About this property

Wapiti Run Retreat - Secluded Log Cabin on 4 Acre Lot w/Mt & Pond Views/Wildlife

This idyllic 4-bedroom, 3-bath full log home is surrounded by spectacular scenery—including 360-degree mountain views and highland meadows with roaming horses and elk—offering a relaxing year-round retreat for visitors of all ages. You’ll love the pristine setting and its abundant nearby recreation opportunities.

Enjoy the peace and beauty of the neighboring 8-acre pond, surrounding mountains, wildlife, and dark night skies. Watch elk splashing in the pond, bald eagles and osprey soaring, and blue herons fishing, all from the great room or deck. The front porch gets early morning sun, perfect for that first cup of coffee or tea, and you’ll love the spectacular dark skies, perfect for stargazing.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy close proximity to skiing, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, zip lining, sledding, snow shoeing, horseback riding, kayaking, and canoeing.

Drive to a number of nearby locations and then come back to enjoy this relaxing, secluded retreat.
• 5 minutes to the Coronado Scenic Byway
• 20 minutes to Luna Lake, Casa Malpais Ruins, Nelson Reservoir and Alpine, AZ;
• 40 minutes to Big Lake, Lyman Lake State Park, and Greer, AZ;
• 45 minutes to Sunrise Ski Park Resort (opposite direction from the crowds coming in from Pinetop means little traffic to get stuck in);
• 2 hours to the Petrified Forest, 2 ½ to the Painted Desert, Window Rock and el Morro National Monument, and 3 hours to Canyone de Chelly.

The home sits on 4 fenced acres and overlooks an 8-acre pond. Some notable features include a full wall of windows in the great room overlooking the pond, views from every room, a large master bedroom with fireplace, 3 additional spacious bedrooms (the 4th bedroom being huge loft with private bathroom), high speed internet, and an oversized 2 + car garage, and a well equipped kitchen.

Our third year here, and we're coming back
This the third year we have rented the cabin, and we love it more every time. My wife and I are in our 80's and we enjoy the walks in the vicinity, the absolutely wonderful summer respite from Phoenix, the monsoon storms that bless the afternoons, and the solitude and beauty of the surroundings. We brought some grandchildren and their significant others this year for a long weekend, and a friend for another week. We are planning to return next year if we remain healthy.

Slice of Paradise
I have driven through Nutrioso many times in my life but didn't know this area existed. When we arrived the fields were teeming with elk. It was delightful to see them in the field. The house has binoculars in every room so you can see the wildlife up close. The patio was a haven to rest and enjoy the mountain air. The home has a lovely living room with vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. There is plenty of space for large families. The kitchen has every dish and utensil you could possibly want. We cooked every day we were there and had everything we needed. The downside to the property is that it is showing its age and needs some maintenance. The windows are covered in bird poop from the sparrows that nest in the eves. The ice maker is broken. There are notes on doors regarding what not to lock (because you can't get it unlocked if the nob moves). The deadbolt on the front door was engaged when we arrived and the key does not open it. Fortunately we found another door that we could gain entry. The toilets run constantly. And the listed phone number for the property manager does not work. Fortunately she did respond to email. Unfortunately, she said she would message the owner regarding getting a maintenance person out. That did not happen during our stay. Despite these issues, when we left we were refreshed and desiring to return. It is a lovely home and gorgeous setting.

mountain retreat
This home is spacious. The location is perfect. The deck facing a small lake is great for relaxing and enjoying mountain air and nature. Wildlife abounds from rabbits, geese, swallows, coyotes, fox, elk and more. The home does need some work on the inside here and there and the windows desperately need washing to enjoy the fabulous view, but it is still a lovely place to be. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and bake, we were very pleased! We will gladly return to this mountain retreat.

Beautiful Cabin, unreasonable rules.
The cabin and the views were stunning! Of note, the road in to the cabin is not paved. A car could not have made it. 2 ft deep mud. Thankfully all our vehicles had 4-wheel drive and was needed each time. If not for the unreasonable rules of the owners, it still would have been 4-5 stars. 1. Only allowed 1 large black bag of garbage TOTAL for the entire stay. Told we had to take any additional garbage with us. The landfills are all closed on Mondays, so we had to take garbage in our cars on the drive home. 2. Long printed list of required clean up to get cleaning deposit back. We followed the list to every picky detail, no money was returned. We left the cabin cleaner than we found it. 3. Told not to use the washing machine, or there would be an additional $300 fee! I thought every VRBO was required to provide this amenity? And to not have access to a washer in a mountain cabin during snow season is absurd. Buy a new washer! 4. The fire place was filthy. Remnants of the previous guest fire were still there, not cleaned. It has glass doors on both sides, but they were covered in black soot and completely blocked the view of the fire. The lake view windows were also streaked with dust/soot. 4. The smart thermostat was remotely reprogrammed each night to 50°. We woke up FREEZING! The cost of the stay was doubled with their additional fees. Don’t expect to get your deposit back, despite following all their demands.

Can’t beat the view
The only negatives I have for this place is that the windows were incredibly dirty from the birds which made the amazing views less appealing. The description said there was a crib but only a pack and play was provided (which worked fine). The trash compactor was broken and honestly in our way. The location is awesome. The views great. The porch is to die for and we were comfortable for our week. Would stay again.

This is a beautiful home and great property. Very comfortable with plenty of room and exceptional views from every window with the exception of the bird droppings. However, the house had everything you would possibly need and more. Simply a wonderful place to spend quality time with family in a peaceful, gorgeous environment.

It's our second time staying at what my children refer to as the "Cabin Mansion." We enjoy being surrounded by wildlife and saw an "Elk Pool Party" with over 50 elk in attendance on our last day of the trip. If you are looking for a great family retreat, this is the place to go.

The view
The view its what sold me. It is a beautiful cabin that just needs a little TLC. Doors from 2nd bedroom and upstair bd dont close properly. Bedroom sheets were soiled/blood stain and we had to redo them before we went to sleep the firt night. Oven was dirty. Remote for greatroom fan was missing. There is other stuff that needs to be addressed. Its the little details that make your trip memorable. Such a welcome wine/ popcorn ect that makes you feel welcome. First time ever I dont get that. I would totally stay again if owner addresses all these things with cleaning crew. Regardless, we had a fabulous time
