Thank you so much for taking your time to leave a review which can help others decide to stay on our property in the future. We greatly appreciate you and hope you will return again soon.
The Mountain Meadows home was perfect for our family stay. Had everything we needed plus a lot of fun extras. Large deck with grill and smoker and a hot tub. Kitchen fully stocked with all you need pots pans utensils etc. Spacious home and property manager was awesome. Would highly recommend the Mountain Meadows Home!!!
We had a nice stay at this rental, house was clean, and the area is beautiful to explore. I believe no place is perfect and I would never leave a bad review for minor inconveniences, but I decided to post because I wanted to warn future guests that the laundry room that is located in this house was not available to us through a locked door that was used all day and night by staff laundering for the other smaller cabins on site. Before we arrived I indicated we would need to use the laundry. The owner would not agree to even a slot of time for us to run two loads. I had to plead with her to allow use. And after pleading she derided me for not checking the laundry door was unlocked for us the prior night even though she didn’t tell us it was available. 5 days into our stay we were able to run 2 loads, but that didn’t help the fact that someone was in our space day and night running the machines. Nor how rude this owner was to us for asking for something that is expected for a weekly stay in a home. The listing is not clear about the lack of laundry availability nor having someone in your space, so I feel compelled to post this fact. Also, there were rats scratching in the walls at night. I would not stay in this rental again.

Wow, Heather, listing clearly states attached laundry room is only available for stays OVER one week. You asked for an exception. I gave it to you. Even though all of the cabins were completely full with other families celebrating the holidays and housekeeping staff having to clean and run laundry on Christmas and New Year’s. I declined your request to make the housekeepers come early and lock them into a “no laundry timeslot” for you when they were already working instead of being with their families on the holidays.
Main housekeeper left the laundry room unlocked for you to get in at anytime overnight or the next day as soon as they were done for the day.
I celebrated the holiday with my family overnight, and woke up surprised to multiple messages from you demanding an access code or “timeslot.“ I asked you if you had checked the door which was supposed to be left unlocked for you.
It was a simple question, not a screaming at you. (Your Messages had a lot of “??!!” and mine just asked you if you had checked the door since I couldn’t tell if the housekeeper had forgotten to leave it unlocked as a favor to you even during all the busy-ness of the holiday no vacancy times.) She had not forgotten you.
Now you leave this review. I regret making an exception for you. I’m guessing you didn’t leave an extra thank you gratuity for the housekeepers either in addition to leaving her with extra holiday mess from your family.

Mouse infested. Could not stay. And owner refused to refund. Should have contacted Vrbo direct but didn’t want to ruin this cabin rating for something like this. Wanted to give owner a chance to fix it. Now regret that choice.At first look every thing looked clean. Unfortunately we were not able to stay because we found mouse droppings on the beds. And a mouse in the oven. We had a picture of a mouse in oven and droppings on one of the beds. But because I didn’t take pictures of all the droppings on all the beds and couch and window sills. owner believed house keeper over us and refused to give a refund saying lack of proof! So disappointing. And very pricey for what it is a night! Manufactured home, weird layout and close neighbors. You have to walk through one of the bedrooms with the queen bed to enter house from parking areas. So sad we had to leave and pack up in the pouring rain and drive home because no one wanted to sleep on mouse poop beds, when we could drive home and sleep in our own beds. Not to mention that we saw actual live mice running around in the kitchen and dining room!!

I just found this review, parked here unexpectedly. V RBO had told me the inaccurate and retaliatory review would not be posted. Those pictures are not from our property.
When these Guests first reported seeing a mouse and mouse droppings, I personally asked for pictures repeatedly without response. I also sent an exterminator, a maintenance man with traps, and housekeeping crew to sanitize and clean. I received 20 pictures from multiple professionals showing me there was no evidence of any kind of infestation.
Meanwhile, these guests had five guests more than their booking number, trashed the hot tub, barbecue, and kitchen. So the pictures that came from the professionals showed how many different areas the extra large party had enjoyed prior to trying to extort a full refund.
And then they threatened a negative review if I did not refund their full rental amount immediately and without pictures.
Even if these blurry images pictures now provided were showing something bad and could be identified as being from our Property, why wouldn’t they have shown them to me in response to my repeated requests when none of the professionals who drove to be on site within hours of guest complaint could find any evidence of what they had been complaining about?
They cost us significant money and inconvenience, attempted extortion (if they thought it was so bad why would they agree to not warn others only if we paid them??) and now they are attempting to hurt our reputation in retaliation for my refusal to pay them. I would not rent to these people again and do not recommend anyone rent to them.
We had such a great time! The house was so cozy and fully equipped. We had the "surrounded-by-nature" feeling of camping and a huge bath tub and gourmet kitchen! It was so peaceful and private while we were at the house hanging out on the big private deck. And the kids loved the pac man (old school) video game in the living room. We also walked to the other side of the property with 6 cute cabins and a communal fire circle. How rare to get the family together unplugged under the stars telling stories and making s'mores. It is the perfect place to slow the pace and remember whats really important. I'd really recommend it as a romantic getaway or a family re-connection week (especially for us city slickers). And, just so ya know, this house is on a really charming property with 6 cabins that would be really great for a big family reunion or small destination wedding. So charming and really designed to bring people together. Can't wait to come back soon and bring the cousins!
The check in process was so easy. The owners were wonderful and checked to see if we needed anything throughout our stay. They even helped make a bonfire for my kids to enjoy. Everything was perfect and we'll definitely be staying here again in the future. Thank you!
Our stay at this home was fantastic and we couldn't have asked for much more. There is a ton of space for multiple families. The bed is the master bedroom is huge and the deck is was great for everyone to hang out on. We had a question or two during our stay and we were able to get answers very quickly. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a relaxing time outside of the city.
Our legal address says Payson, but we are on the very outskirts of Payson so we avoid the traffic congestion that can happen on weekends. Plus we are up in the beautiful, cool pine trees 🌲🌲 with crisp clean air with no dust and even cooler temperatures in the actual town of Payson in the summer.
We are only 15 minutes from two lakes: Woods Canyon and Willow.
And we are located in the prestigious “Gordon Canyon” which is removed from any of the people or motorcycle noises of the actual towns, and yet the turn off on to our Colcord Road location is only 2 miles from the turn off into the quaint town of Christopher Creek with its lively two indoor/outdoor restaurants, live music on the weekends, convenience store, etc.
So you are near convenient food and festive entertainment, but get to sleep in quiet, comfortable and restful environment.
