What a lovely home! If I had had my dog with me, it would have been a perfect set-up for her. This home is centrally located and very well-appointed. The neighborhood is quiet and it’s easy to find. We enjoyed our stay very much!

We loved the stay and the TV's were very large screens. The kitchen was very nice, even had all the condiments you would ever need. Plus lots of chips, snacks etc. I never needed anything as it was all there. The king bed was very comfortable and the queen bed on the left was too but the queen bed on the right was not. Even had a laundry room and an herb garden. It was a good location in town too. Over all I give it a 10.

We appreciate you being great guests and your comments. To clarify, we purchased one firm and one medium mattress for the front room thereby giving guests a choice of sleeping accommodations. We are glad you found the bed that works best for you! Thanks again and hope to see you again in the future!

We loved our stay. The home is so charming and nicely furnished with so many small comforts to make you feel at home. The beds are very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, yet close to all the amenities you want. We love to cook and really enjoyed the well equipped kitchen. The host was very great with communication in answering any questions.We will be back!

It’s a lovely home and owners provided snacks for us and pups as well. Cold water bottles in the fridge upon arrival were much appreciated. The fenced yard was great for the dogs. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need and I especially liked the coffee bar! Bedrooms were large, beds very comfortable and 2 full bathrooms were a plus.

Other than the challenge with the Fire Stick (the batteries were out of juice) and the refrigerator not cooling because I think the doors don't close, everything else was great. For a dog lovers home, it was fully stocked and labeled for dog blankets and has plenty of dog leashes. We love animals and could not smell wet dog. There were elk every morning. Lots of stay at home activities and very quiet neighbors. Fully stocked home just bring your clothes, tooth brush and tooth paste, everything is literally provided.

Thank you again for being a great guests! We appreciated having you stay with us and that you took great care of our place! To update you we did find out that the refrigerator and freezer had been set to the maximum freezing and cooling temperatures… Not by you but probably by a previous guest. This causes the cooling jets in the fridge to freeze up and that’s why it wasn’t cooling properly. We thought it out and have it running great again. Hopefully we’ll see you again one day and we’ll make sure everything is up and running for your visit. Cheers!

Do Not forward your mail if your extended stay. Ordered items from Amazon, they were small items and were sent USPS. Mail box is a street side lock box. We stayed the month of August and met several nice people from the area. Hope to stay at this location next year.

Book this place with confidence! I couldn't have asked for a better place to meet the needs of our stay in payson. I highly recommend this place. Communication was rock solid, instructions were very clear and there wasn't any unnecessary to do list upon checkout. I have absolutely zero bad to say. If I find myself in the area again, this will be the first place I look to book.

House is clean and has all the amenities you could possibly need however if you plan to BBQ or sit out by the fire pit in the evening time you need to take your own propane. They supply the grill and the fire pit and the tank but not the propane. We do not travel with propane so we were very disappointed. Said why should they pay to supply propane. They suggested I take the empty tank to Ace or home Depot and fill it myself. I do not believe the traveler and the people paying to rent the place should have to pay for their propane. They told me they supply the refrigerator but not the food to put in it which I think is a pretty silly comparison. They also told me that they supply a working stove that I can cook on and they supply the heat, which I'm paying for when I rent the place. Bottom line, if you don't intend to barbecue or don't intend to sit by the fire pit outside then this could be the place for you.

Thank you for your comments. Yes, we do not provide fuel for the fireplace, fire pit, or either grill. The amenities are for every guest and we cannot monitor how much or how often they use these amenities. To be fair, we ask our guests to provide these fuels according to their needs. This way we don't have to have extra fees for amenities that may or may not be utilized. i.e. every guest may not be interested in grilling or sitting by the fire pit. We do not limit your use of these amenities because you are responsible for the fuel. At Hidden Trails Retreat there are many, many amenities which you may not find in other vacation rentals. We try to provide everything that is reasonably needed for your stay as a convenience. Many of our guests have barbecued, sat by the fire, and made s'mores on the fire pit. If you love these activities, all we ask is that you check ahead of time for fuel so that your plans are not ruined. Note: we do disclose this ahead of time on the platform so there should be no surprises. We appreciate you being great guests and hope that the misunderstanding doesn't damper your enthusiasm for Hidden Trails Retreat.

We had amazing experience here! We wanted to come to Payson for a short weekend trip to hike with our dogs and we were not disappointed. We felt very at home here, they go above and beyond with accommodations, and provide many different things that your pups might need! We will definitely be back

Very clean home and tons of entertainment options. A park is a very easy walk from the house which was a nice option for some outdoor fun without having to drive. The beds were very comfortable. The den does not have a door so if you need three bedrooms that are private, this might not work for you.

great location. dog friendly with fenced back yard and front porch. local dog park within easy walking distance. close to an Elks lodge. all shopping and restaurants are close by. I enjoy cooking, the lighting in the cook area is dim, needs a little lighting under the cabinets. we have booked the home for the month of August, and I have favorite pot and pans which I will bring. there is plenty cook ware there, but it is dated. again great place, great location, oh did i say we booked in the month of August, that should tell you how much we enjoyed Hidden Trails Retreat!

Hidden Trails Verbo was by far the nicest Verbo we’ve stayed at. A nice quiet neighborhood, relaxing home and backyard. It was clean and it was like being at home. The pictures on the website are exactly how the house is, which isn’t always the case. Jon our host always responded to our questions immediately. We also loved how pet friendly it is. The neighbors were nice as well. We highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a place in Payson! We loved everything about it.Dennis & Rhonda

Amazing property. Comfortable stay all the way around. My only complaint is the knives in the kitchen were a bit dull, so if you plan on cooking most nights like we did it may be nice to get a decent knife. Other than that it was all great. Host was very communicative and laid out the town well in their guest book. Will for sure stay again.

We are glad that you had a great day and hope to see you again soon! A quick note… We do have sharp knives. The knife block of Henkel knives on the counter next to the toaster are very sharp. The ones you used were faberwear, and we replaced those with the Henkels… but we kept them under the counter for backup! We are happy to offer almost any amenity you can imagine and we even supply a knife sharpener that is easy to use in one of our drawers of utensils. We hope you’ll look forward to coming up and trying some chef skills in our kitchen again but with sharper knives next time! Thank you so much for staying and thank you for your review!

The hosts have thought of everything you could need for your get-away! They strive to make you and your pet(s) enjoy your stay. Pets are an additional 50 fee (not refundable) which apparently “fell off” of the listing and came as a surprise. The hosts have said they’ve corrected with VRBO and let us check in a little early as a concession. Other than that, couldn’t have asked for more.
