Stayed Oct 1, 2023Great place to get away! It has all the comforts of home and ton of things to do on the property. The kids and dogs loved the creek down below the property. Bob was a great host and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and that we had everything we needed!

Stayed Feb 3, 2026Seldom do we have a WOW-factor at an VRBO. This place really went above and beyond. Clean, perfectly decorated space with everything one could ever need we felt so fortunate with our week stay! Close to town, in a quiet rural area, it became our lovely retreat, esp with the perfect front fenced yard for our 2 dogs.There were just so many extras/details that we kept finding, dog toys, welcome cookies, including the (5 gal waters) we replaced x2, & much needed as we hiked 60 miles that week. Thank you, Bob, it was just the BEST! Hope we can come back next year!

Stayed Dec 31, 2025We had such a wonderful experience at The Happy Place! The host is great and very communicative! From the moment you walk in the front door you feel at home with every essential you could possibly need. The location and scenery are incredible and the fact they allow our fur babies is an absolute bonus!! We will definitely stay here again for our next family gathering!

Stayed Oct 23, 2025Absolutely one of the best stays in a Vrbo. It was very cozy, inside and outside. Televisions provided in all the rooms, kitchen was well stocked, very peaceful setting. They have thought of everything. We didn’t bring our puppy, but the provisions for those who do is wonderful, and it doesn’t smell like animals were there or have dog hair everywhere.

Stayed Sep 12, 2025Such a beautiful place, and SUPER clean! Host was very responsive even when we arrived at midnight and we couldn’t locate our check in instructions. This location provided items in the household that are above and beyond standard for some rentals. This made the stay even more pleasant. We also enjoyed the remoteness to the property. Got to even see some elk at night wandering the neighborhood! Overall, 10/10 would stay again!

Stayed Aug 20, 2025The Happy Place is a very well appointed home. You can tell that the owners are experienced in offering vacation rentals that are comfortable and very well appointed. Bob provided great recommendations in the area, even calling a stable for me ahead of arrival and he came and found us in our car when the creek behind his home began to cover the wash, making sure we knew it was safe to cross. Only feedback I provided to Bob personally was regarding the fenced yard being in stones only. My dog is 14 years old and blind so getting around on the stones was hard for him, a patch of grass would be nice. The back patio is lovely for enjoying morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

Stayed Jul 14, 2025Thank you Bob and family for providing a relaxing and beautiful place to stay! The happy place has all the modern amenities with a feel of home away from home. It's a place where you dont even have to go anywhere, we could just hang out at the house. Bob is quick to respond with any questions or suggestions. The place is serene and peaceful...just what I needed. We hope to return again soon! Thanks again!

Stayed May 9, 2025The Happy Place is hands down the best house we have ever stayed at. This hidden gem blew our expectations out of the water. From the perfect location tucked back alongside the creek, the beautiful finishings that make the house look like it came out of a Joanna Gaines home, and the wonderful hospitality of Bob and kattie! The creek was beautiful and provided so much fun and entertainment for our kids. It was so quiet and peaceful and honestly an area that I cannot wait to go back! The house was perfect for kids, dogs and adults! Definitely a must stay when visiting the payson area, and we are already looking at the calendar planning our next trip there! Thank you both for the amazing place to call home for a few days!!

Stayed Feb 13, 2025My wife and I first stayed at Happy Place in October for a family wedding. Back then it was my wife and I, along with my mother in law and our dogs. We absolutely loved the house, the two living rooms were convenient and the property was gorgeous. My wife and I promised to return as a couple with our dogs and Valentines was the best time. The owner Bob remembered us from the first trip and we both knew the instructions. This second trip was even better. Just relaxing and taking in the cool wooded air. Neighbors are great, walking trials are amazing and we were only a 10 min drive from shopping plazas in case we needed something. We loved every minute and we may return again down the line, that's how great it is out there.

Stayed Oct 8, 2024This is our second time at the Happy Place and once again we had a wonderful time. A very comfortable place with so much to do & see plus a short drive from the Valley. Your kids and dogs well love the running creek on the property. The trees and scenery around the creek will make you feel like you're in a different world. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you'll need. Finally, the hosts went above and beyond with great restaurant & hiking recommendations.

Stayed Oct 4, 2024The name of this house is for a reason because it truly is a Happy Place. It was a very large comfortable peaceful house. My wife, mother in law, and sister in law were there for a family wedding near by. We took our dogs and they loved the open front yard. The view was amazing and the neighbors around the house were sweethearts. The host was communicate and always available when we had questions. Check in was easy and the check out even easier compared to other houses we rented in the past. This home is highly recommended for families looking for a calm peace getaway.
