Host profile image

I love creating special memories for others and The Tonto House allows me to do just that. Being a avid outdoorsman, I love fishing and boating on Roosevelt Lake and enjoying the many off road trails Tonto Basin has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This property (you are looking at) is the perfect location for all things adventure. Places to stay are so limited that I saw the need for a rental property that would be close to all the fun things to do here and also provide a restfull home to relax and enjoy after a day of sports and adventure for singles and family alike.

What makes this property unique

The Tonto House boarders the National Forest yet is minutes away from the market, hardware store and restaurants. The Tonto House is in the very center of adventure. To the south there's Roosevelt Lake (10.5 miles) with boating, fishing, skiing, swimming, sailing and personal water craft sports. To the West there is four Peaks Wilderness with hiking, mountain climbing, rock hounding, hunting and off road trails to explore. To the North is the Mazatzal mountains offering more adventure. To the East of Tonto Basin more adventure awaits in the Ancha Wilderness offering hiking, off road trails and trout fishing in Salome Creek. Don't forget to visit the Tonto National Monument and take the tour of cliff dwellings of the Salado Indian people.

After a day of fun... relax on the patio with your favorite beverage, start the Bar b Que and lite the fire pit feature. Get the gang together for a game of Horse Shoes or Bean Bag in the Hole and see who is lucky tonight. Some one may put out a challenge to a game of billiards and watch your favorite show the big screen. For those who want less excitement you can always retreat to the Tonto Lounge with comfortable seating and a big screen TV. What ever you mood, the Tonto House will accommodate you.
