About this property

Riverfront Retreat. Year-round river in North Payson.

This is the place! This home is a hidden gem located 15 miles NE of Payson just under the Mogollon Rim. This place is unique as it is tucked away up in the pines just under the Mogollon Rim. You may feel as you are headed in the wrong direction while driving deep into the forest. As you pull up and open your car door, you will hear the whisper of the cool pines and the sound of the babbling creek that runs through the back yard. It is 20 degrees cooler than Phoenix.

About the host

Hosted by Alissa

Host profile image
My husband and I are both Arizona natives. I am a nurse practitioner in Scottsdale. We have two grown kids and hope to have grandkids someday. We love all of Arizona and spend most of our free time here in the mountains. It is a nice change from the valley and only 1.5 hours from our home with a very different climate and relaxing atmosphere.

Why they chose this property

We love this area. It is remote and seldom traveled by many. We have been coming up here for many years with our kids and knew we had to buy a home here. We would love to share this experience with others so they too can build lasting memories. Keep in mind this is not a log cabin. Not rustic, but very nice and well maintained.

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy that this home has central air conditioning and heat for the warm Summers and cold Winters. This home is fairly new compared to the rustic homes in the area and has all the upgrades. This charming three level home has two newer outdoor decks that overlook the creek. You will enjoy sitting out back and relaxing, while watching the kids play in the water. The home is surrounded by trees so it feels much cooler than the 20 degree difference from the Phoenix metro area.
