About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Privacy! One & 1/2 acre with wrap around deck. Backs the National Forest.

Looking to get away for the weekend or for a week? This 1800 sq. ft. cabin is nestled among tall Ponderosa Pines, some 100 years old! A taste of paradise is only about an hour and a half drive from Scottsdale.

The cabin is two stories, the main story being on the second
floor. There are two bedrooms upstairs, one with a queen bed
and the other with two twin beds. Upstairs there is also a
bathroom, family room and kitchen.
Downstairs there is another family room with another queen futon,
bathroom and laundry room. This is the perfect set up for two
couples or two families as it allows each some privacy. There are
two televisions and DVD players, one in the master bedroom and the
other in the downstairs family room. I have several movies you can borrow. WI-FI is also available.

The deck wraps around the entire second floor so you can
choose to sit in the sun or shade whichever you prefer. There is
a gas BBQ and a hammock you can use. The cabin has three
fireplaces; two wood and one gas. The wood ones are in the
upstairs family room and master bedroom and the gas one is in
the downstairs family room. There is a small fee for wood or you
can bring your own. Don't forget to bring marshmallows to roast!

The cabin sits on an acre and a half of land and backs the
National Forest. It is quite private and quiet. If you walk
into the forest about a quarter of a mile at dusk and you are
quiet and lucky, of course, you could see elk, particularly
in the summer and fall. I have seen up to 20 at a time! At the
very least, you are certain to hear bugling in the middle of the
night if you wake up.

I have a book there that gives you all kinds of ideas as to what
to do; hikes, fishing, swimming holes, restaurants, shops, etc.
Everything you need is there. All you need to bring is your
clothes and food.

Fairly private as it’s backed up to national forest. Spiral staircase was a challenge for our dog, but the upstairs is still very accessible through the deck stairs.

We had a wonderful stay here. We had thunderstorms most every day so that impeded our outdoor time, but were still able to enjoy some hiking and exploring. The cabin was very cozy and well stocked and equipped. We especially enjoyed seeing all the wildlife; elk, squirrels, hummingbirds and various other birds. It was a great escape from Phoenix!

We appreciated the peace and quiet of this property and the ability to hike out the back door and into the national forest. The cabin was perfect for us and our dog and toddler enjoyed the expansive deck space.

Incredible location. Quiet with lots of visiting animals like elk, squirrels, and birds. Upstairs is perfect set up for a family. Inside circular stair case is less than ideal for smaller children. Overall nice cabin with amazing location.

Enjoyed our stay immensely. A little bit of snow made it wonderful. Enjoyed watching the birds, the squirrels and feeding some elk that came through. What an experience. Crank up the fireplace and enjoy nature and the forest views. Very easy to get to but feels almost like you are in the middle of nowhere.

My wife and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. Pine is such a wonderful small town to visit. We love staying being on the forest boundary and took a hike to the nearby meadow. The cabin was clean and had all the necessary amenities. I would have liked to have an electric or stove top kettle as we drink a lot of English tea and hot drinks, but it didn't ruin the trip. We just had a pot on the stove going whenever we were around.

Towering trees surround the cabin making you feel like you are far away from civilization; but if you need a store/restaurant they are minutes away. Elk and squirrels visited every day and were fascinating to watch from the "upstairs" balcony leaving them space and keeping us at a proper distance. The wrap-around balcony lets you experience the outdoors from all angles and the views were fantastic. We would recommend this place, especially to those that want to swing among the trees in a hammock.

Our stay at Rhonda’s home was wonderful. We wanted a quiet, comfortable and peaceful few days away, and could not have been happier. Animal life surrounded us as we sat on the deck. Elk, woodpeckers, birds of all kinds, squirrels eating and playing… so enjoyable. Morning hikes , behind the house was great. Our dogs loved smelling everything. Communication with Rhonda was easy.

This is a wonderful property if you enjoy nature. The wraparound porch is amazing. You can sit and watch elk and all kinds of other animals. Such an amazing experience. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would say is a slight negative Was the spiral staircase was a little narrow and if you have any sort of disability it might be tough getting up and down, but there are other stairs on the outside as well, so shouldn’t be an issue.
