This is a uniquely renovated, 450 sq ft., 1 bedroom/1 bathroom cabin located in the heart of the Prescott National Forest. Perfect for people interested in peaceful getaways, wonderful spring, summer and fall climates, panoramic views of the forest, bird watching, hiking, or just chilling out on the deck overlooking the trees.
After turning off Highway I-69, you'll start a scenic 8 mile drive up 1,000 feet into the woods. This area, historically known for gold mining, is now popular for weekend and summer cabins. Even though you'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, Costco, Trader Joe's, Wildflower Bread Company, Five Guys Burgers, Texas Roadhouse, and Am/Pm are just 15 minutes away. There is also a fun restaurant and bar on Lynx Lake, which is less than 10 minutes from the house (open Thursday - Sunday, hours vary).
The Marfa Mansion has high speed wireless internet and a smart flat-screen TV with Amazon FireStick apps (Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc.). The kitchen has a stove/oven, full size sink, refrigerator, microwave, and filtered water dispenser. With outdoor seating on the deck and in the back yard around the fire pit, this tiny home offers many beautiful spots to take in the forest.
We had so much fun creating this unique home in the woods and enjoy every moment up there. Thanks for checking it out and please let us know if you have any questions about the house and/or area!

Beautiful view and a cozy little cabin
Our experience at Marfa's Mansion was delightful. The cabin was very clean and cozy, and the view from the deck was spectacular! It was so hard to leave. We will certainly stay there again. Logan, the owner, was great in her communication and hospitality.

We are on our second stay here this summer!
We are on our second stay here this summer! We are sorry we are so behind on our review... This is a peaceful, beautiful spot up in the mountains, but easy enough access that we drove our "city" car. :) Logan and Beau are wonderful hosts! We immediately felt very welcome and at home. We had everything we needed and the house was spotless. Whether we are sitting on the comfortable couch in the living area or on the porch deck, we feel like we are up in our own little private treehouse! Thank you, Logan and Beau, for an awesome getaway. We look forward to coming back (and we will be checking out your House in town as well!)

Thanks, guys! We really appreciate your support and would be happy to host you again!
If you are looking to get away from the world and are looking for peace and quiet then this is what to are looking for. We have stayed twice and plan on being regulars.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay here. It was secluded, but still close enough to anything you would need. The view was beautiful and we were lucky enough to get to watch the rain storm from the big beautiful windows.

Was super nice even let check-in early and check out late. Was really sad to leave. The directions he gave were spot on
Check was easy. We never felt so comfortable leaving was really hard. It was a piece of paradise that you just wouldn't expect to find. We will definitely be back
My husband & I loved that this was a little bit secluded. We enjoyed sitting outside, being in nature & the rain. The only problem we had was that the TV stopped working on the 2nd night.
Great stay and just what I needed. Woke up each morning with deer right by the deck, turkeys on the road and squirrels running around. The peace and quiet was perfect and just what I was looking for. Just close enough to town to run and get groceries yet just far enough away that you knew you could see the stars.
The property is off on a dirt road with no other cabins very close so you feel you have the mountain to yourself, but still close to "civilization" so it's the best of both worlds. There is a road below so you do hear the occasional side-by-side or motorcycle but sitting on the patio you mostly get to enjoy hearing the little stream down the bank and watching the deer meander through the property.
My partner and I came out to Prescott from the Bay Area in CA, and we did not expect to be in such a beautiful place! This little cottage was PERFECT. It was quiet, gorgeous and surrounded by trees! Not what one from ca expects when heading to Arizona! I’m so happy we chose Logan’s little gem in the woods.
The stay was exactly what we needed!! The cabin is very pleasant and the deck was where we wanted to spend all of our town!! We were visited by deer each morning!
We will be back!
Was a wonderful way to spend our wedding anniversary! But spring for the bigger rental car the roads to the place are dirt and we were thankful to have a rav 4!
Wonderful property and rental. Quiet, peaceful and refreshing. Could not have asked for anything more. Will book again. Thanks Logan for allowing us to stay here.
Beautiful place! We had deer, a squirrel family and lots of hummingbirds
Very well organized place. You're on top of a mountain with pine trees at reaching distance. The place was well thought of and everything you needed was there. It was fun being out on the deck early morning and later in the evening. I truly recommend this place for others. The smell of the pines and listening to the wind blowing through them at night, was very nice. The house is very nice and pleasant and the owner answered a couple of questions from us in a timely manner!
We absolutely loved our stay here!! The location is relaxing, secluded, surrounded by nature yet close enough to town. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we wanted!! It’s even more adorable in person. We especially enjoyed all the outdoor space. We will be back!!! Don’t hesitate.. book it, you won’t be disappointed.
We loved this little house/cabin up in the mountains surrounded by the forest. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The little house has everything you need. Loved sitting on the deck in the cool air. We will definitely be back!
If you are looking to getaway, this is a great place. We spent a lot of time on the patio and saw deer several times. It has a good bed and is very comfortable. Had everything we needed. The owners were careful to let us know that the cabin was 30 min from downtown Prescott, but that is exactly what we were looking for!

So quite and serene- beautiful!
We were looking for solitude and and we got it in spades! Saw deer from the deck the first afternoon. The temperatures for the whole time were perfect, and being from northern CA where we don’t get rain for 2-3 months, we got to enjoy the last 3 days of slow rain.... soooo nice! We were scoping the area out for a possible retirement spot and we were not disappointed! We loved the feeling of pride of the people and the patriotism that was visible everywhere! Was there anything we didn’t like about where we stayed and the whole area???? NOPE!!! Loved the host, Logan, and her beautiful get-a-way Marfa Mansion. P.S.... if you are 6’7” tall, expect to be a little cramped in the shower! We managed to adapt and so will you if you stay at Logan’s Marfa Mansion! Thank you, Logan❤️

About the host
Hosted by Logan Smit
We're Beau and Logan! Thanks for checking out our listing :)
The two of us met while traveling through Central America and recently returned to get hitched on a Nicaraguan beach. Since getting married, we've kept our wanderlust alive by splitting time between the beautiful National Forest in Prescott, Arizona, and a little town near Lake Arenal in Costa Rica. Traveling, English teaching, home building/renovating, and kitesurfing keep us busy and happy.
Feel free to send us a message with any questions you may have about the house! You're gonna love it!
