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/102c47df-40e3-49dc-860e-355035dce301-1758812343541.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b985e967-9e98-49a0-9d02-8ef4fcc2048a-1758812338822.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gail N.

The cabin was clean and in good condition. We had a fun time staying there and didn't run into any problems. The hosts had all the check-in and check-out instructions lined out in an email and in a binder at the cabin. Super easy process. We would stay again. ##### Jennifer F.

Can’t beat the secluded location and my 4 year old loved playing in the east verde river just a short walk from the house. Will be staying at The Nut House again! ##### Jacob D.

We had a really wonderful time. The cabin was very cozy, clean and well equipped. I enjoyed the kitchen which was set up very well. The boys played board games and we had s'mores out at the firepit under the stars. The location was very nice as it was out of town, but close enough to sites that we took in. Thank you so much for the lovely home away from home. ##### Danielle M.

Water wheel was a nice hike the area is beautiful and green. Just far enough off the highway to be quiet and not to far away to be a long drive to town. The fenced in yard is great for parking the vehicle. We enjoyed all the board games available for when we were at the house. The kitchen is nice and spacious. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the house as we had planned out our days prior to arrival but would definitely stay again ##### Jacob G.

The property is very nice and well equipped and maintained, with everything we needed. Sitting on the front deck looking at the stars was our evening past time! Was easy to get to, and check in was extremely smooth and quick. Communication with the owner was excellent, and he was very responsive and helpful to us! Although located in a neighborhood, it was really quiet, and lots of places to hike and walk. We must comment on how nice the queen size bed was and we achieved three nights of wonderful sleep. Thank you for providing us with a perfect place to celebrate our recent retirement. ##### Nicholas O. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2020 ---
