Log Cabin in the Pines, Treehouse with Swinging Bridge, beautiful stream nearby

Kids had fun, toddler gate was available for the stairs, the manmade stream was great easy to use. Kitchen has all necessary appliances and pots pans coffee maker, and clean dishes and covers.

Was beautiful and spacious. I wouldn’t mind staying there again.

My family and I brought in 2025 in the cabin there were 9 of us plenty of room for everyone. It was pretty cold because if we turned on the heater at the top all the heat would go up to the kids and sweat them out the space heaters work best close to you during this time of year on the bottom floor. Overall it was nice the kids enjoyed themselves they got to see the local wildlife.

House was everything we needed!

We have been staying here since 2022 and always have a great time. Our 5 grandkids love coming here as there is so much for them to do! One tip for newbies is bring your own ping pong balls. They get lost in the game room. We have a pack of 6 we bought in 2022 and we bring them every time. We also bring a basketball!

The cabin was beautiful. Had everything we needed. Lots to entertain ourselves if we just wanted to stay there and not go adventuring.

This is an amazing cabin, and in the perfect location right by the Water Wheel hike! We had a great time staying in a real log cabin, and just loved all the amenities! We’d definitely stay here again!

Beautiful cabin home could use better cleaning was really dusty and the treehouse for kids seems very unsafe for smaller kids. Other then that was a nice cabin

We had a wonderful time at this cabin! All three of my boys didn’t want to leave—they loved the dart game, basketball hoop, game room, fire pit, and waterfall feature. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, which made our stay even better. The host was great to communicate with and made everything easy. Such a peaceful, beautiful place full of fun for the whole family. We would definitely come back!

Property was everything we needed, key was returned to the lockbox

We love the place.

We decided to stay in this place because its pet friendly and we thought we would be adopting a puppy before our trip.The place is spacious, well located and the kids really enjoyed the tree house and all the games.Unfortunately, even though we paid for cleaning fees, the place was extremely dirty. I found dirty spoons in the drawer, both toilets were very dirty, I had to vacuum the floors first thing when arriving. Honestly, almost made me want to leave, but the kids were having fun. There was a hammock outside and as soon as my daughter sat on it, it ripped and she fell. She didnt get hurt. I contacted the host about the house being dirty and to inform about the hammock. He replied he would replace the hammock for the next guest but didnt comment on anything else. Its not fun going on vacation and having to clean and disinfect everything. Also, the neighbors have a chicken coop and lots of dogs, they can be quite loud.Everything else was as described.

Great place to stay, the fam had a wonderful time.The host was very communicative

Cozy Cabin

Such a beautiful time with family

Host was responsive. Beautiful property

Good communication from host.Great property mini hiking trails lots to explore. I feel it was a great value and was very comfortable for 5 adults.

Very cozy

It was a beautiful cabin with amazing land! Our friend who makes ponds and waterfalls was completely fascinated with your water feature. In fact, he said he could fix all of the leaks for you! Treehouse was adorable! Love where the fire pit was located. We just don’t know how the cleaning works in between people who stayed there because it didn’t look like it was cleaned. I don’t know if you guys have a cleaning crew that comes in between, but if you do, I don’t think they came before we got there. I mentioned us and another adult couple would be staying there but one of the queen rooms didn’t even have any sheets and blankets already made up on the bed. I felt bad because that was the room our friends were staying in. The refrigerator and oven were really dirty on the inside. There were personal items in the bathroom drawers like brushes and stuff that had hair all over them. There were several chewed straws in the bedroom nightstand drawer (the room with the TV), as well as in the living room console table drawer. There was wet linen left in the washing machine. The microwave has two cracks at the bottom. Probably not safe. Beautiful place though. Comfortable beds. Oh, we didn’t find the guest book to write in. Thank you!!!

Amazing view and weather

The cabin was cozy and gave us the total cabin experience we were wanting for our family. The neighbors were friendly and welcoming. The kids loved the grounds with the swing, trampoline, tree house and of course making smores. The kitchen offered what we needed for our stay. We really enjoyed the nearby activities offering a craft fair, pumpkin carving, bon fires, and more! CANT WAIT TO RETURN!

