    This house was absolutely breath-taking! We enjoyed the beautiful lake views and the immaculate condition of the home. The owners definitely take great care of this vacation home. Our family goes to the PineTop area every winter to allow our children to play in the snow, and we would absolutely choose this home again. Aside from it all, the owner was as sweet as pie and even called to check on us upon our arrival. Great place to rent! The Hudson and Cotton Family.

    You will not be disappointed in this beautiful home. We went up with two other couples that I didn't show pictures of the home. One of my friends cried with excitement, the home was so lovely. Bring only your toothbrush and your clothes. The home is filled with everything you need to prepare a wonderful meal, all the pots, pans, blender, utensils you can dream. It was such a comfortable home, with every couple having plenty of room in their private bedroom with private bath. Beautiful lake view and we were lucky enough to enjoy the first snow of the season. We had such a wonderful time we will defiantly book this home again. Well worth every penny. Thank you again for the most relaxing weekend.

    This beautiful home was everything the owners described plus more. It was in a quiet area with limited access to the general public. The well landscaped yard was wonderful for strolling, with fruit trees and gardens, and the pines in the area made for a peaceful setting. The circular driveway was handy for manuevering our vehicles. The home was luxurious. We spent each morning with our coffee looking out over the lake. The large dining room was well used for many different activities: playing games; watching wildlife; preparing meals, etc. We delighted in sitting on the porch and on the bench on the private dock many times during our stay. Use of the kayaks was wonderful as well. The owner went well above and beyond in emailing and sending additional pictures as we had a handicapped member of the family with special mobility needs. This place is one that our family would definitely love to stay again.

    Beautiful house in idyllic setting. Room for everyone. Two masters (one up, one down), each with patio/balconey overlooking the dock and lake. Nice entertainment system. Big kitchen. Private dock. We kayaked a lot! My wife and I woke up each morning to a beautiful scene out our French doors: ducks and geese on the lake, giant pines, the sun providing that magical warm morning light, perfect for photography. The location is very close to White Mountain Highway, but you'll never hear traffic. Antique stores are nearby and you're only about 10 minutes from the casino. Really beautiful. The owners were exceedingly gracious and easy to work with. We really hated to leave. You will, too, but you'll be awfully glad you went!

    Spent the week away from the valley heat in this idyllic place. Beautiful setting, rain every afternoon, kayaking, fishing, board games, what's not to love. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation.

    Every year, my family gets together for a summer and this was the first year we stayed at this house. The house is up-to-date and has access to the lake right out the back door. There were plenty of kayaks and a canoe for the family. The best part was sitting on the dock drinking coffee in the morning and watching the bird fly over the water and the three owls in the tree next to the dock. This is the house we would like to stay at again.

    Our family of seven spent a wonderful six days beside Rainbow Lake. The house is so comfortable, well-maintained and beautifully decorated. We loved going out in the kayaks, fishing off the dock or just sitting on the deck watching the beautiful environment. We saw foxes, osprey, ducks with their ducklings, fish jumping---what a peaceful and charming home. Even though it was in the mid-90's during the day (3 days of heat)(which I believe is unusual), it cooled off in the evenings to the point we needed blankets! Nirvana. There are good restaurants (Charlie Clark's was delish!), shopping and movies within 15 minutes of the house. We went to the Farmer's Market in Show Low, Art in the Orchard (an arts and crafts festival) in Pinetop...there is always something going on. On the practical side: the kitchen was great, having FOUR bathrooms was as good as it gets and Louise so easy to work with. We would have stayed longer if time was available.

