It is our 3rd time renting this cabin and we are planning to return! We are very pleased with the amenities they have to offer. I would suggest taking your own
Our group stayed three nights and spent our days paddling the two nearby lakes and morning/evenings in the hammock chairs on the patio. An amazing home, wonderful hosts, and unforgettable memories made!
This was a perfect property for our group. Many accommodations and loved the disc golf course, volleyball, and other various games available. Plenty of sleeping arrangements for large groups. A great Vrbo stay for the price.
It easily fit 15 of us comfortably. Loved that there was so much for the kids to do outside as well as inside. The 2 bathrooms was a little bit of a challenge, but we made it work.
Cabin is located within 2 hours from Phoenix area and is perfect for a big family! Wish there was more cleaning supplies on the property. The shop nearby was closed so it was hard to find the basic items but apart from that great location and overall we had a good stay!
This is the perfect cabin for a family getaway. Plenty of games and toys for the kids. Large property with tons of outdoor activities. The owners were very helpful with any questions we had. We will definitely come again!
We enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful. We will stay here again. The only issue was a long delay in getting hot water at the kitchen sink. Otherwise everything was perfect. This house is a kids paradise! We didn't have our grandchildren with us this time, but we will for sure bring them next time. They will love it!
My husband and I rented this cabin for a Christmas gift to our kids and grandkids. I loved it so much! The guys loved playing disk golf while the gals enjoyed swinging on the hammocks on the deck while the grandkids enjoyed the provided toys and books. We also enjoyed the pickleball court with a tournament. The house was nice and beds were comfortable. Great place!
We were in town for a family wedding nearby. Location was convenient. Lots of space for everyone. Kitchen was well stocked. Propane not available for outdoor fire pit.
Beautiful, spacious and clean. The owner was in communication throughout the stay for questions I had. We will definitely be going back in the summer to enjoy the outdoors. Has boardgames for the kids, enough blankets and beds. I would just take extra Paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags and laundry detergent.
I highly recommend this cabin!!
Fantastic weekend!! We rented the cabin for a girls weekend, there were eight of us all between 50 and 60 yrs old we love to eat, drink and play games and being able to seat all of us at the dinning table and on the couch was so nice. The bedrooms and kitchen were great. Everyone is excited to rent again in the summer to enjoy the incredible outdoor space.Davis was the best he we went above and beyond to make our stay Perfect.
This amazing property was perfect for our family trip w Nana & Papa, children and grandchildren for 9 total. Lots of room, the patio with those comfy swing chairs was a hit, the fire table was on the patio and we roasted marshmallows for smores. The dinning table had room for everyone and the kids loved the entire yard. Played frizbee, basketball, kicked a soccer ball, built a fort and on and on. We were able to park 3 trucks with trailers and unload a sxs from each. It was a little tight but workable. Beds were comfy. Will visit again!
Location was perfect. Close proximity to our favorite lakes. The General store across the street had great selection of items. House looked and smelled very clean when we arrived. Lots of space and activities for the whole family. Driveway was very spacious and flat. Hosts were amazing and very responsive with any questions or concerns during and even before our stay. All in all AMAZING trip. We even had some deer come walking through the property for a visit. Hope to return at least once a year. Thanks David! We had a blast!
We had 10 adults in our group and it fitted us comfortably. Location is great! Near woods canyon lake and willow springs for kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. Location had a general store that was walking distance. Property was clean and it had everything you needed. Sports equipment was great to have. Host was friendly and quick to respond to any questions i had.

About the host
Hosted by David
My spouse and I met playing beach volleyball in Mexico in 2011. Ever since we have been doubles partners on and off the court. We have been blessed in all aspects of our lives and were able to purchase vacation properties in both Rocky Point Mexico and Forest Lakes AZ. We continue to enjoy these properties with our 3 children. But as our family continues to grow, Life has become more difficult to spend time away from home. Because of this we would like to share these retreats with others and hope that they enjoy what we have created for ourselves. We have taken up a new exciting hobby called Disc Golf. During the pandemic we found this a great way to stay active while outdoors. We have become passionate about sharing this sport with others so much so that we have built a FUN and Challenging Disc Golf Course on our property in Forest Lakes. When it is 115 degrees in Phoenix we escape for a quick getaway and an opportunity to play a competitive round with friends and family.

We try to provide everything that we would want in a Cabin. This includes all the comforts of home so that our guests experience a getaway in OUR PERSONAL VACATION HOME, not just staying in a vacation rental unit.
