About this property

Cool Vintage Lake Cottage:Firepit, Kayaks, Bikes, horseshoe pit, outdoor movies

This 1960s vintage styled 3 bedroom/2 bath Rainbow Lake log cabin is the perfect family lake cottage getaway with lots of activities to keep everyone busy as well as relaxed from the city. Plenty of parking for multiple vehicles as well as RV and boat. Bring your lake toys or use ours! Fully fenced and nestled in the tall pines close to the lake enjoy fishing and feel free to use our poles and tackle, kayaking with our kayaks, use our fire pit, use our horseshoe pit, use our mountain bikes, use our golf clubs, use our fishing gear, our BBQ grill with propane tank, outdoor dining for 8 and so much more! Hiking, swimming, fishing, go-karts, horseback riding, and mini golf, all close by. Summer has great farmers markets and farms with fresh produce and honey…and vintage stores are all open! If off season I can help you hunt for local honey or fresh farm eggs! Winter wonderland activities include our fire pit, our fireplace to keep you warm, sledding, snow ball fights with skiing or zip lines about 35 minutes away!

The White Mountains have so much to offer! Four true seasons where you can breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy the 40 lakes and over 600 miles of rivers and streams. In addition to the amazing fishing, this area has one of the most extensive trail systems in the southwest for hiking, biking, horseback riding, quading and more. Sunrise Ski resort is less than 40 minutes away with 3 beautiful mountains to ski, snow board or sled. Hiking and even ice fishing! Lots of local sledding as well. If shopping is in your interest, you will love the antique stores and the multitude of arts and craft shows that happen in the summer. Summer festival's include; The Hot Air Balloon festival, music festivals, Renaissance Faire, and more . If you love to golf, there are 3 amazing public courses close by.

The area has so much outdoor activities to offer, but if you are rained or snowed in the cabin is fully stocked with activities such as our fire pit, full game closet, and videos to make special memories regardless! This is our family’s cottage and we have everything you need to have a wonderful stress free stay!

Great stay+

Went with family to get out of the valley heat. Home was cozy and clean, lots of amenities that we, unfortunately, did not have the time to enjoy with smaller kids (biking, kayaks, etc). The kitchen was stocked with enough pots, pans, plates, utensils, spices, etc. Would love to stay here again if in the area.

The cabin was very nicely setup. Nicely decorated with a variety of items which made the environment interesting and relaxing. The communication from the host was great. We had daily texts for ideas of things to see/do while we were there and good checkin/checkout information as well. The area has a lot of good walks around different lakes or trails.

Nice little house for weekend getaway

We enjoyed our family vacation in this quiet neighborhood of little mountain town homes in the trees It has two bedrooms upstairs with five beds total (no bathroom which is somewhat inconvenient during the night/dark) and one downstairs with one bed and 1.5 baths. It has a nicely stocked kitchen and adequate seating in both the kitchen and family room area. There were games and a TV for the kids. It is conveniently located to grocery shopping which was nice and came in handy for planning meals and purchasing medical supplies. Our biggest issue arose from a lack of hand railings on either staircase which resulted in a serious injury when one of us fell down the stairs. Our suggestion is in a vacation rental that all ages of people stay, is that there are standard safety measures in place. Overall, we would recommend this rental with this one caviat and would stay here again.
