This was the perfect place to stay while waiting out the storm. Excellent communication. Would absolutely stay again and recommend to family anf friends.
The house is an amazing place to stay at! Everything looked exactly like the photos posted, and the place was very clean. Jackie, our host, responded very quickly to any questions, and was very kind. The whole process of booking, checking in, and checking out was very easy to follow.
Really enjoyed the patio, it being half covered and the other open. The heavily wooded property was a huge plus, part of the Payson experience. The home is comfortable, more than adequate supplies to cook with. The beds were comfortable as well. Parking worked well.
Our family amd close friends shared this house as a home retreat for a long baseball filled tournament weekend. It was immaculately clean and peaceful and seeved us well as we relaxed and celebrated between games.
This was a nicely secluded home in Payson, conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants. The master bedroom and bath had been upgraded. The back deck was exceptional. The host was awesome and ready to help with anything that was needed. My family enjoyed there time here.

Communications between the tenants and owner were great!
Tenants arrived and departed timely.
We were so pleased with this home. It was so welcoming. Very clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed the year books from the 40's and 50's very nostalgic. The bed was extremely comfortable for us and the shower was beautiful. I would recommend this house for a nice pleasant stay.
Very clean, very comfortable and loved loved loved the front deck. We spent a lot of our time just swinging and rocking and enjoying each others company. Took the grandkids fishing at Bear Canyon Lake and Green Valley. Hung hammocks between the trees. Beds were extremely comfortable. Will definitely stay here again!

Great!
The porch was amazing! Perfect for you morning coffee and nighttime star gazing! The house was very clean and accommodating! We’ll be back! Thank you!
As a family we have a hard time finding a place to stay at that is wheelchair accessible and this place was more than we expected. Jackie is amazing she was super helpful finding handicap accessible fishing places and even shared some of her beautiful memories made with her family in this amazing property. My husband loved the coziness and even said “ This place feels like grandmas house.” Thank you Jackie for allowing us to stay in this beautiful relaxing place. We will definitely be back…
