Privacy! One & 1/2 acre with wrap around deck. Backs the National Forest.
Looking to get away for the weekend or for a week? This 1800 sq. ft. cabin is nestled among tall Ponderosa Pines, some 100 years old! A taste of paradise is only about an hour and a half drive from Scottsdale.
The cabin is two stories, the main story being on the second floor. There are two bedrooms upstairs, one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds. Upstairs there is also a bathroom, family room and kitchen. Downstairs there is another family room with another queen futon, bathroom and laundry room. This is the perfect set up for two couples or two families as it allows each some privacy. There are two televisions and DVD players, one in the master bedroom and the other in the downstairs family room. I have several movies you can borrow. WI-FI is also available.
The deck wraps around the entire second floor so you can choose to sit in the sun or shade whichever you prefer. There is a gas BBQ and a hammock you can use. The cabin has three fireplaces; two wood and one gas. The wood ones are in the upstairs family room and master bedroom and the gas one is in the downstairs family room. There is a small fee for wood or you can bring your own. Don't forget to bring marshmallows to roast!
The cabin sits on an acre and a half of land and backs the National Forest. It is quite private and quiet. If you walk into the forest about a quarter of a mile at dusk and you are quiet and lucky, of course, you could see elk, particularly in the summer and fall. I have seen up to 20 at a time! At the very least, you are certain to hear bugling in the middle of the night if you wake up.
I have a book there that gives you all kinds of ideas as to what to do; hikes, fishing, swimming holes, restaurants, shops, etc. Everything you need is there. All you need to bring is your clothes and food.

Great location. We loved seeing all the wildlife right on the property. Comfortable with lots of room and felt like being in the middle of no where (in a good way).
Lovely cabin in a great location. Loved the wrap around balcony. We enjoyed the wildlife and being surrounded by pines trees. Quiet and relaxing. Wish we were there now.
Overall a great stay! A few little issue popped up, but the cabin was comfortable, the forest was beautiful, and the daily visit by a small herd of Elk was awesome!
Enjoyed our stay. The wildlife were very entertaining, and we appreciated the firewood and squirrel peanuts. There was a good feeling of privacy on the wraparound deck. We did groan with the stairs up to the deck and the spiral staircase, but that's just us (in our 80's). Would suggest a coffee table in the living room next to the kitchen - need a place to set down drinks while enjoying the fireplace. Overall, a great getaway.
We had a great stay at the cabin! It was cute and cozy with all the amenities needed. We appreciated that there was no tv in the living room (only the bedroom) so we could cozy by the fire at night and enjoy each other's company. The wrap-around porch and view of the forest was our favorite. We hopped over the fence and took a nice stroll in the forest. I loved feeding the squirrels and birds from the deck and seeing deer and elk in the yard! It was also a quick 5 minute drive to restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again!
Nestled in the pine trees made it very private.Centrally located between Strawberry and Payson and close to Pine.The deck around the house on the second floor was an A. Sitting on the deck in the mornings and evenings was wonderful! The deck also kept the dogs safe from running around the grounds down below. Nice stay.
The listing states that this is a 3 bedroom. The third bedroom is really a downstairs living room. Since we traveled as 3 couples this did not provide the expected privacy of a bedroom. Knowing this would have changed my decision to rent. Additionally, the cost exceeded the value.

I looked at my listing and in the narrative description it clearly states that there is a queen futon downstairs in the family room. It also mentions that there is a bathroom downstairs allowing for extra privacy for another couple. You are correct though, that the website did pull that bed information and called it a third bedroom. I have fixed it.
Really enjoyed this place. The elk and deer were in abundance, the wrap around deck is perfect for relaxation. The host took care to make sure this was a great stay.
Great property, amazing views and wildlife within walking distance. Awesome communication, couldn’t be easier to check in. We will definitely stay again in the future!

Wonderful place, loved seeing all the wildlife, elk, deer, gray fox, squirrels, woodpeckers and hiking trails from the yard. Will stay again.
Absolutely wonderful trip. This place is exactly as advertised. Quiet, private, and on the edge of the forest with wildlife galore. Had an awesome time.
Fairly private as it’s backed up to national forest. Spiral staircase was a challenge for our dog, but the upstairs is still very accessible through the deck stairs.
I loved this property, the cabin had everything we needed, but we really went for the land and it didn't let us down. The space around the house is very nice and secluded, there was a herd of Elk that would come by daily, they were very calm and not scared of us as long as we kept a respectful distance. We had dogs with us, they loved the wrap around deck, they had a great time playing in all the open space, we went across the fence into the forest and went exploring there, it was nice easy hiking that the dogs loved as well. If your dogs have long hair, you may want to put on booties, there are the round pickers that will get in their hair.
We had a wonderful stay here. We had thunderstorms most every day so that impeded our outdoor time, but were still able to enjoy some hiking and exploring. The cabin was very cozy and well stocked and equipped. We especially enjoyed seeing all the wildlife; elk, squirrels, hummingbirds and various other birds. It was a great escape from Phoenix!

About the host
Hosted by Rhonda Buck
Stoney Hollow is my favorite place in the world. There is just something special about being there. It might be the tall pines and listening to the wind in the trees, or backing the National Forest, or feeding the squirrels, woodpeckers, hummingbirds or deer. I just know that I need to get away there every so often to rejuvenate. When you stay at Stoney Hollow you will realize that you are staying in my home and not a hotel. It is friendly, rustic and inviting. Welcome and enjoy!
