The cabin was great, big bedrooms, the beds were very comfortable, porch with a view of the pond. It was great having dinner out on the porch. The weather was fantastic. It has a big fenced in yard for kids & dogs if allowed. First place we have ever stayed at, where the water was actually hot. Went with my mother & sisters , everyone had a great time, didn't want to leave, hope to return to the cabin soon. Thank you, Kathy

My girlfriends and I celebrated my birthday with a ski trip to Sunrise and we had a wonderful stay at this cabin for 3 nights. The kitchen had everything we might need and the fire was so wonderful to sit next to in the evenings. Kathy was so accommodating and a breeze to work with. We would recommend this place to our friends!

The cabin was warm, cozy and sooooooo enjoyable. It had all the comforts of home. We spent hours sitting on the deck overlooking the pond. So relaxing. We plan on renting this property again.

Our family and friends decided last minute to spend a few days in the high country over Spring Break. Looking for a place to accomodate all 10 of us and at last minute notice was not easy but Ten Bears Cabin just what we needed. They were quick to respond and willing to accomodate. The cabin was perfect for our needs. We lacked nothing and it was a great home away from home. We look forward to enjoying this cabin again. Thanks so much for everything!

Our stay at Ten Bears Cabin was great! The cabin is very well equipment and it is surprisingly roomy and cozy, it was perfect for our families with small children. Our dogs and kids really enjoyed the fenced backyard with the nice view of the lake. This cabin has everything you need. The kitchen had all the cooking utensils we needed and more. All the bedrooms are very comfortable and we really liked the decor. The cabin is in great condition and very clean! This was a very memorable trip for us and we can't wait to do it all over again this summer :-)

Our winter get-away

Guest: Desert Rats (Tucson, AZ.)
Date of Stay: 12/19/10 Review Submitted: 12/26/10

My family had an excellent time staying at your cabin. Our young children (7 and 4) loved discovering all the cabin "touches" that gave it a cabin feel such as the bear decorations, fishing motifs, moose pics, etc. It was so different from our desert home that it was a nice break from our routine. Our stay was comfortable and it had everything we needed and was very cozy. While we missed seeing much snow while we were there, we did find a hiking trail where the locals were sledding with enough snow to make it fun for our kids. The pond next to the cabin was fun to explore, complete with ducks. There are some cabins nearer to the house than we expected, but the residential street is very quiet and you still feel like the cabin is an oasis from town. Thank you for your generosity in opening up your home to us and being so great to work with!

Summer Cool Pines Relaxation

Guest: No Baloney (Tempe, AZ)
Date of Stay: 07/25/10 Review Submitted: 08/04/10

We escaped the heat of The Valley to stay in Ten Bears with our two teen aged kids for seven nights. We especially enjoyed the deck where we could relax with our coffee in the morning. Each night we grilled delicious meals on the gas grill and ate outside under romantic tiki-torches on the porch rail. Afternoon Monsoon rains often forced us inside where we were just as happy. There is a great dining room table where we enjoyed playing games together as a family. If you go, bring dog with you! Although we did tire of the dog being wet (between the rain and swamp spots from pond spillover), our dog had a great time romping in the fenced yard. The cabin isn’t as remote as we expected, but we spent most days hiking on nearby trails. The pictures don't lie; this is a beautiful home away from home. The rooms are decorated so sweetly. The cabin is clean and well stocked. Lots of towels, beautiful linens and plenty of pots & pans and dishes. The owner was terrific to work with. I’d recommend you visit this special locale. I bet it’s beautiful in winter… Thank you, Kathy!

Owner response:I appreciate all the comments from past guests. I just want to clarify our location: Our cabin is located within the city limits of Pinetop-Lakeside and not in a remote location in the woods. We have easy year-round access on paved roads and the conveniences of cable TV and natural gas. We are located near other cabins (most on half acre or acre lots) and a fishing pond. We are not on the main highway, but easily accessible - and no need for four-wheel drive!

