About this property

Beautiful bunkhouse in forest just hours outside Phoenix metro area

Perfectly nestled in the forest in Strawberry, AZ the Kodiak Bunkhouse, Studio Cabin blends seamlessly into its environment. It sits inconspicuously on our 1 acre of property. It is the guest house next to the main cabin.

Walking around the Bunkhouse to the back you will find the gas grill and comfortable patio seating that overlooks the dense forest of surrounding pine trees. Upon entering the cabin you will quickly realize this is not your grandad's hunting cabin. 2 queen sized beds occupy one end of the cabin and an efficient kitchenette resides on the side. The bathroom features a glass shower door with brand new tile. During our winters, you will enjoy the warmth and romantic atmosphere generated by the electric fireplace that sits in front of the futon couch that can easily be turned into a bed. Entertainment is provided with a smart TV, cards, board games, fast WiFi and the local bars and restaurants within a few miles. Not to mention the amazing hiking and biking trails, Fossil Creek and Tonto Natural Bridge a few miles away as well.

Jeff was top notch host!! His response time to inquiries or questions were immediate. My husband & I were amazed at the seclusion, location, and very lovely cozy mountain lodging. Everything we needed was available to us & Jeff is very kind. Loved sitting back on the patio & just hearing silence except for the wind whistling through the beautiful tall trees. We enjoyed the cuisine the town had to offer, trail walking and a casual drive to experience the multitude of elk in the area. All the little calves so adorable this time of year. And we just rested and enjoyed the cooler temperatures!! We will be back to this wonderful little bunkhouse on the hill! Everything was perfect for a little escape. Thanks again, Jeff! Rob & DJ

5 Stars - Peaceful Stay at the Bunkhouse

We absolutely loved our stay at the Bunkhouse in Strawberry! The cabin was spotless and decorated so cute. It had such a warm and inviting feel. We enjoyed time on the porch watching the hummingbirds come and go. The host was incredibly responsive and flexible which made the whole experience, smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a clean, cozy and peaceful getaway in the pines, the Bunkhouse is the perfect spot! We can’t wait to go back.

Peace!

The bunkhouse is beautifully decorated, very clean and fully equipped to meet almost any need. The resident dog is a delightful welcoming committee who our dog enjoyed very much. Most importantly to us ~ it was very peaceful. Jeff is a great host! We will return to the bunkhouse.

Makes Life Easier!

The property is true to the description and photos. Clean, cozy, stocked, charming and even had little touches of fall decorating. The front porch area is great to just relax. Plus, it has a grill and picnic table for an added bonus. My husband and I were only going to stay in Strawberry one night (we stayed somewhere else the first night) and then decided on a whim for a 2nd night so I found and booked the Bunkhouse. Now I wish we knew about this place before we already committed to the other place! Jeff (host) was super nice! He communicates with you immediately via Vrbo and later on text. He is very friendly and has a super friendly pooch who may come to greet you at some point. We loved her. What I like best about Jeff is he goes above and beyond for the traveler. Check in is noon, which is AMAZING to begin with! I cannot stand that hotels and other places have stretched this out over the years to be later and later and later. When my husband and I were killing a little time in Pine, I received a text from Jeff at 11:14 am informing me the Bunkhouse was ready and we could check in early if we liked. This to me was another big AMAZING. Especially when the other place we stated at forced a 4pm check in and not even giving you the code till almost 4pm. Don’t get me started. Traveler’s are weary after long drives and desire a place to take a load off, and maybe get a shower or nap before dinner. Please don’t think or expect the Bunkhouse host to give everyo

Elegant & Cozy Cabin Getaway

We absolutely adored our time at the bunkhouse. The online pictures do not do justice to just how neat, nice and comfortable the space is. Just two miles off of the main downtown Strawberry strip, it's perfectly nestled back in a quiet neighborhood with your own private space. The burner and larger toaster oven in the kitchen work great, and it's equipped with lots of pots and pans for cooking. Jeff is a great host and was super communicative and the check in/out process was a breeze. This was a truly peaceful and relaxing time and we hope to be back very soon!
