A truly wonderful, beautiful, and amazing experience. Quiet, calm, and relaxing for sure. You need to get away from the city and reset yourself this is the place. House is amazing, roomy, clean, and offers everything one needs to enjoy a quiet getaway. This place is for those that literally want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I stocked a cooler made sure I had all I needed for a weekend. Refill your tank of gas in payson and you’ll be set for the weekend.Hit woods canyon lake only 30mins away. Great spot for fishing and taking in the scenery.

Easy to drive to (no steep hills), we walked and explored all of Christopher Creek from the house, we all loved the porch and homey feeling of the house and only 15-20min to Woods Canyon lake. We will definitely be staying again.

The location was lovely. We enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the creek. Even had the elk walk by and grazed out in the front yard. The cabin is well stocked. Welcome instructions were detailed and clear. This was a girlfriend's trip. We all said that the Cake Creek Cabin would be a great place to bring our families to.
