Welcome to The Ranch on the Creek. This perfectly redesigned property embodies luxury and comfort. Featuring high-end finishes throughout, it offers an inviting atmosphere. Step outside to discover 1,800 square feet of exquisite paver, complemented by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a hot tub that provides a stunning view of the creek. This setting serves as an exceptional venue for relaxation and quality time. We eagerly anticipate your visit to experience all that The Ranch has to offer.

**Experience Timeless Elegance at Our Historic Ranch House**

Step into a piece of history with our beautifully refinished ranch house, one of the first homes built to host cowboys in this picturesque area. Adorned with luxury finishes, this exquisite retreat features gourmet appliances, custom cabinetry, and stunning tile plank flooring throughout.

Unwind in the primary bedroom, complete with a king-sized bed and large smart TV, while additional bedrooms offer unparalleled comfort for total relaxation. Outside, indulge in multiple serene spaces: bask in the breathtaking front yard views with a fully fenced dog yard and covered patio, or gather around the fire pit in the side yard, surrounded by stunning ranch vistas.

The backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring 1,800 square feet of pavers, a large outdoor kitchen, a propane fire table, and a spacious gazebo equipped with fans. Relax in the 7-person hot tub, nestled among 100-year-old trees overlooking the flowing creek. Explore the lower level, which leads to over 300 feet of private creek access, where the lush, green canopy transforms into a rainforest paradise in spring and summer, and a vibrant tapestry of foliage in the fall.

Escape to luxury and nature at our historic ranch house, where every detail invites you to relax and rejuvenate.

Other things to note
Minutes from restaurants, grocery stores and everything you need.

If you plan on bringing ATV or Side by sides please let us know. We are happy to point you in the direction of trails but it is extremely important to respect the neighbors. We would ask rides are only driven to and from the property not driven around the property. We are happy to provide more detailed information.

There MAY be a FIRE BAN in place when you are interested in coming. Please check the Tonto Forest web site for alert ban status.

No Fireworks at any time. discharge of fireworks will result in immediate eviction with no refund.

I will have a sign on the fire pit if I know there is a ban in place. But, it changes often, according to the weather, etc. I do not control the state fire ban laws. Safety is important!

This is a rural location - sounds you may hear could be horses, coyotes, dogs, cows, chickens and roosters along with farm equipment.

DOGS and wild animals: This home is next to the forest and neighbors do not always keep their dogs fenced and they are allowed to run around the area. The pets are generally friendly and RARELY come by. However, you need to be aware that I can not control the wildlife or neighbor dogs. If you decide to bring your pet, the front yard is a large fenced area but I do not recommend you allowing your dog to run around freely outside of the fenced area.

Often there will be more horse traffic than car traffic. Do not approach horses or the area ranches. The road past Sprague Ranch road is a private road. More info will be provided after booking.

Open Range: The property is located in an open range area - this means certain times of the year livestock will pass through the property. Stay clear of any livestock.

To reach The Ranch you will pass through the creek that runs through the property - it is usually shallow but during or after rain storms requires extreme caution. We love our beautiful creek and know you will too! Just a heads up—sometimes the creek may go dry, depending on the season and weather conditions. If you'd like more details or have any questions, feel free to message us! We're here to help and make your stay as enjoyable as possible!

Our family cabin is the first house on the street. Occasionally we will be your neighbor.

    The house and lot that it is on was amazing. They had everything you could think of from kitchen apparatus to things in the bedrooms and bathroom. We told them we were coming up for a birthday weekend and they were sweet enough to put a birthday balloon with their welcome card and snacks. Very thoughtful hosts. I would definitely book this house again in a heartbeat.

    This property is outstanding! It was our perfect fall weather get away. The house is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. The bed was comfortable and there are great little touches of thought and comfort in every room. The front porch area is great for watching the sunrise, and the backyard and surrounding property is absolutely beautiful! We used both fire pits, the hot tub and played in the creek while enjoying the gorgeous weather and beautiful leaves. It's perfectly quiet, but also close enough to town if you need something. We would recommend this host and property 10/10, we will be back!

