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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The cabin and property are lovely. If you're looking for privacy and quiet and a place to enjoy nature, this is it. We saw elk from the deck every day. The Pine Trailhead and restaurants are a mile away and Tonto Natural Bridge is a 10 minute drive. We've stayed in a lot of rentals and this was one of the best.
We had the best time at this cabin. It was perfect for our family and had everything we needed for our stay. It's location next to the national forest is a high plus! Our kids and puppy had so much fun playing and exploring while we watched comfortably from lawn chairs.
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.
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.

Wonderful place, loved seeing all the wildlife, elk, deer, gray fox, squirrels, woodpeckers and hiking trails from the yard. Will stay again.
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!
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.
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!
