About this property

Beautiful Forest Lakes home nestled in the woods w/ perfect in and outdoor ameni

When you want to get away from all the hustle of the Valley, you can conveniently drive two hours, arriving in the pines at our beautiful home in the forest. Our home boasts four main bedrooms (master bedroom on the main floor with a king-sized bed, and two comfortable bedrooms on the second floor with wonderful views.) There is a very spacious great room with a television and wi-fi. Also, on the main floor is a side room with two bunk beds. The garage is spacious. On the west side of the house and below the side room, there is a game room with foosball and air hockey tables. We recently expanded the yard on the lower, west side for your hammock, a place to play games like cornhole, etc. We have a spacious driveway with lots of parking, a fire pit, a BBQ, prongs for roasting marshmallows or hot dogs, a cornhole set, and more. Though the interior of the cabin is cozy and comfortable, go out, sit on the full, wrap-around deck, and enjoy the fresh air! The road in front of our cabin, Summer Loop, leads to the ponds that people love to go to for picnics, fishing, and sledding (in the winter). Coconino License STR-24-04373349

Famly time

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible stay at Ron and Marilyn's cabin over Thanksgiving! The cabin itself is absolutely beautiful, offering a perfect blend of comfort and charm. Our family spent four amazing days there, filled with fun and laughter. The hosts were welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The cabin has so much to offer, from cozy spaces for gathering to stunning views. We loved exploring the area and enjoying the nature around us. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable getaway! Highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a relaxing retreat.

Lovely stay at Forest Lakes Home

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin! It was spacious enough for our multigenerational family of 12, and having 2 refrigerators was very helpful! The outdoor space, in the form of a wrap-around deck, was especially great. Because the picnic tables and rocking chairs were lightweight, we could easily move them wherever the shade was falling on the deck. Loved using the firepit as well as the games/puzzles that were included. Working with the cabin owners was wonderful, and communication is their strong suit! We would definitely recommend this cabin to others who want to enjoy the beautiful forests, streams and lakes in this part of AZ!

Great cabin and location for our kids and grandkids. Cabin was just as promised. Easy access to the pond for fishing and other activities. Plenty of comfortable sleeping spaces.

Girls Paddle board weekend

This cabin was the perfect stay for our ladies paddle board weekend! 8 of us stayed and paddles Woods Canton Lake one day and Willow Spring Lake the next day. Both were very close and convent. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we could need. Ron was the nicest host and very responsive. He truly wanted to make our stay memorable and was great with local recommendations. We will definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Ron Tenney

Host profile image
We have been part-time residents of Forest Lakes since 1999. We love everything about coming here in each of the seasons for various reasons. It has been a gathering place for our family and friends. We have five sons and thankfully, 2 of them lived and raised their families for a few years in the area. Ron is a veterinarian and Marilyn is a counselor. We built this home, intending to make it our summer home, but ended up using it for guests.

Why they chose this property

This home is on a quiet road in Forest Lakes, set far back from the main roads in the area. When quads are traveling in the area, the prevailing wind pushes all dust away. We built a huge deck so that we could be comfortable just lounging around on summer evenings. There is a nice view of the pines both in front, behind and to the west of the cabin.

What makes this property unique

There are comfortable beds for 12 (plus two couches). We have a BBQ as well as an outdoor firepit. If you chose to stay with us, please GET OUTSIDE and enjoy nature. But if the weather is not cooperating, we have wi-fi and TV with access to Roku, Netflix, and other streaming media. The spacious, panoramic view through the windows brings the Ponderosa forest to you.