    This place was absolutely perfect. My husband and I both agreed that it was the best VRBO we have ever rented. The hot tub was fabulous, beds comfortable, kitchen was amazing and house beautifully decorated. I would recommend bringing tin foil, spices you may need, and zip locks, otherwise everything else is there. The outdoor area is amazing. Unfortunately it rained the first day we were there but we were able to enjoy it the next day. Our dog was very happy there...no leash the whole time! We all enjoyed watching the two horses and cows next door and listening to the nearby creek, just added to the whole experience of being out of the city in the country. Would definitely recommend and will stay again.

    Thank you, Bob and Katie, for creating such a beautiful and peaceful place. My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay — it was exactly what we needed to unwind and recharge. Everything was just perfect.Thank you also for the lovely birthday card and for making this place so special. You two are absolutely wonderful — kind, thoughtful, and the best hosts ever. We’ll definitely be renting this place again, hopefully for a longer stay next time. I could easily see myself working from there for a bit too; it’s just that peaceful.We loved watching the animals and soaking in the calm atmosphere — it’s truly gorgeous. If I could rate it, I’d give it 100 out of 10! Thank you again, and I hope you both have a wonderful day. I really appreciate you!

    Spectacular, immaculately clean family and pet-friendly home with a phenomenal shady backyard tucked away in a peaceful rural neighborhood minutes from Payson. The home is beautifully furnished and newly renovated with high-end touches throughout. It is even more darling in person than in its photos! It has a cozy feel and uses its space well. We enjoyed the hot tub on the patio and played games at the large dining room table. This was our first time travelling with our pets as pet-friendly and family-friendly properties with fenced-in yards that welcome multiple dogs are not easy to find. Our amazing experience here will be hard to match! Our 3 small dogs felt very welcome and safe in the securely fenced front yard with toys all around. We relaxed over morning coffee on the front porch while watching the beautiful horses and cow next door. Our teen boys loved exploring the creek and helping us grill in the huge backyard. They were excited the wi-fi supported their late-night gaming marathons. Bob, our host, was very responsive and welcoming. Highly recommend this property! We would absolutely choose to stay here again: 10 out of 10!

    We were in search of relaxation and we found it here. The yard is amazing with plenty of serene spaces. Stargazing by the fire pit, soaking in the spa, sitting near the creek, and dining outside were perfect. The beds were comfy and the adorable kitchen included everything you needed. We would definitely return and recommend!

    We loved every moment of our stay. Such a well kept, clean home. The home had everything and anything you could need. My only small criticism is that the fence going into the horse pasture was not secure at the bottom. I was afraid my little dog would go under and bother the horse. Other than that would definitely stay again!

    They took all aspects one could think of and included them. It was a short trip so we left our pups at home. While there we noticed all the items they had included for dogs to join in on the trip. We will be going back at some point and take the dogs with us for a longer stay next time.

    What an incredible property with wonderful scenery! It was the perfect place to decompress after the crazy holidays. It allowed us to have much needed family time. The home was beautiful and in immaculate condition. The outdoor patio was amazing with plenty of seating and outdoor grill and two different fire pits, and the views were incredible. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything you need to make dinner for a large group of people. We will definitely be going back and did I mention the beds were incredibly comfy and let’s not forget the heated bathroom floors

    Our family had an unforgettable Christmas at the Ranch with our three children—by far our favorite holiday vacation yet! The property and home were exquisitely decorated for the season, creating a truly magical atmosphere. We spent endless hours enjoying outdoor games, swinging by the creek, and exploring scenic hiking trails, thanks to Bob’s fantastic communication and detailed recommendations. He provided us with all the information we needed to make the most of our hikes and outdoor adventures. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, with no expense or accommodation spared to make our stay comfortable and special. We are already looking forward to returning for more cherished moments together as a family. A heartfelt thank you to Bob and Kattie for making our holiday so extraordinary!

    No expense or amenity spared! Beautiful home and property. The hosts take pride in their property for sure and even left a welcome note and goodie bag! Comfortable, extremely clean, beautifully designed and well stocked for all your basic needs including fun patio games and lots of seating areas. They even had plenty of balls for our pups and extra dog waste bags. Very organized, thought out and everything worked like a charm. Wish we had more time to enjoy the property. We cannot wait to go back. Thank you Bob and Kattie!
