Beautiful tree top view, roomy, peaceful, near hiking trails, Starlink Wi-Fi
The main benefits of “Hodge Lodge” are LOCATION and VIEW. LOCATION: Our house is about 1 mile from stores and restaurants. It borders Tonto National Forest at the end of Pine View Dr. on the eastern slope of Strawberry Mountain. The area is secluded and peaceful with lots of wildlife.
VIEW: The view is really nice. You see the whole valley and have a clear view of the Mogollon Rim. When you are on the upper deck you are nearly at tree top level and nothing will block your view. The night sky and stars are breathtaking.
The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms that will sleep 8 in beds and for additional sleep options we have a futon in the fireplace room and sleeping pads in the loft.
The 3rd bedroom is an apartment which has a private access from the back of the house. It has a King size bed, bathroom with shower, microwave, refrigerator, private patio, WiFi, 42 inch flat screen with satellite TV, and two recliner chairs.
This spacious chalet has (2400 sq. ft.) of living space and almost 2000 sq. ft. of outside decking nestled in the forest. It is a very relaxing and peaceful place. Everything you would need to prepare meals or relax is furnished.
This house is located at the end of a well maintained gravel road. It is one of the highest locations in Pine situated on the east slope of Strawberry Mountain. The view is spectacular. The upper level deck raps around the house for 360 degree view of the area. Our living room is within feet of the Tonto national forest. You would be totally surrounded by tall Ponderosa pines. There are lots of wildlife small and large to view. (Elk, Deer, Coyotes and a variety of small game) We are within walking distance (about 1 mile) to antique shops, restaurants, bars, library, community center and playground. Pine/Strawberry host several seasonal arts and crafts festivals, rodeos and other special events. There are many hiking, mountain biking and riding trails. Go horseback riding, golfing, fishing or swimming in the creeks/rivers. Pine has much to offer such as antique shops, restaurants, specialty stores, arts and craft festivals and other special events. You would be 90 minutes north of Phoenix 157 miles from the Grand Canyon 5 miles from the north side of the Mogollon Rim 13 miles from Payson which has golf, airport, Restaurants, Movies, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and lots of locally owned shops. 88 miles to Snow Bowl ski resort, Flagstaff, AZ. 7 miles to The Tonto Natural Bridge it is a must see area Just steps away are many trails in the national forest 40 miles to great fishing in the many rim lakes 20 miles to swimming in Fossil Creek 5 miles to horseback riding

The rental was perfect for our needs to be close to the forest where we were working. Communication with the host was easy. It was a great place to stay.

It’s an old rustic house at an awesome location, but owner could have upgrade few items inside property
Thanks for sharing your wonderful cabin with us. We
had a great holiday weekend. Great location and plenty of space to enjoy family and the weather. Tons of kitchen supplies and accessories needed to prepare meals as well.
The Hodge Lodge is a wonderful place to stay! It is a quiet area with lots of room to roam, and we saw lots of wild life outside of the kitchen window! Going on the deck at night and looking at the stars was breathtaking. Lots of kitchen supplies is provided, as well as towels and extra toilet paper! There are many locks, so you can feel extra secure in this chalet.
We enjoyed staying at the home. The kitchen had most things we needed and it was very nice that there was a kids gate on the stairs and no stairs off the large wrap around porch. It made it safe for the kids to play. We wished the AC worked a little better but the host answered some questions about how to get it to work more efficiently very quickly.
This cabin is what dreams are made of! The deck the views the birds elks deer and havalinas made my day! This cabin is huge! The living room was my fav spot with views all around. I can’t say enough about this place. I had a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much Ken for sharing your beautiful piece of heaven with the rest of us ♥️
The Hodge Lodge was voted best of all previous vacation rentals by our entire group. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, gorgeous views from large decks. So many comfortable spaces to enjoy! The property is close to hikes, quaint shops and taverns. Pictures dont do it justice!
Nice stay, rained in the afternoon making the swamp cooler ineffective with high humidity. Lower suite had no cooling air except for a portable oscillating fan making the higher temperatures quite warm in the suite. Appliances were dated but the view was outstanding. Forest critters were abundant and enjoyable to watch and admire.
We’ve stayed here a couple times now, had just as much fun this time as we did previously. Lots of space, see wildlife from every window and just relax! Pine is a great city
We’ve stayed at the Hodge Lodge a few times and always enjoy coming back. Large space for lots of people and views you can’t beat. Owner is phenomenal to work with and has great communication. Will definitely stay here again
It was a lot of fun! The property was beautiful and the owner was very responsive

Great Vacation Spot!
Our family enjoyed our annual trip to Pine to the Hodge Lodge. This cabin always exceeds all of our expectations. Everything you could possibly need is there. Owners are great to work with.
Very clean and comfortable. Nice to stay somewhere that allows you to smoke on the property. Was nice being able to cook our own food and do a load of laundry before we had to leave for the airport.