  • Triplet ducklings

    My family stayed at this home for a week in June. My two daughters and sons in law, my three year old triplet grandchildren, (two boys and a girl) my nine month old granddaughter,a friend and my 101 year old mother, yes you read that right. So we had every age covered. First, the home is beautiful ( or I should say "pretty", because when we went out shopping, my granddaughter would say, "can we go back to the pretty house now?")and spacious to give all of us enough room. The upstairs master suite was especially nice. The spot on the lake is perfect. My mother was very reluctant to take the five hour trip from Tucson but she was a trouper. She especially loved sitting on the front porch. She has trouble hearing and seeing but she was out there every day with her cup of tea and english muffin. She knits dishcloths and spent time doing that. It was wonderful for all of us to be together there. She said the night before we left, "I am going to live another year so I can come back here next summer". That was quite telling of her time there. There were so many things to keep us busy as well as relaxing. The first morning we were there we went down on the dock and there to great us were a momma duck and her three ducklings. It was perfect, the triplets named them after themselves. So that was how each day began, by going to the dock and feeding the triplet ducklings. We watched them grow a bit as the week went on because without fail they were there every morning. The triplets were outfitted with their own mini fishing poles, which we were all thrilled that they ALL actually caught a fish. And they immediately wanted them back in the lake. We rented a row boat with a small motor and took all the kids for rides. We also took them in the kayaks. My friend and I paddled around the lake every morning with our camera and got some great pictures. We played some tennis, took hikes on the hiking trails, took walks around the lake home, had a fire in the fire pit at night and had a wonderful time on the large front porch. We all spent a lot of time there. We had perfect weather. Our last night was special, we were treated with a wonderful thunderstorm and we all sat on the porch to watch. If anyone is looking to have an experience like ours, then this is the perfect place. Thank you Louise for sharing your home.

    Everything you go to Pinetop to enjoy is at your fingertips in this luxurious waterfront property in a gated community. There are two master suites with whirlpool tubs and panoramic views of the lake, a gourmet kitchen and every creature comfort you would want. We have stayed in several cabin/homes in the area but this one sets the standard. If you are looking for mountain luxury, peace and serenity look no further. We just returned from a wonderful week long stay and look forward to returning.

    Myself and my husband, our grown son and 3 grandsons ages 11,9 and 7 all had a fantastic time. The house was just as fabulous as the pictures show and just as comfortable as you would imagine. The kids had a great time fishing (catching over 40 fish, 3 keepers) which made for more relaxation time for the adults which is always enjoyed. Besides fishing we were able to get out on the lake on the kayaks which were provided. That was a great way to enjoy the lake. And probably the next best way to relax was on the deck enjoying the nice glass of wine. Thanks for your hospitality; we hope to return very soon.

    Amazingly beautiful lakefront home! Classy, comfortable furnishings. Large, cozy living room with fireplace and bigscreen TV for relaxing. Large dining room to fit all of us. Our family of 5 spent a week here with my parents. They had the upstairs master area to themselves. Kids loved the week-long slumber party in the bunkbeds. I was thrilled to have a jacuzzi tub in the downstairs master, and to wake up to views of the frozen lake out the large windows. Close to sledding and skiing. Quiet neighborhood to go for walks and see wildlife. Owners accessible and helpful. Thank you for a very nice vacation, one we will all remember fondly.

    This is a simply gorgeous home on a lovely lake. I can't say enough about how perfect our stay was. The home was everything we could possibly need or want. The lake was breathtaking. We watched bald eagles everyday. The night sky was beautiful. It is a perfect home for families, with 4 large bedrooms and 4 very well appointed bathrooms. We plan to make this getaway a family tradition.

    Our family spent Thanksgiving together at this amazing property located right on Rainbow Lake. The house was decorated perfectly with lots of space for the family. Almost every room has wonderful views of the lake and is great for sunset/sunrise viewing. The homeowners have taken extra steps to create a very warm and comfortable environment to make you feel like you're at home from the second you walk in the door. Our whole family spent our Thanksgiving dinner at a huge dinner table that overlooks the lake... what a great place to have our Turkey dinner! We also had an opportunity to take the kayaks out on the lake, which was great and even had bald eagles flying right above us. There is a wonderful living room with a big fireplace and a huge flat screen TV, which is great for everyone to gather around at night. Also, if the weather permits, there is a nice fire-pit in the backyard right on the lake. Wether you're coming out for a family vacation or a romantic getaway, we strongly recommend it and we definitely will be coming back! Thanks again to the homeowners for letting us stay in your home with a Thanksgiving we'll always remember!!
