Great family cabin

This fit our large group really well - and we really enjoyed the ATV roads that you could find in the area. The tire swing was also a plus! We thought the price was right and enjoyed our stay very much!

Christopher Creek, Forest Lake getaway

We really enjoyed our stay and the property manager Marty was very helpful and accommodating. I thought it was closer to Christopher Creek but actually between there and Forest Lakes which was perfect! More to do and the areas beautiful!:

Spacious and Cozy

We had a wonderful stay! Spacious for a large group to sleep, eat and relax. The windows brought the outdoors in and the pellet stove kept us warm and cozy. Enjoyed the nearby hiking, Fall colors and starry skies.

A great family getaway just a short trip outside Payson.

Our family rented this large cabin for a mini reunion. It had everything we needed. Lots of beds in dorm style setting. Big living room allowed everyone to hang out and play games. Everyone enjoyed our stay!!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The property needed sweeping to get in the door.The cabinets and kitchen sinks were dirty with dead bugs on the windows sills. The clothes washer had mold so we couldn't use it. Plus, no dishwasher pods. The coffee maker also didn't work, the frying pans were all black from the gas stove. Furthermore, the rugs in the kitchen area are dangerous because the corners have curled and caused some of us to trip. One of the windows didn't have screens so we had to be very careful that my grandson not go near it. The main bathroom needs lots of caulking. I would not rent this place again. The rating of this cabin as a"9" is false advertising! I'd rate it a strong "2".I did like the spacinouses of the living room area and the TV to watch FIFA.

Relaxing Quiet Getaway in the Pines

It was a great stay at this cabin! I really liked the fact that it was about 4 miles from the highway so it was VERY quiet with no city/highway noise! The cabin is very open - so if you have kiddos, they will have space to roam around! The fire pit is a nice touch and we used it both nights! Enjoy your stay!