Loved it! It felt like home by the time we left. It's spacious, beautiful western artwork, comfortable beds, great deck, fun backyard with the water feature. It was thoughtfully stocked with all the supplies we needed. In the the kitchen we had enough pots and pans to cook most of our meals there. We stayed a month with our pet - think he actually had a great time too. The laundry room and washer/dryer were a big plus. Thank you Greg! Advice - if you have one bring your national forest pass for use at the Crossings and Water Wheel.

Great cabin! Fun atmosphere! Owner was great to work with!

We had an amazing time! Waterwheel was a wonderful hike for the whole family! Grounds of the property were so much fun for the kids! The home was well stocked with essentials!

Quiet and peaceful get away, close to some amazing hiking trails and creeks to play in. Loved the neighbors rooster and chickens.

Great time, second time staying. Has everything for our family to have a good time. Appreciated Greg for quick responses and sharing his home.

This cabin had a lot more to offer. Beds were comfy, check in and check out process a breeze, and very spacious for our needs. While we stayed here in the summer, it would also be great to stay here during the winter!

Amazing cabin with a big area to explore. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area!!!

The house is great and has so much to do close to the property. We enjoyed it very much. Greg had the house nice and cool for us upon arrival in this hot AZ heat.

Overall the cabin was good. It had everything we needed to cook with. We had an issue with the Traeger but we got it working to enjoy pulled pork on Father’s Day. Hiking trails are very close and the turkeys and rooster across the street will let you know when it’s time to get up in the morning.

Log cabin with very high ceilings and plenty of bright light. Fun stream with a waterfall, very comfortable beds and plenty of room.

Nice and quiet

We had a great time in this spacious cabin, we saw elk around the property, hiked nearby trails along the river, grilled, played games and really enjoyed staying at this cabin, will definitely plan another trip here during the summer.

Excellent family retreat.

The cabin was clean and had almost everything we needed - I would only recommend bringing chip-clips (if you are a chip eating family). The kids loved the property! And I loved being able to watch them play in the snow while staying warm inside. While we didn't see any wildlife on the property we did see elk and cattle while driving around. We also caught crawfish at Tonto Natural Bridge (we put them back after a few pictures). I loved the turkeys that were next door, if they heard the kids playing they would gobble at them. Very clean and spacious. The pellet stove was easy to use and warmed the place up particularly if you put the ceiling fans on low. Would stay here again.

Wanted a quick, weekend getaway to enjoy the newly fallen snow and this beautiful property didn't disappoint. So much to do from exploring the property, swing from the tree, adventure over to the tree house or just relax indoors and enjoy the beautiful mountain view. Short, beautiful drive from Payson if you need to pop into town for anything. The perfect weekend getaway.

This place is great for adults and kids/teenagers. The upstairs has two sets of bunkbeds and a full bathroom, plus a table where everyone can set down their belongings. The downstairs has two nice size bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. The entire property is spacious, interesting and fun to explore. We stayed toasty with the pellet burning stove and heating system in the living room. Had a great time and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

The cabin is gorgeous, how ever i found myself. Dusting , the beams and fans caked with dust. I cleaned cobwebs with the broom.

This was such a gorgeous cabin inside n out!!! Thank you for sharing your property with us. Merry Xmas and happy new year

Like a dream come true

Beautiful property, and the host very generous. Definitely plan on going back.

We had a blast, great family place!

we had an amazing time together and the house was lovely.

We celebrated my 6 year olds birthday and it was a great time! She loved the tree house and the neighbor across put apples out for the Elk and cows to come through. The whole family enjoyed sitting out on the deck just star watching and enjoying family time! Highly recommend!

We have been staying here for 3 years and bring our grandkids. They love it! The property alone has so much for them to do in addition to us catching crawdads at the creek and kayaking and fishing at the lake. In the past the neighbors have been friendly to us and we have introduced ourselves and had nice converations with them. We are quiet, friendly and good guests that respect the neighbors. This time was different. We could feel the tension and the unfriendlness of the neighbors and it made us very uncomfortable and we felt very unwelcomed.
