The host was very welcoming and provided in depth directions to the home and what to do in the area. The home was very comfortable for 4 adults and 1 child, the kitchen was very large and had everything you wpuld need to make meals, and the home was very clean. We did have an issue with the heating unit, but the host came by to check it out and suggested we leave the heated fireplaces on thepught the night for heat. That suggestion worked well and we were very comfortable.

Fun place to stay

Very spacious, more than enough room for eight people. The pool table, fire pit and hot tub provided great entertainment. The river and a nice picnic area a short walk away. Had a few hiccups but luckily owners live nearby and were able to fix things right away.

I feel strongly about my occupancy and my listing states this. I did advise him that it wasn't OK that he invited guests not on the booking to use my home to get ready for a wedding. Our community is right now on water restrictions so the extra showers and laundry was especially not appreciated.

Loved this cute home!

My wife and i stayed here for our anniversary. We absolutely loved the strange layout of the home, the hot tub, and the scenery. The owners were very friendly and they even left supplies for smores and other snacks and wine for us. The thoughtfulness from the owners really made this stay one of our favorites. We really didn't have any complaints aside from the small TV, but that is such a minor flaw. We were there to relax without the noise from the city, and we got exactly that. We never stay at the same VRBO more than once, but we would definitely rent from these owners again!

Little slice of paradise.

We have rented from these owners before, so when they put up this listing, we jumped on it. The house has a quirky layout which adds to its character. Perfect ace to escape the heat and relax. Hot tub was great. My only concern, which we mentioned to them. Is they need better lighting outside. Ither than that, we look forward to going back

Cute house in the woods

The owners were amazing and super helpful. They messaged is several times during our stay to see if we needed anything, which I've never had with any other vacation rental I've stayed in. The only thing I'll mention is that if there's a chance it'll rain or snow, make sure to bring proper equipment, and be aware that there is a creek you have to cross, so if there's rain you will need a higher clearance vehicle to cross it. We were worried we might get stuck with our csuvs, but it ended up being just fine by the time we left. The owners also said there is another way out of the neighborhood, it's just a dirt road and very hilly. Overall it was a lovely vacation!

nice house but unwanted visitor

The house is well located, old but cozy, details for the children, the only thing I didn't like is that the owner came knocking abruptly using as a pretext that one of the 2 locks to enter the house marked "low battery" which I didn't have to change it at that moment, since once the battery is given the notice you have even more days to change it, I used that pretext to arrive and examine who was in the house walking around the floor below "while I was changing a battery" now I even had doubts if there were cameras inside the house too, it is very uncomfortable that you rent a house for 2 nights and one of them you have the owner arriving early for my schedules (I was going to rest not to receive unwanted visitors), out of That's why the house is very nice and I liked the location.

Weekend in the woods

We had a fun weekend with the grandkids at this home in the woods. Between the pool table, hot tub, and nearby creek, we had lots to keep busy with. Then the owners brought over cornhole which added even more to the fun. The kids did not want to go home. Verla was very responsive. When we couldn't figure out the hot tub, she was there within 20 minutes to help us. Little sweet touches were a bottle of wine, a bowl with microwave popcorn, makings for s'mores, a Keurig with coffee pods, and even pancake mix and syrup! The big bed downstairs was so comfortable. I tried to peek to see what kind of mattress it was. The kitchen floor plan was a big quirky, but as an older home that had been added on to, it just added to the fun charm. Verla even connected us with a neighbor kid who invited our kids over to jump on the trampoline. Before we left the kids were already talking about the "next time we come here."

About the host

Hosted by Wes or Verla Dockter

Host profile image
My husband and I were married for over 55 years. He recently passed away and my grandson is with me. We bought and remodeled these homes. We are the proud parents of 2 children and now have added their spouses to our family. Our son and his wife have 2 boys, our daughter and her spouse have 2 girls. We were blessed to find our home in this quiet community. We loved the quiet and solitude here. We were able to build and remodel 5 homes one for us and 4 we are able to share with others. This work was done by my husband and myself. I live down the street from the rentals so I am close by for any needs.

Why they chose this property

We totally have fallen in love with this area so when we had the opportunity to purchase 3 homes we decided to make them into vacation rentals. We live down the street from the rentals. From sitting on the swing on the front deck and enjoying the views to relaxing in the jacuzzi this home is in a lovely area.

What makes this property unique

You are within walking distance to the East Verde River, There are hiking trails in the community and around Payson. The Natural Forest Gate is at the end of the road the house is on. The Natural Bridge is 5 miles up 87 from our community. There are also lakes for kayaking close by. Lots of antiquing, uniques stores,golfing, Zane Grey Museum. Payson is a Town that hosts a lot of events including rodeos. There is a large choice of restaurants. We also have a casino.
