We took some family and friends to enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend and also help my husband with his hunt. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in this beautiful cabin adjoining the national forest. The home was stocked, and clearly marked, with everything we could imagine to make us all comfortable. We felt welcomed and relaxed immediately in this lovely home. As wildlife admirers, we truly enjoyed all the suggestions and information provided for viewing and identifying all the birds, squirrels, etc. that joined us daily in the back yard at the bird baths and feeding stations throughout the property. On our last day we even were blessed with the company for 4 female elk that fed on the hay we left for them to enjoy. We highly recommend this cabin to wildlife lovers and anyone wanting to escape the valley heat. We hope to visit Elk in the Pines again someday.

My family had a wonderful time staying at Elk In The Pines Retreat, the house is extremely well maintained and had all of he comforts of home and then some. My family was able to travel just a short jaunt from the home on our ATV's and were soon exploring many miles of forest roads. This is truly a place you'll want to try and I'm sure you won't be dissapointed. My family will surely go back for a longer vacation, hopefully in the very near future.

Elk in the Pines has EVERYTHING you will need for a short or long stay. Especially memorable is the birdlife from the back porch

We visited elk in the pines for the second time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The location of the house is great, with nothing but pine trees behind it. It was very clean, as it was the first time we visited. We would definitley recommend this place and have every intention of visiting again next summer!

Every year our extended family rents a cabin in the mountains and we spend a week. This was by far the best cabin we have ever rented. Everything was included. The cabin is beautiful and very practical. Because of the tile we didn't have to worry about the kids or dogs tracking stuff on the carpets. The cabin is beautifully decorated and very family friendly. The hiking, fishing and porch sitting were great. We hope to come back next year for our vacation. Thank you so much David & Mary for helping make our vacation so memorable. The Bullington & Motley Families from Tucson and Chandler, AZ Thanks again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cabin.

We stayed at Elk in the Pines fom 6/16 to 6/23/11. We found the Cabin to be located in a beautiful setting that backs to the Coconino Forest. This affords easy access to many trails in the forest for hiking or ATV riding. By its location, the property provides those uncommon chances to see elk, deer, various species of birds, coyotes, etc. One of the finest features of where this cabin is located is the absolutely breathtaking views of the skies at night. The stars are particularly vivid here. The cabin has all the amenities for a comfortable stay and then some. I believe the owners have thought of every eventuality and every form of entertainment. Also, Mary and David (the owners), are helpful, gracious, and easy to reach with questions or problems. Another BIG plus with this rental is the fact that dogs are allowed and what's a vacation without one's furry sidekicks.

Owner response:Elk In The Pines Retreat is great for your getaway to the high country sitting right on the Coconino National Forest and provides all the comforts of home. Visit Soon!!

By kfleener (Peoria, AZ) My family and friends stayed at Elk in the Pines for a weekend. The cabin is not only breath-taking, but the amenities are vast. We weren't in need of anything. It was such a relaxing weekend...spending it in comfort with family, friends, and nature. Four small children traveled with us, with no difficulty. The toddlers were able to be enclosed on the spacious patio while we enjoyed the view of the forest. The infants had plenty of room for pack 'n' plays and floor toys. Even our pets had a great time. Our only wish was that the weekend didn't end. If you're looking for a great weekend, go to Elk in the Pines. The owners were very gracious
