The Spanish Jewel, resting high atop a hill overlooking Green Valley Park & Lake with panoramic views of the town and the distant mountains, is a step back in time, a serene place specifically designed for you to relax, to unplug, and to unwind. More a charming cottage than cabin, this jewel on the mount is beckoning you to visit and to create moments and memories to last a lifetime. A bit quirky, a bit luxe, The Spanish Jewel really is a magical space just waiting to put a spell on you.<br>
The Spanish Jewel was meticulously constructed over fifty years ago by a local artisan/craftsman using many antique pieces and architectural salvage items. Over the last two years the property has experienced a comprehensive 'sprucing' of its original details. This 'sprucing' coupled with the detailed addition of new amenities has been successful in achieving today's standards of Mountain Luxe. The Jewel has a large Living Room w/a window wall overlooking the mountains, a remote-controlled propane fireplace, 40 flatscreen w/cable & internet. There is a lovely updated eat-in Kitchen, Laundry Room, one bedroom on the main floor, and a bedroom in the cozy 'crow's nest' loft. The bath has a shower w/spa showerhead, sumptuous fluffy hotel-grade towels, & complimentary body wash, shampoo, & conditioner. The Main Bedroom offers an upholstered Queen bed with a 'Beautyrest Black' luxury hybrid mattress, dual control heated mattress pad, infrared electric fireplace, & exit to a charming flagstone terrace with a propane firepit and vistas of the town below and the Mazatzal Mountains beyond.

Some of the original Spanish influences include heavy hand-hewn wood doors, beveled glass doors, wrought iron fixtures, stained glass, original Saltillo floors & rustic log beam(ed) ceilings, & a sink vanity set in an old hand-carved Spanish desk. Some of the modern amenities include the new propane log stove for chilly evenings, a reimagined fully equipped kitchen w/vintage hand-carved cabinetry, a cooking island, leather-look Quartzite counters, GE Profile appliances, Keurig hot/cold brew coffeemaker, toaster, blender, & all the pots & pans, dinnerware, glassware, & flatware you will need.

Even with all the modern conveniences, The Spanish Jewel is a step back in time.

    We stayed here for our 22-year anniversary and absolutely loved it! The house was cozy, clean, and comfortable — the perfect place to relax and unwind. The host was excellent and communicated clearly from start to finish. He even left us thoughtful gifts for our anniversary, which made the stay extra special. We were also so grateful to be allowed a late checkout — such a kind gesture that made our weekend even more relaxing. We’ll definitely be coming back!

    The Spanish Jewel was just perfect. We were looking for a romantic and peaceful getaway. George’s home checks all boxes. Everything about this place is so charming. We cannot wait to go back to this storybook cabin!

    It is clear that this is a much loved home. Take a moment to just sit and look around. The artwork, antiques and decor are truly charming and the result of a lot of thought and hard work. The home is amazingly well equipped with everything you need to cook. We were very comfortable during our stay.

    Everything was perfect, with great views from the back patio. This was one of our favorite VRBOs and location was convenient to all of Payson.

    The cottage was everything and more. As soon as I walked in, I felt at ease. There was everything that I could think of and more as way of information on the cottage and what to do or where to go in Payson. I highly recommend this place to anyone. I will definitely be going back again and again.

    The Spanish Jewel couldn't be more perfect for a stay in Payson. The location is convenient to everything and the property was beautiful. Our host was very communicative and welcoming. George has thought of everything and we enjoyed a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of linens, and special touches that made it feel like home. If he put a price tag on the decor, I would have done my souvenir shopping there! So eclectic and perfectly inviting. A perfect place to reunite with old friends and make wonderful new memories!! Thank you, George!

    The Spanish Jewel is an amazing house! It’s beautifully decorated, super clean, homey, and just lovely. It’s perfectly appointed. We didn’t use the upstairs bedroom but the master bed is super comfy. It was our first time in Payson and we fell in love with the place. If you’re considering other places to rent, look no further! You will not be disappointed in this place.❤️
