You must make a reservation here! This is the type of cabin where one finds tranquility and quiet with a stream flowing by, yet is near the town of Payson with lots to do. Every detail of the decor is perfect! Very charming, yet rustic with a wood burning fireplace.

The cabin was absolutely perfect for a mountain getaway for my husband and me. The location can’t be beat, right on beautiful Christopher Creek! And the cabin is so well done, super comfortable and charming. The outdoor space was the best! Lots of porches and decks to enjoy the gorgeous surroundings. The kitchen and cabin, in general, were well stocked with everything you could possibly need and want. Lynne was very responsive and a great host. We are already thinking about when we can return!

This was the perfect place to rest, relax, and recharge. The cabin was immaculate, there were easy to follow instructions for everything, the kitchen was well stocked with cookware, dishes, etc., and the hosts were really easy to reach if needed. The creek outside was so wonderful to just sit and watch, and we had an elk visit in the front yard. I highly recommend this place.

Amazing cabin stay. The creek, privacy, and views make it incredibly peaceful. The place was spotless. The hot tub and fire pit were perfect for relaxing after a long day. Easily one of the most relaxing trips I’ve had. I’d stay here again and again. Highly recommend.

What a great retreat to get away from it all. The outdoor deck facing the creek with the Jacuzzi tub just can’t be beat for relaxation and reflection. There is plentiful outdoor space with seating to entertain.The country decor inside is warm and inviting with lamps everywhere and dimmable lighting throughout the cabin to set the tone The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you could possibly need and the rooms are warm and invitingCoffee on the deck at sunrise, or a cocktail on the patio for sunset is magicalOur host was responsive to our every need, even going out of their way to bring us an extension cord when we needed oneThis cabin gets my highest recommendation and I can’t wait to return
