About this property

This is the place! This home is a hidden gem located 15 miles NE of Payson just under the Mogollon Rim. This place is unique as it is tucked away up in the pines just under the Mogollon Rim. You may feel as you are headed in the wrong direction while driving deep into the forest. As you pull up and open your car door, you will hear the whisper of the cool pines and the sound of the babbling creek that runs through the back yard. It is 20 degrees cooler than Phoenix. You can just relax and enjoy the creek or venture out to the nearby hiking trails where you will walk alongside streams. This is a very charming Country French three level home, perfect for families and friends. Note: We do not allow pets of any kind, no ESA animals. Many homes in our area allow pets. Choose another property for your needs.

Everything included, secluded, stream of dreams

Tucked away with a stream right off the back. Plenty of games, and equipment for the things you wanna do. Just bring your own food/drinks and enjoy. Cleanup at the end sounds complicated but it's not. Trash isn't that far away. Store is about 30min away if you forget something. Kids enjoyed ping pong, pool table, volleyball, walking through the water, toasting tiny marshmallows. Movies by the fireplace were nice and everything you need in the kitchen. My gf even baked an apple pie from scratch. Host was responsive if we needed anything or just updating them. Solid. Thanks again for hosting.

Your Shangri-La Awaits

Inside and out, Maison de Rafraîchissement, a.k.a. the RRR on EVR, is a pop-up-picture-book “oasis” of refined respite from the mundane barrage of clutter we too much endure—daily. Very far—from the madding crowd—yet near enough to a respectable commercial hub to allow for those “urgent” provisioning demands we’re so accustomed to satisfying. First timers ourselves, without hesitation, we can recommend that you indulge yourself here, to a calming spell of tranquility, if you can break away from it all—long enough—to just relax—in the comfort and style it invariably—well hosted—we can attest—affords!

Beautiful house and location!

This house was everything that was advertised and more. Very clean, and located near a lot of great hikes. The owner is very responsive. Waking up next to the creek was amazing. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Getaway!

The house was perfect with everything you could imagine or need. My wife loved sitting by the creek listening to the water. The house was perfect with the most beautiful back yard leading to the creek/river. We hiked Railroad Tunnel which was very close but a tough hike. We also did Water Wheel all the way to the falls which was also quite the hike but worth it. We were close to nature with wonderful hikes all while feeling we were living in luxury at our rental home. It was an easy 2 hour drive from our house in Phoenix to the rental house north of Payson. The owners were true professionals to work with. They made everything easy. Can’t wait till our next trip there.

About the host

Hosted by Alissa

My husband and I are both Arizona natives. I am a nurse practitioner in Scottsdale. We have two grown kids and hope to have grandkids someday. We love all of Arizona and spend most of our free time here in the mountains. It is a nice change from the valley and only 1.5 hours from our home with a very different climate and relaxing atmosphere.

Why they chose this property

We love this area. It is remote and seldom traveled by many. We have been coming up here for many years with our kids and knew we had to buy a home here. We would love to share this experience with others so they too can build lasting memories. Keep in mind this is not a log cabin. Not rustic, but very nice and well maintained.

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy that this home has central air conditioning and heat for the warm Summers and cold Winters. This home is fairly new compared to the rustic homes in the area and has all the upgrades. This charming three level home has two newer outdoor decks that overlook the creek. You will enjoy sitting out back and relaxing, while watching the kids play in the water. The home is surrounded by trees so it feels much cooler than the 20 degree difference from the Phoenix metro area.
