A Mountain Retreat, peacefully nestled in the Tonto National Forest at the base of the Mogollon Rim

The space

An architectural masterpiece in walking distance of the Tonto Creek, backing US National Forest amidst towering Ponderosa Pines and a firewised forest.

The design of the 1896+/- sq. ft. home strives to minimize its carbon footprint using passive solar strategies and the use of sustainable materials.

The entrance has a beautiful covered deck boasting viewsof Saddleback Mountain. The main living area is inviting with natural light, tile floors and a wood burning stove and connects to the fully stocked open concept kitchen.

The entire lower level has wide hallways and doorways that are ADA compliant with wheelchair accessibility, leading into the large bathroom where you are greeted with a beautiful stone walk-in shower.

A functional guest bedroom featuring a queen bed and a pullout couch can be utilized as an office and has a private back door to a sunken grotto: perfect for enjoying the tranquil view of the Tonto National Forest and the peaceful sounds of nature. A metal spiral staircase leads from the grotto to the upper deck.

From the main living room there is a stunning open stairway leading up to the private primary suite featuring two queen beds. This primary suite is incredible: there is a reading nook with the floor-to-ceiling glass for you to relax in and enjoy the breathtaking views. A large ensuite bathroom features a soaking tub, walk-in shower, a kitchenette with mini-fridge, and is finished with travertine floors.

The suite has gorgeous hickory and pecan floors and a large walk-in closet. To complete this primary suite there is an expansive private deck that wraps around three quarters of the upstairs and is partially covered.

The beautifully landscaped lot sits on half an acre of land at the end of the road in Kohl's Ranch, has easy parking and an impressive retaining rock wall. This Modern Mountain Retreat is perfect for a getaway in the Tonto National Forest under the Pondarosa Pines.

The home was designed with sustainability as a key feature and won the University of Arizona School of Architecture Gurley Award for design excellence.

    We had the best time staying in this beautifully built cabin over the weekend, apart from the beautiful cabin the host is really next level! We have stayed at quite a few cabins as a family of 5 but none have ever been as meticulously equipped as this one. We like to be well prepared with our necessities but really we did not need to bring anything with us other than groceries and clothes. Everything in the cabin is organized and labeled to make the stay a breeze. The kitchen is fully stocked and organized, the bathrooms have fresh clean towels as well as toiletries, feminine products are available and lots of games/activities for the kiddos! We had a blast, thank you for going above and beyond for your guests!

    The house was perfect. The host was very responsive, kind and helpful. Our favorite part was the fireplace in the family room , it made it so cozy. Beautiful wrap around decks. Saw deer and squirrels. 10 out of 10.

    This place is amazing. I want to live here!!The property is in a neighborhood, but seems private. The architecture is fun and unique. We had a relaxing and peaceful stay. We saw elk, deer, squirrels and a variety of birds. The only thing that will keep me from staying here again is the beds are the second worst beds I've ever slept in. If the beds were changed, we'd probably stay here a couple times a year.
