Location: Payson, Main Arizona (excludes Phoenix, Tucson & South AZ), Arizona, USA
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5+ Baths (Sleeps 4-5)
Enjoy the quiet elegance of this creekside home nestled among trees, woods, and stream in the hamlet of Christopher Creek. This special retreat is in the mountains 20 miles east of Payson, directly below the stunning Mogollon Rim vista. Less than a mile from the highway, the home is easy to access in all seasons, yet still perfect for those who enjoy quiet, wildlife, and beauty all around them. The hiking and fishing are outstanding in this forested area abounding with lakes, streams, and magnificent mountain views. Or you can enjoy the amenities of nearby Payson, with its antiques, museums, restaurants and shopping.
The home’s large back deck is directly next to the stream, making it a delightful area for eating, relaxing, and wildlife viewing, with many squirrels and birds lending their chatter to the burbling creek sounds. From here you can walk the creek, catch crawdads or go down to the fishing hole. Or simply rejuvenate yourself at this refreshing retreat and restore your spirit among the trees and sparkling water.
Inside the home awaits another kind of beauty: understated refinement rare to find in a mountain hideaway. The 1900 SF home has two master bedroom suites with private dressing areas and bathrooms, each with patio doors adjoining the 80 foot deck. There is a third central bathroom with shower for guests, next to the laundry and pantry. Cozy, private enough for two, yet able to sleep five, the home is large enough to entertain even more if desired.
*** Angler’s dream – Fish nearby Canyon Creek, best loved stream of Zane Grey, or other well stocked lakes within 30 min. distance.

Your very nice property with all necessary accommodations produced an excellent week away from work! The layout of the house and the large deck are excellent for one couple or two. The sounds of the creek and birds were a welcome relief from the hectic city pace, plus the clear sky and fresh air were an added benefit. We look forward to another visit soon!

Not only is the location very beautiful, but so is the house and it's comfortable as well. There were four of us as well as our two dogs and it was plenty roomy. The deck is huge and sitting out there listening to the creek was so peaceful and relaxing. Our dogs loved chasing the squirrels back up the trees. We will be back soon to this wonderful country getaway. Thanks Anita. Dave and Donna
