11 Mi to Rainbow Lake: Family Home w/ Large Yard

Great place, we will rebook for sure!!

As advertised

No mention of very busy road next to property. Electrical scary.Outside area not cleaned at all, grill filthy.No response from hosts on issues. Guest book uselessNo info on garbage pickup days, etc. Won’t rent again if Evolve involved.

Clean & on a nice neighborhood. We felt comfortable there. The master bed was nice and they have a very secure backyard with a fence so my dog could run around while we were enjoying the view of the forest. On the side of the house is the designated road that leads to the forest so people can enter there to go four wheeling, quad riding, hiking, ect.

Let me start off by saying we enjoyed the cabin and everything it had to offer especially how great the backyard space was for our dog. However our last evening and day was ruined and cut short due to the fact that the septic was not working properly! This cabin specifically stated it could accommodate our family of six and even with minimal water use by Sunday afternoon toilets were not flushing and showers would not drain. This is all signs of a FULL septic tank which was confirmed when the toilets started gurgling every time you would run any water. Knowing you have a family of 6 and a dog renting your space for 4 days it’s very upsetting no one thought to check septic to make sure it was at proper level. We had to leave Monday morning extremely early instead of enjoying our last day in the cabin due to the fact we could use restroom/shower or cook our meals! We had all intentions of renting this property again for future stay but after what we experienced on the last leg of our trip and the fact I haven’t heard back from anybody on the issue, we definitely will NOT be back .

We picked this cabin due to the proximity to the trails. We have quads and this was perfect for my family of 4. The home was lovely, had everything that was needed. We didn’t use the twin beds as my teenager preferred to sleep on the futton. The twin mattress’s we’re not comfy. The cabin has 2 fireplaces, new appliances, ample parking. Overall great stay!

We have stayed at a number of properties over the years in Pinetop-Lakeside and they all have their pluses and minuses. This one was great for location if you head to Big Lake, Hawley Lake, Hon-Dah, etc. in which there is a forest road that pops out right next to the house which can take you to McNary and shave off 5 miles. We also have a UTV which made for a couple great night rides spotlighting for animals with the kids. However, this main entrance to the forest road is well traveled and although didn't bother us, could bother others. To that, the amount of dust at this Property - I believe because of this road - is a lot. The patio, patio furniture, even the house itself is covered in dust - a nice power washing from time-to-time would do externally and deep cleaning internally. House was stocked, kitchen was stocked - all the Short Term Rental boxes were checked along with an air fryer, for the win = great for kids. Gripes were overall beds and pillows, size of the Living Room TV vs. the size of the room, random hair ties throughout the house and spiders in the bathrooms. Overall, a good property in which nothing was a deal breaker for us, but a deep clean would be great with some creature comfort upgrades for future Guests.

Great stay, lotsa room. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Quiet neighborhood. Traffic at the trailhead. The yard is fenced with real fence. Beds need a mattress cover, instead of plastic

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. The house backs up to the forest and we loved the daily walks in the woods with our golden retriever. The completely fenced backyard was perfect for our pet as well. The neighborhood is beautiful, well-kept, and the residents are very friendly. It is an easy drive to local restaurants and lakes. We lacked for nothing during our stay. We particularly having the barbecue grill, the AC, the fenced backyard, and easy access to the trails/woods. We highly recommend this home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Well equipped, clean, dog-friendly. We can’t wait to go back! The seating in the family room was so comfortable. It was a very relaxing time. While this didn’t affect our stay and is out of the control of the property owners, we are mentioning this in case it would for others (such as people who have dogs with reactivity.) The home is directly adjacent to the forest entrance and there are a few parking spots right along the fence line of the property. It was a very popular spot: a high school cross country team met few times during the week (morning and evening) to run and do drills next to the house, lots of side-by-sides entering the forest, meetups for mountain biking, etc. We loved having such close access to the forest trails so it was fine for us. But worth a mention so that potential renters know what to expect. Big thank you to the owners for allowing this to be a short term rental because we love finding great places that our dogs can stay too! A new favorite!

We had a great time beds comfortable very spacious living dining and kitchen area. Great to walk out back and your in the forest

Great trip. Perfect house. Lotsa room. Quiet neighborhood. We will be back.
