    Our annual Book Club in the Pines was a huge success. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the cabin, and really loved the outdoor space by the creek. We are already planning our next year’s book club visit here.

    Love the back patio right up against the creek. We sat out there for hours listening to the sounds of the creek and watching elk come thru!

    Seems like some bath towells were missing, we grabbed a couple on our walmart run and left them. We also broke a couple dishes unfortunately, happy to pay for those.I checked the arizona wildlife spotting bingo card several times, we had blue jays, a cardinal, bald eagle, gila woodpecker, and a few raptorians i couldnt identify. There was a herd of elk in the neighborhood. We also saw a large Black bear right off the back porch, and a fox in the same spot the next day.

    Easy to drive to (no steep hills), we walked and explored all of Christopher Creek from the house, we all loved the porch and homey feeling of the house and only 15-20min to Woods Canyon lake. We will definitely be staying again.

    Nice house, well renovated, and very clean. Plenty of room for large family. Will definstly stay again. My only criticism is it would have been better if the upstairs room had an aiir conditioner. Otherwise the house was great!

    I couldn't have been happier about our choice of locations or our stay. The home is beautifully nested amongst the trees and right on the creek with a large partially covered patio that included a perfect gas grill; although we couldn't use it due to the season the built in fire pit was an added plus. The home was clean and stocked with all the necessities and the hosts were top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot friends, family or the masses!

    This is a fun cabin to stay in. Host Kevin is on top of things and responds quickly. Our 2nd time to rent this cabin on Christopher Creek. We would recommend. Of course, wish we could rent directly from the host and avoid some of the VRBO fees, but guess that’s just how it is.

    The weather was nice and the accommodations turned out perfect for my family of 10. Having 3 bathrooms was great! The only thing that would have made this a 5 star rating would have been a direct access to the creek. The online pictures makes it looks like you can walk down to creek with ease but it was not an easy access especially with kids.
