Bunkhouse is an upstairs unit
-Long-term rental (rent for the summer 4-5 months) is preferred. This unit is completely furnished, and you will have the entire place to yourselves; however, there is a cabin across on the same property which may be rented to others at the same time or where the owners stay. 30 day min.
-Accommodation for toiletries, necessities, etc. are available for a few days only; like a weekend, (depending on the size of your group and how frequent the use). You will need to purchase those items for the rest of your stay.
-All reservations will be pending until a cleaning person can be committed to your reservation.
-Coffee maker is a Keurig and the toaster is for bread (not bagels).
-Parking for the bunkhouse is to the right of the garage, if blocked, park right in front of the door for this unit.
-This bunkhouse sleeps 6 guests: 2 Queen beds, 1 queen sofa bed and room for a blow up mattress.
-Please recycle. It is brought back to the valley for recycling.
-Garbage is a large container in front of garage and is picked up on Wednesdays.
-TV in living area for streaming only.
-Quiet times are 10 pm thru 7 am.
-There are 2 lockboxes: 1 key to the front garage door and inside with 1 key to the upstairs door.
-Upstairs in the bunkhouse there is an additional key to both doors on the dining table. Please leave the lockbox keys inside the lockbox to avoid being locked out and for repair people to enter when you are away (which you will be notified first prior to anyone going in)..
-Internet information is on a card by the spare key.
-Please leave all used towels on the ground and used beds unmade when departing.
-If you are bringing an animal with you, there is an additional $250 per pet fee (non-refundable) that is due after you reserve the unit through VRBO but is paid directly to owner. If not paid, it will be collected through the resolution center. (A few bad dogs ruined it for the rest.) Please account and calculate for this additional $250 if you intend to bring an animal. Please bring a kennel for your pet and have them kenneled while you are away or during the sleep hours. There is NO doggie door (or permanent fencing) so you must plan to take your pet outside regularly.
-Do not put any left-over containers into the microwave. Put food on a plate or bowl and reheat. Failure to do so will incur additional expenses through the resolution center.
-Only human waste can go to the septic tank -- no Feminine hygiene products or toilet paper can go down the drains/toilet.
-Smoking is NOT allowed inside, but smokers can smoke outside only, 25' away from the garage. Owner is extremely allergic to cigarette smoke and it's after affects.
-Heat is available if needed but must be turned off during the summer unless it is particularly cold.
-There are security cameras inside the garage and outside the unit.
-No campfires would be available during your stay in the Bunkhouse.
-This is a very peaceful, quick get-away up in the cool pines about 2+ hrs from the valley. You are surrounded by the natural beauty of the White Mountains, the Apache/Sitgreaves National Forest in a very quiet part of Forest Lakes Estates on the Mogollon Rim. There are 3 lakes close by and 4 more off road some distance away. Lots of hiking and forest to explore, fishing, Kayaking, off roading, and biking (off road) or it's great to just relax!
-There are many more activities (shopping, restaurants, hiking, walking paths, cycling, etc.) outside this area in Heber (20 miles away) or Payson (40 miles).
-Forest Lakes has 2 general stores; the General Store, located at the west end of this community, and the Rim Resort Store, located at the east end, has gas pumps. -There is only 1 restaurant in town, 260 Roadhouse Restaurant, who limits their hours so check online for their hrs of operations. There is 1 hotel in town and plenty of cabin rentals available.
