Nestled in the tall pines of Pinetop/Lakeside, Arizona you will find a quaint cozy vacation rental know as the jacksoncabin . This privately owned home in a historic landmark built in 1931. The kitchen has been completely remodeled and modernized, yet the home still has the charm of the original wood floors, antique doors and furniture, a handcrafted fireplace and more. Rainbow Lake is only 5 blocks away. In less than a minute drive or a few minutes walk you can be fishing, boating or enjoying a leisurely stroll along the waters edge and the pier to feed the ducks. jacksoncabin sits on an acre corner lot in a part of town that is quiet and serene, surrounded with tall pines, oak trees and an apple orchard. You are only minutes away form many attractions yet secluded enough to enjoy a quite relaxing barbecue on the large backyard deck. If the dates you need are not available at the jacksoncabin you can see if I have availability at my other cabin listed on VRBO. The listing number for my other cabin is property #715654.

Deer visited daily

The cabin was wonderful. We had 2 mother deer with 2 fawns each hanging out in the backyard every day. It was quiet and peaceful with plenty of room. Management was easy to deal with and very accommodating.

Responsive Owner, Interesting Place

If you’re expecting luxury, this is not the place for you, but it does have charm. There were definitely quirks: common rooms tended to be cold, bedrooms were very warm, you had to walk through sleeping spaces to get to other spaces or get to the bathroom. Fun to have a piano in the place and there were plenty of beds for7 people, and ample chairs for around the table. We did have to do some cleaning ourselves when we arrived, including washing a bedspread and retrieving empty water bottles from under the beds. We found previous tenants had stuffed plastic bags in nearly every drawer in the kitchen and left spiked pot holders (c’mon people!). There had been a snowstorm and there was no snow shovel to use on the sidewalk—had to use a dust pan. But Owner Jack was very quick to respond to questions and needs and we appreciated that. I think with a few tweaks for esthetics (throw out the dried flowers and tchotchkes, repair drawers and drawer pulls), go with a keypad entry (I was paranoid about losing the one & only key!), have bigger entry rug & place to put shoes, and including basics like plenty of toilet paper, I would rate this “good” instead of “fair.”

Cozy and private

We were here for three weeks. It felt like home. Big kitchen, two dining areas, plenty of beds, comfy living room, great heating system, easy access to stores and restaurants. This will be our go to place when we come to Show Low. Jack Wolf was very responsive to our communications. Thanks, Jackwolf1@cox.net

5 blocks for Lake but no fish

Cabin looked pretty nice on line. But the rental manager required way too many docs to be signed, stated camera on premises to check on # or people. maybe even had cameras inside rental. Check-out at 10 am with knock on door at 10am by cleaning person. Too many beds in cabin, too many rules, not a relaxing vaca we had imagined. Never again.

2 weeks in Lakeside

I enjoyed the location of the cabin. I got there right at check-in and it was clean and ready. I will say some issues I experienced. 4 of the large windows did not stay open without something to prop it open. I bought something. All doors only use a key, which when going to bed is a bit of a pain to walk around with the key to lock deadbolts (and vice versa in the morning). There are lots of old family photos and the furniture is old, old, old and cluttered. There's a twin bed in a closet where the King is, one twin bed in a laundry room, a room with a double and a twin. Very strange sleeping quarters. I actually felt like someone moved out so I could stay there. The owner lives 2 doors away and unfortunately has alzheimers and forgets its a rental. She was sweet enough after a minute or two, but she popped in and didn't know who I was, who the rental coordinator was, why I was there...just an odd interaction. The "orchard" is in very poor shape and the yard has been ignored and several plants and lawn are overgrown. All in all the location was great. But with the $ spent on the rates, they coukd easily replace all the windows and locks. It was basically my grandma's house,"charming" isn't quite the word I would use. Nice enough people, but for the money you can find better. .

Pinetop Getaway

Jackson Cottage is in a good location - convenient to many activities in Pinetop. It is an old house, built in 1932, but it has had some additions and renovations. The kitchen is fairly well equipped, and we also enjoyed using the gas BBQ out on the deck. The king bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. We didn't use all the beds, so I can't vouch for the others. The decor is like a grandmother's house in 1975, except for small flat screen TVs and unsecured wifi. The deck has tables and chairs, which we enjoyed using. We really enjoyed exploring the White Mountains with Pinetop and the Jackson Cottage as our home base.

Quaint and Charming! A bit of history to enjoy!

We so enjoyed this quaint and cozy cottage! In just a few minutes walk we were strolling by the Lake...and loved all the beautiful tall pine trees all around. It was nice to stay in a place where you don't have close neighbors...it was quiet and peaceful. Loved the 1930's doors and fireplace...nice to enjoy a bit of history! We enjoyed sitting on the back deck...just relaxing! Great getaway! The manager was very helpful and prompt with all our needs and questions. I would totally recommend this place...we will go back again!
