“The cabin was a perfect size for my family of 4 with plenty of space. The location was wonderful - close enough to town, but far enough away for peace and quiet. A lovely creek was in walking distance where we could see a good amount of wildlife. We would love to visit again!”

Spring break escape

Our family enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin, the neighborhood was quiet and delightful. Location is beautiful and close proximity to many activities, we enjoyed our time at the Lake, hiking Tonto National Bridge, and of course playing in the snow.

Thank you for your open and honest review. We take great pride in providing warm and friendly accomodations for all of our guests. The Beaver Valley community our cabin is nestled within, is a hidden Payson area gem, near plentious hiking, fishing and off road experiences within a stones throw. We welcome one and all :)

Nice little neighborhood with some views. Cool trees and a creek/river nearby. Close enough to town and yet removed from it. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The bed in the loft was very comfortable (unlike some vrbos) so I really appreciated that. Nice place ! The pics are from a walk I did around the neighborhood.

Nice little cabin in the woods.

The cabin was clean and in good condition. We had a fun time staying there and didn't run into any problems. The hosts had all the check-in and check-out instructions lined out in an email and in a binder at the cabin. Super easy process. We would stay again.

Great GEM in Payson

This cabin was perfect for our stay. It had everything we needed and more and the area was quiet and beautiful. It is located so close to Water Wheel and so many other great hiking locations. Communication with our hosts was fast and easy and they whole stay was stress free and enjoyable. We will definitely be looking at this place again for our Payson trips.

Quiet Family Retreat

The property is quaint and well maintained. It had a cozy vibe that is far enough away but not too far away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. We enjoyed exploring the nearby river and a small campfire in the provided fire pit. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with the common utilities needed to make meals.

Cozy cabin in quiet neighborhood

We loved this cabin! It was in a quiet neighborhood outside of Payson, perfect jumping off point to explore the area. It was clear that the owners really seem to love the cabin and use it themselves -- not just investor managers who never set foot inside. Our first night we walked down to the river, and saw elk walking around the neighborhood.

Charming A-Frame away from it all.

Visited with my wife and 2 adult sons. Quaint, yet no shortage of room. The property's kitchen is very functional and the grill provided was very nice. One minor complaint would be the A/C situation, but following the hosts instructions everyone slept comfortably.

Sleepy Hollow's Nut House

Cute, cozy, and comfy house. We all loved the convenience of having a well-supplied kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave, stove, and a nice sized fridge. The community was small and quaint but close to a creek, hiking trails, and campsites. Beautiful scenic drive on dirt road in the mountain area was awesome. The girls want to come back when there is snow. Loved our stay.

Great area

There is lots of wildlife. Water wheel was a nice hike the area is beautiful and green. Just far enough off the highway to be quiet and not to far away to be a long drive to town. The fenced in yard is great for parking the vehicle. We enjoyed all the board games available for when we were at the house. The kitchen is nice and spacious. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the house as we had planned out our days prior to arrival but would definitely stay again

Really Enjoyed our Stay

What a great time we had. The property is very nice and well equipped and maintained, with everything we needed. Sitting on the front deck looking at the stars was our evening past time! Was easy to get to, and check in was extremely smooth and quick. Communication with the owner was excellent, and he was very responsive and helpful to us! Although located in a neighborhood, it was really quiet, and lots of places to hike and walk. We must comment on how nice the queen size bed was and we achieved three nights of wonderful sleep. Thank you for providing us with a perfect place to celebrate our recent retirement.

Nice spot!

Was a great cabin…only issue we had was the air conditioning….we were hoping to have a place to keep cool during the summer day but the ac was only in the living room…all the bedrooms were quit hot until about 9-10pm. Our master upstairs was about 91 until the sun went down.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Jun 2022
I am sorry to hear that your experience with the AC was problematic. In our listing we mention that the Master bedroom is upstairs in an A-Frame cabin. We do have specific instructions written on a placard outside the Master Bedroom door on how to manage the heat (which is very manageable if followed precisely). The window in the room has an automatic exhaust fan to blow the heat outside and a ceiling fan as well (as do all of the rooms). We also provide 4 floor fans for placing in strategic locations if needed. In three years of hosting we have never had a complaint about the AC during the summer. The AC is oversized for the size of the cabin and keeps everything downstairs at 72 degrees, even when it is 95 outside. The day of arrival is unique in that arrival is in the afternoon. That is my we always message our guests to let us know when the leave the valley so we can pre-cool the cabin. Unfortunately we did not receive a text from you or we would have done so. We also moved the check-in time up to 3pm for this purpose as well. You stayed only one day as you messaged us that you "needed to get back to the Valley" for unstated reasons. If you had stayed the full three days you would have noticed that the temperature was more than manageable during the remainder of your trip. Sorry for your short stay experience. We would like to assure all future Guests that the cabin is not a hot box :)
