Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Prescott
PineCone is our perfect little mountain forest retreat. We purchsed it in the early 1990s and have enjoyed our weekends and vacations up there ever since. It is only 10 minutes into Prescott but seems a million miles form the hustle and bustle. The air is pristine and piney, you hear birds chirping, see squirrels frolicing and at night the skies are filled with stars you could never even imagine in the city.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
Peace and quiet foremost. Coffee, teas, sugar and some kitchen spices are stocked. Our patio has a barbeque and table/chairs and there is another 4 person relaxing area under the pines and next to the hammock. There are several National Forest trails within 5 minutes either walking or driving depending on which direction you head out. Goldwater lake with picnicking, boating and hiking is only 3 miles/5 minutes form PineCone.
