Riverfront Cabin with Hot Tub, Games & Wild Blackberry Trails

Stay a While. The 4th Night’s On Us
When available, we’re happy to elevate your escape with a complimentary extra night—just reach out to extend.


Tucked into two wooded acres along the East Verde River, Verde River Lodge is your private hideaway for fresh air, slow mornings, and cozy nights. This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath cabin brings together rustic charm and modern comforts—perfect for families, couples, or group getaways.

Step outside and you’re surrounded by nature: kids catching crawdads by the water, trails lined with wild blackberries, and the sound of the river flowing in the background. Soak in the hot tub at night, grill dinner under the stars, or curl up inside with a movie or board game. With a spacious kitchen, indoor and outdoor game zones, and a huge wraparound deck, this is a stay that makes it easy to unplug and reconnect.

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE:
• Direct river access—great for fly fishing, exploring, or wading with kids
• Hot tub under the stars
• Wraparound deck for morning coffee or sunset cocktails
• Game room with ping pong, poker, and air hockey
• Full kitchen with gas appliances, stocked with essentials
• Grassy lawn with cornhole, soccer, and a horseshoe pit
• Firepit for s’mores and storytelling
• Quiet, private setting—but only 15 minutes to town
• EV charger for easy access
• Hotel-grade linens and thoughtful extras to make your stay effortless

Warm, rustic, and made for together time. You’ll feel like you’ve truly gotten away—but with all the modern comforts waiting when you want them. Kids roam free. Adults unwind. And everyone heads home just a little more grounded.

Riverside Getaway

Cabin is very nice and a great place for large families. The river is shallow enough for the kids to play in. Elk coming down to the river to eat apples was a bonus. Beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are nice. Overall the cabin is a very nice place.

We had a nice, little family vacation at this beautiful place! There was sooo much to do for the whole family! We enjoyed the hot tub, air hockey and the hammocks were amazing! We had javelina and deer come visit, as well as some squirrels. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the cabin was gorgeous! I really appreciated the consistent communication, and everyone I spoke with was so kind. We will definitely be back!

Great Retreat

Our family had a great time. We enjoyed the multiple amenities, comfortable beds & furnishings. Along with having alone space if needed. We all got the opportunity for some well needed R&R! Left refreshed and ready to tackle life again. We would stay again.

Beautiful home, some things could be better

This review is to help prepare. Not to be negative. Firstly, there were SO many piles of cow poop on the property that it made it less than enjoyable with letting the kids run. The poop is everywhere....even on the banks of the creek. I get it, cows roam, but the pictures show so much beautiful green grass. Not green, laden in cow pies. The time we went must have been a perfect storm, because in addition to the cow pies, we had the pleasure of black worms with legs everywhere. On everything. We googled it and they are a leaf eating beetle. Literally on everything. The ground, the chairs, the rocks. The exterior of the house could have used a cleaning and blowing before we got there. We ended up finding the blower and doing it ourselves....also the oven in the house has a broken panel, so when you turn it on you have no way to know if it's actually on. We did get it to work, but it was a shot in the dark. Things to prepare for: the house is not equipped with board games, so if you want to play them you should bring. Sound travels in the house. It was okay for us but good to know. The primary bedroom triangular tub has a shower with no curtain. The lower level uses space heaters, okay but good to know. The outdoor fire pit is lovely and there's plenty of seating everywhere. Be prepared with crocs for walking the property and in the creek to avoid the poop. The home is so beautiful though and the creek's lovely.

Magical place!

This place has everything could possibly ask for. The sound of the river, the elk that visited us in the morning and just minutes from beautiful walks. Super spacious and definitely enough room for 10 to 12 people. We look forward to visiting here again.
