About this property

Charming Cottage with Great Views

The Spanish Jewel, resting high atop a hill overlooking Green Valley Park & Lake with panoramic views of the town and the distant mountains, is a step back in time, a serene place specifically designed for you to relax, to unplug, and to unwind. More a charming cottage than cabin, this jewel on the mount is beckoning you to visit and to create moments and memories to last a lifetime. A bit quirky, a bit luxe, The Spanish Jewel really is a magical space just waiting to put a spell on you.

The Spanish Jewel was meticulously constructed over fifty years ago by a local artisan/craftsman using many antique pieces and architectural salvage items. Over the last two years the property has experienced a comprehensive 'sprucing' of its original details. This 'sprucing' coupled with the detailed addition of new amenities has been successful in achieving today's standards of Mountain Luxe. The Jewel has a large Living Room w/a window wall overlooking the mountains, a remote-controlled propane fireplace, 40" flatscreen w/cable & internet. There is a lovely updated eat-in Kitchen, Laundry Room, one bedroom on the main floor, and a bedroom in the cozy 'crow's nest' loft. The bath has a shower w/spa showerhead, sumptuous fluffy hotel-grade towels, & complimentary body wash, shampoo, & conditioner. The Main Bedroom offers an upholstered Queen bed w/new 'Beautyrest Black' luxury hybrid mattress, dual control heated mattress pad, infrared electric fireplace, & exit to a charming flagstone terrace with a propane firepit and vistas of the town below and the Mazatzal Mountains beyond.

Some of the original Spanish influences include heavy hand-hewn wood doors, beveled glass doors, wrought iron fixtures, stained glass, original Saltillo floors & rustic log beam(ed) ceilings, & a sink vanity set in an old hand-carved Spanish desk. Some of the modern amenities include the new propane log stove for chilly evenings, a reimagined fully equipped kitchen w/vintage hand-carved cabinetry, a cooking island, leather-look Quartzite counters, GE Profile appliances, Keurig hot/cold brew coffeemaker, toaster, blender, & all the pots & pans, dinnerware, glassware, & flatware you will need.

Even with all the modern conveniences, The Spanish Jewel is a step back in time.

Charming Jewel
First, property manager George was very responsive. The house had everything you could want. The house is within walking distance of Green Valley park and a short drive to city center. My wife loved the house and said it was one of the coolest places she has stayed. Nice view off the rear deck with a western view of the mountains. Furnishings were very nice and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked . If we return to Payson we will definitely stay here.

Cozy, comfortable, quiet, clean, meticulously decorated and appointed. We’ve stayed at many places in recent years and this is a favorite, for sure. Gas log fireplace! Outdoor fireplace!

About the host

Hosted by George

Host profile image
An East Coast transplant enjoying over two decades living in Arzona! The Spanish Jewel was acquired with the intent to 'get away' from time to time from a busy life in the Valley. The more time spent there, the more the realization became that it is a magical place and needs to be shared with others. My mission is to provide my guests the same comforts and level of service that I enjoy when I travel. A favorite note from one of my guests upon arrival... "Hi George, I just wanted to let you know that your place is just magical! One of the best airbnbs I have stayed in. I just wanted to thank you for offering such an awesome place!" Your privacy is important to me. While not on-site I am only a telephone call away. See you soon!

What makes this property unique

A scenic drive from the Valley yet a world away. Close to Green Valley Park and Lake, hiking, and the restaurants and shops on historic Main Street.
