About this property

Very Private Horse Friendly Dog Friendly Cabin in the Pines

The cabin was completely renovated in 2011 with a strong feeling of the old west.The large stone fireplace along with propane heat keep the cabin warm and cozy. The spacious upstairs loft features queen size and full size beds. There is one single rollaway available for extra sleeping downstairs. Kids love the separate bunk house out back. Kitchen has all the features of a modern home with a dinning table and bar. Bathroom has a shower/vintage claw foot tub combo along with a washer and dryer. All towels, linens and paper products are provided. There is a covered wrap around porch that features views of Myrtle Point, gorgeous pine, juniper and oak trees. Renters can relax around the table on the porch which has plenty of room to enjoy an outside meal. A year round spring attracts wildlife with frequent viewings of elk and turkey. We encourage you to bring your horses -- the riding is fantastic in the Tonto National Forest, which is right through the back gate. There are two 12x12 clean horse pens. Water provided. Renters are responsible for their horses feed and vet supplies.
We do not allow ATVs on the property except during hunting seasons. There is a 4 adult limit.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Gino is an amazing host. The cabin was clean and the decor was lovely. Firewood was even provided! We had everything we needed and had an absolutely wonderful weekend. The area was beautiful and be sure to look up at the sky at night. I will definitely keep this property in the back of my mind when staying in the area.

A magical place! Located at the end of a road and at the edge of National Forest land, it is beautiful and quiet, a wonderful place for rest and refreshment, as well as hiking. The cabin is as cute as can be, furnished with everything we needed, and the host was available for any questions. Our dog loved it too! We've stayed there twice and hope we can go back.

This is a fantastic property and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the mountains away from busy city life. Gino was a perfect host with just the right amount of support. He was there if we needed help. He even came out to meet us on the drive in to make sure we found the property without a hitch.

We had a wonderful time staying at this isolated, beautifully restored cabin. Gino greeted us warmly by making a fire. The location was prime and our dogs enjoyed exploring the forest behind the cabin. The clawfoot bathtub was amazing. We will definitely be back!

Perfect weekend get away

Our weekend get away was great! The little cabin was perfect! Beautiful back yard with a flowing creek. National forest behind the cabin for endless hiking. We brought our 2 dogs and they got along great with The owners dog, Nigel. Cute little restaurant/bar down the road. We would defiantly stay here again.

My fiancé and I had the most perfect stay at the cabin. Gino was a spectacular host. The cabin is perfectly suited - and we had everything we needed for a comfortable and blissful stay. We even got engaged there - so needless to say we’ll be back. Thank you Gino - and thank you Nigel!!!❤️

Wonderful

Gino is an absolute rockstar when it comes with being a host as well as someone to spend time with. It was such a pleasure to get away and unplug from the daily grind of the city. The cabin is clean, quaint, beautifully tucked away in the pines which truly makes you feel connected to the environment. Thank you for everything Gino, my wife and are can’t wait to come and stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Gino Ater

Host profile image
I live next to the cabin in a log home I built in 1986. I also own the old log ranch house on the property that dates back to 1898, which I am renovating.

Why they chose this property

I bought my land in 1984 with the intent of building a vacation home. Having grown up in Tempe, my family would often come up to the Rim area for fun. After completion of my home I seemed to spend more time here and less in Tempe. In 1993 I moved here full time.

What makes this property unique

Privacy. Solitude. Wildlife. Excellent hiking and horseback riding. The views from almost any where on the property are incredible. The spring behind the cabin attracts all sorts of wildlife
