About this property

Picturesque retreat inspired by Thomas Kinkade, set on 1.5 acres!

Nestled among stunning Aspens and Pines, you’ll immediately feel warmth and charm the moment you arrive in the neighborhood. There's plenty of lush grass for outdoor games or even pitching a tent—kids love sleeping under the stars! The cabin isn't just your typical mountain cabin; it feels like stepping into a Kinkade painting. Enjoy a luxurious stay with top-of-the-line furnishings that truly stand out. This charming cabin features hardwood floors, cozy wooden beams, beautiful interior finishes, and Wi-Fi. Step onto the front porch, where a lovely swing and outdoor furniture await—a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather and peaceful meadow views. If you're lucky, you might see a lovely pasture filled with elk! We’re thrilled to welcome a new baby elk to our yard every year; it’s always a remarkable sight! As you enter the home, the great room offers ample seating around the large flagstone fireplace, perfect for chilly evenings and s’mores.

The kitchen boasts high-quality granite countertops and backsplash, a 6-burner Jenn-Air gas stove, a Jenn-Air quiet dishwasher, a Jenn-Air oven, and a microwave. The stylish copper sink is a great choice because of its antimicrobial properties. You'll also find a full-sized washer and dryer conveniently located in the kitchen. Just beside the kitchen is a lovely bar area with a wine fridge and another charming copper sink. This is where we relax and enjoy coffee and drinks at the bar. The back patio, easily accessible from the kitchen, is ideal for grilling with our Weber charcoal grill.

The master bedroom is downstairs, with a loft featuring a queen bed upstairs. Access the loft via a fully secure wooden ladder! The loft isn’t enclosed, so please keep that in mind when booking.

Our location is in Tal Wi Wi, just four miles north of Alpine, at an elevation of 8,200 feet. Tal Wi Wi has its own restaurant and lodge. Be sure to stop by Long Shadow and enjoy their patio. Alpine offers many excellent dining options; The Foxfire restaurant—definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a nice dinner, pizza, or lively night dancing to a live country band! The Bear Wallow serves an amazing country breakfast and was featured on television for its homemade pies! The Alpine Grill is open from morning till night and also hosts live bands.

Are you into fishing streams or lakes? That’s why we chose this spot—to enjoy the widest variety! Interested in exploring? There are many trails and dirt roads, so be sure to pack a lunch. Enjoy hiking on the numerous nearby trails—pick the one that excites you most! And if snowmobiling sounds fun, we've got the deepest snow for plenty of excitement. Come and make the most of these wonderful adventures!

Host profile image
My first visit to this cabin was before I even considered buying a property. As a Realtor, I couldn't resist pulling off the highway when I saw the "Open House" sign to take a closer look. As I drove up to the cabin, I felt so captivated by the stunning scenery around me. Having lived in AZ since 1968 and camping my whole life, I was no stranger to beautiful views, but this place was truly special. I had already fallen in love with it even before turning into the driveway. When I saw this upgraded cabin that genuinely felt like I was in Scottsdale, I told the owner I was going to buy it! You’ll understand what I mean when you turn off the highway and see it for yourself!

Why they chose this property

Once you turn left onto the road, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking view! I couldn't help but be in awe!

What makes this property unique

My property truly stands out because it has approximately $85,000 worth of lovely upgrades inside the home. The kitchen features stunning, highest-grade granite countertops and a backsplash, complemented by a charming copper kitchen sink. There's also a cozy bar area with a copper sink. In the second bathroom, you'll find beautifully tiled stone walls and an elegant stone shower. The master bedroom features warm, beautiful wood details, complemented by a tiled shower and charming stone sinks, creating a welcoming and luxurious atmosphere. The 1 1/2 acres are almost flat, creating a lovely yard that’s perfect for use!