What a lovely weekend we just had. The deck on the back of the house gave us great views of the pond and was a perfect place to while away a few hours with a good book. The cabin is lovely and spacious and clean!!! This isn't our first time we've stayed here and it won't be our last either.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Ten Bears Cabin. We were so happy to be able to bring our dog with us and he really enjoyed exploring the fenced backyard. We had everything we needed in the cabin. The king size bed in the upstairs bedroom was SO comfortable! We really appreciated the air conditioner to cool down the upstairs when it got a little warm in the afternoon. The deck is wonderful for drinking coffee in the cool morning in the sun and then have a cool drink in the shade in the afternoon. The cabin is close to shopping, restaurants, and antiquing and close to Show Low Lake and Woodland Lake. Thanks Kathy for making your cabin available!

We have stayed at this cabin before and really enjoy it. The cabin has everything we need for a weekend of skiing or a weekend of getting out of the heat. The cabin is cozy but has enough room and rooms for everyone to have a bit of peace and quiet. The deck on the back is very nice.

Our family of six just spent an amazing Easter weekend in Pinetop. But what made our trip so amazing was our accommodations! We stayed this this wonderful cabin and felt like it was ours. They had everything we needed and our children were in heaven with the yard, toys on site, and the movie selection available to them. The restaurant were close by and we enjoyed our Easter mass at a Catholic Church that was only 10 minutes away... We plan to do another trip to Pinetop soon and we will without a doubt rent this cabin AGAIN!

Ten Bears Cabin was the perfect weekend getaway! Pinetop felt like worlds away from the Phoenician desert but was a scenic three hour drive. The cabin had a beautiful backyard with a lake view and was extremely comfortable inside. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies so we were able to cook and enjoyed the fireplace with the snow outside. We look forward to returning and recommend it to others! Thank you!

This was our second stay at TenBears between Christmas and New Years. The cabin was comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed 4 days of snowmobiling and sledding while there. Always nice to come home to a warm and comfy cabin with all the features of home at the end of a busy, cold day. After all the kids went to bed it was nice to hang out and play board games together by the fire! Thank you Kathy!

We stayed for 5 days at the cabin. Loved having a huge back yard to throw the ball for our dog. Loved the big back porch and enjoyed the cooler weather. We were able to take many days trips and return to the cabin for dinner. Enjoyed walking through the neighborhood and having the convenience of downtown Show Low. Ran out of time for smores! Can't wait to come back for another visit.

We just got back from our long Columbus Day Weekend getaway. It was the perfect layout for our family. My 7 year old had that King sized bed to herself—she loved it! We had the best family time around the fire pit making smores on Sunday night. Also caught the last day of the season to ride the go-carts at the Family Fun Center. Great location and well-equipped comfortable cabin.

Spectacular! This was our second time staying at Ten Bears Cabin. We remembered it just the same as last time. The cabin was cozy, clean and well stocked with things you wouldn't even think of! Kathy, you did a wonderful job! The weather was perfect and all though it rained almost every day it was only for an hour or two. We made good use of the grill as that is not always an option for us in phoenix. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cabin with us and we look forward to staying again soon!

I know we had the perfect little weekend because we didn't want to go home. From the fenced in back yard for the dogs to play, to the fireplace in the family room to dry out our ski gear, top to bottom, the cabin was great. It was me my girlfriend and our dogs, we will definitely be back with the rest of the family. Thanks So Much-

Our family of 9 plus 2 dogs spent a wonderful Thanksgiving at 10 Bears and hope to do it again. It was the first time we had ever done a big family "sleep over" and we all had a great time. I was amazed at all the spices and extras that were there. We had a 2 year old and the baby gate was a great help and so unexpected. The beds were all very comfortable and we all had plenty of towels, too. It was great to have the fenced yard for the dogs and was one reason we chose 10 Bears. It was snowing when we arrived, so the grandkids had fun building a snowman the first day!

Ditto to my mom. We had a big weekend with a traditional family dinner to do, so we brought everything but our kitchen sink, and with all of that, we were still all comfortable throughout the weekend. The dogs LOVED the room to roam in the back yard and happily 'chatted' with the neighbor dogs every chance they got. The place is awesome; thanks for a great holiday weekend and we'll do it again, most certainly!

We really enjoyed our short (2 night) stay and plan on returning soon for a longer one. Everything was so comfortable, felt like I was in a good friend's home. Button, our mini-dachshund enjoyed the fenced yard. Thank you, Kathy for everything! We will be back! (also the offer to move us since you saw there was construction next door was really nice, but unnecessary, inside the cabin we could barely hear them and it did not impact our stay at all)
