Everything was absolutely terrific, tons of room. Property was very well-appointed, just about everything you think you might need. Water pressure was a bit low, but the day we were leaving the water district was coming out.

Really nice cabin that comes well-stocked with everything you need. Just a heads up for future guests: it is definitely off the beaten path and requires a long drive on a dirt road to access. It is the perfect spot if you are looking for peace and quiet!

Had a great weekend off the grid. Cabin is so close to the Mogollon Rim and we spent the weekend exploring! Wonderful place to return to at the end of the day. Fully equipped kitchen and wonderful outdoor deck with grill. Very quiet neighborhood. A great place to relax!

Very well equipped home with nothing missing. Nicely decorated and the setting is lovely. It was cold and snowy but eventually warmed up for taking walks. The internet never was usable…possibly weather related.

Thank you for choosing my cozy cabin in the forest. You were perfect guests and I definitely recommend you to other hosts. Today I have Starlink ordered to replace the current service. I apologize for the “iffy” performance of the current service.

Awww. Thx Bill. So happy that the birdies “flew the cabin”. Everyone was so careful not to disturb them. You are welcome back anytime!

Very enjoyable stay…

The property was very complete and in a very quiet neighborhood. The county maintained roads to the property off of Highway 260 were in excellent condition. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Great cabin in the woods

The cabin is in a beautiful forested area! Enjoyed our morning walks and our dog loved playing with the local ranch dog that patrols the community. The Americana/Farmhouse decor is very cute and the cabin is well stocked with the essentials.

Quiet Get Away

Great cabin with wood deck. Love indoor wood burning fire place, full kitchen and living area. Also loved outdoor fire pit. It had all the necessities for home away from home. Lots of peace and quiet. A short drive to the lakes and hiking trails.
