About this property

Head up to our creek cabin!

Nested in the trees, on Christopher Creek, enjoy the opportunity to leave your troubles behind in comfortable summer temperatures. Create memories with your friends and family while sitting (napping?) on the deck as the water bubbles by. If you prefer to move around, there are many hiking trails outside the cabin door, also a short 15-20 minute walk to local restaurants.

This double A frame cabin has one bedroom on the main floor with a full-size bed and a set of bunk beds. The TV room has a pull-out couch, the loft upstairs has a Queen. Two adorable bathrooms with claw foot bath tubs for leisurely soaks, (one has a shower). Towels and sheets are provided.

Kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, blender, waffle maker, coffee and tea provided, basic spices and condiments.

There are two sitting areas on either side of the house allowing separate time for kids and adults; the yard is fenced, dogs (maximum 2) under 30 lbs. each permitted. The fence is pretty short in some area's (~30") which should be taken into consideration.

The temperature can fluctuate during the day in the summer months. We have two split unit HVAC units if it gets warmer in the afternoons. For cooler weather, the same units provide heat.

Your children are welcome, please note the deck and spiral staircase to the loft have open railings and are not child-proof.

We offer WiFi, the TV is available to play DVD's with a small selection provided, or rental options available in the supermarkets in Payson. The Roku is available in guest mode to allow sign-in to your favorite streaming services.

Verizon has a cell tower in the area providing cell service to the neighborhood.

If you have an electric car, we have a NEMA 14-50 plug available for charging.

Wonderful. Peter, our host, provided clear directions as well as a fantastic, functional A-frame full of character. Coffee in the morning on the back deck near the creek was lovely. We cooked several meals while we stayed, finding all necessary tools and pans with ease. There were many sleeping options including a queen sized bed in the loft. Our family looks forward to visiting this property again.

We recently stayed at this charming cabin in Christopher Creek, AZ, and it was absolutely delightful! The cabin was clean, cozy, and had such a welcoming vibe from the moment we walked in. The instructions for using the amenities were clear and straightforward, which made everything super easy. One of my favorite moments was roasting marshmallows on the peaceful deck right by the creek – such a perfect way to unwind. I also appreciated the well-stocked coffee and tea station that was ready to fuel my mornings. The large windows showcased stunning views of the surrounding nature, making the whole experience even more special. Highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing getaway!

Our stay was so lovely. My daughter loved seeing all the animals. So much adventuring to do in this area. Starting with the backyard creek! The cabin itself was so cute and cozy- only wish we brought more people with how much room and fun there was to enjoy! We played uno and relaxed on the back porch and watched the elk.

Perfect little end of summer getaway out of the Phoenix heat. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. Kiddos had so much fun exploring the creek, and just a quick drive to See Springs trail for a family friendly hike.

Amazing Getaway

We spent three amazing weeks here and loved every minute. The kids loved the cool bathtubs and playing in the creek. I loved the trees, the comfy beds, and that the kitchen was well-appointed. We all loved the weather and seeing all the animals and the friendly neighbors.

Sweet escape

Our family had the best time! Christopher Creek is a quick trip out of the city where we enjoyed the fresh air, easy going vibes, animal sightings, and playing in nature. The house was cozy and clean! We were very comfortable with access to everything we could’ve needed. Our host was was excellent. We hope to return one day!
