About this property

"Rustic Serenity"

A cozy A-Frame cabin near Lynx Lake, set on an acre in the Prescott National Forest. The cabin is off the grid, and we operate on a water tank & solar. Lynx Creek runs through the property and its 1/8 of a mile back in the forest, yet only 15 minutes from downtown Prescott. Wonderful for those who love the outdoors and a quiet rustic getaway... yet close to town if you want more. There are only four cabins in the vicinity. They sit on 20 acres of Ponderosa Pine, Oak, Juniper and Arizona Aspen that are surrounded by the Prescott National Forest.

I loved how quiet the little cabin neighborhood was. The cabin was exactly as described a rustic, quaint cabin, but had all the amenities we needed. Perfect for a cooler get away from the heat and noise of the city.

We had an amazing stay. Very peaceful. Cabin was clean and stayed pretty warm. It was nice not to have WiFi or cell service so we could escape. The stairs are pretty steep going up to the rooms, we almost fell a few times. Only down side was there was a water delivery at 9am the day we were leaving that made it difficult for us to load up our vehicle.

The cabin was cozy and as expected for an off grid cabin. Listed as pet friendly on VRBO with all fees included. However, after booking the host messages with additional 35 per pet after the fact that is not mentioned in the original posting or cost. Master bedroom desperately needs a new matress and some hooks in the bathroom for towels would be useful.

This was a pure slice of Heaven. The property feels remote, but so close to everything. It was very clean, rustic and exactly as advertised. The amenities were spot on and my wife and our little dog enjoyed it so much. Will definitely be going back again and again! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We loved it - very private and cozy. Perfect escape. Everything needed for overnight adventure in the woods. We arrived after dark so it was challenging finding it … Also note - there is a seperate 35 non refundable pet fee not disclosed on the listing which is paid direct to host outside of the booking app. I don’t mind paying the fee for my service dog, but it should be included in the listing under “pet friendly” rather than in an email after booking is confirmed.

I'm so happy to hear you loved the cabin! It truly is a beautiful private setting in the forest. "Rustic Serenity" is definitely pet friendly with a per pet fee of $35 which is noted on the listing. Adding a pet was missed during the initial booking process, which is why is was requested afterwards. Normally, VRBO charges the fee when you note your bringing a pet. I apologize for this misunderstand and we hope to welcome you back!

I chose this place because it looked like a nice rental for the price. but after I booked it and it was nonrefundable they informed me of a $35.00 charge for a pet. They advertised that it was pet friendly and that my total included taxes and fees. I feel as a senior citizen that I was taken advantage of.

Really enjoyed our stay. Definitely off the beaten path. Perfect break from the heat, hustle and bustle back home. Cabin had all that we needed for our stay and more. We really only needed to supply our own wood and food/drink. The absence of mosquitos was very pleasant. Would stay longer if we could.

The location is beautiful and the house is clean, however, there was a snake crawling around in the couch and we didn’t feel comfortable staying after discovering that. Also, the lake is at least a 25-35 minute walk (we tried walking there both via the dry creek bed as well as the road), not 10 minutes as advertised in the listing. The main reason I chose this property was to access the lake, and it took us a little over 30 minutes each way to walk there. There was also a heavy unsecured metal pole that fell on top of my dog and injured her. I would definitely be extra careful if you choose to bring small children or pets here.

In the 22 years I've owned the cabin, this was the first snake found. Im truly sorry. Were the doors left open? I immediately called the camp host Andy, who came and removed it right away. It was a harmless garden snake. You said "he was great" and your kids were excited to stay and explore the forest. I was understanding, and advised VRBO to give a partial refund. It's a cabin in the National Forest... and out of my control. Families with children love the cabin, as the guests books over the years attest to.

Very Misleading

Directions to cabin were vague. Dirt road to cabin was much longer than expected and treacherous.You would not want to drive in the dark. Cabin was cute and clean.Decided not to stay because temperature in cabin was 95-100 degrees with only portable fans that were ineffective. It would have been very uncomfortable to sleep.

Perfect getaway

We loved the cabin. As an architect i really loved this little gem. Its perfectly designed and feels larger that it is. We loved being off grid wirh just the sound of the wind, birds and occasional coyote. Che k in is very easy and host is easy to communicate with. Its a great place to unwind. We will definitely come back again.

A magical island in an ocean of serenity

To say our stay at the lovely "Rustic Retreat" was everything we'd hoped it would be, is an extreme understatement!Everything was perfect....and so much better than the pictures portrayed . We spent most of our time outdoors...nestled among the ponderosa pines....soaking in the sun and the crisp mountain air. Inside was cozy and intimate....just right for we two. All the amenities were well thought out as well....and Sona was an amazing host.Cant wait to do it again....we will be back!

Rustic & Serene

PEACEFUL! If I had to use one word, that would be it.Cute little cabin back in the woods with no distractions.We were looking for relaxation and solitude and we found it.It’s off the beaten path, so I recommend a truck or at least an all wheel drive vehicle. It’s close to everything. You can walk to Lynx Lake and Whiskey Row is a short drive.But we spent 90% of our time right there at the cabin.Sippin’ bourbon by the fire and drinking coffee while the sun came up.

Cozy cabin

We spent our Christmas week here and enjoyed every moment, it was so cozy sitting by the fireplace while playing boardgames and enjoying eachothers time while both our dogs just chilled with us. I proposed to my now fiance there and will definitely be back to make more memories. The owner Sona was super nice and very helpful, the comuncation was great when i had questions, once again thank you Sona!
