Great for families!

Great place for families with small kiddos. Amazing location for peace and quiet. Only major complaints were downstairs bedroom lower bed would slide off bed so not able to use and baby gate at top of stairs was unable to be latched closed.

Great host, ok cabin

We want to start off by saying the host were very nice and communicative. The cabin needs some work though. The window to the front door was broken and the lock on the back door was missing buttons. The upstairs was cute and had lots of games but just wasn’t clean. There were multiple dead flies, dust on the fans, and a duct taped chair. We did leave a day early because we felt very congested and sneezy every time we stayed upstairs (which is where the tv and master bedroom was)

My mother's house is across the river on Apple lane. Love the hunting theme throughout cabin.. My brother worked on this cabin and my nephew built the gazebo for you thru Home Depot. Your cabin feels like home. I hope to rent again soon.

This is our go to spot

We have stayed here a few times with in the past years. My husband, kids and I, absolutely love this place. I highly recommend. The place is beautiful and peaceful. The deer and elk come right into the property and it’s a great sight to see. They have the whole place set up so comfortably like your home away from home.

The perfect hub for your Payson trip

Wendy was so helpful and the cabin was great! It’s secluded but can still get to town with a short drive for supplies. The river crossings were great in the summer heat, and the elk in the evenings were great to watch! The cabin is unique and cozy while still providing room to spread out and have individual time. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area.

Quiet Get Away

My family really enjoyed the location and the amenities this property has to offer. My kids are 3yo and 1.5yo and with the new playset in they spent several hours a day swinging, climbing and running around it. Neighborhood is generally really quiet besides the animals that roam around. In the surrounding area it runs along a stream, so access to exploring the water is really convenient. We would stay here again!
