This is truly a charming place! It is very cozy , with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. There is a binder with lots of information on the area - hiking trails, restaurants, etc. I loved sitting on the little patio in the morning, drinking coffee, and listening to the elk bugle. I would come back to Payson just to stay here.

George was an amazing host. He went above and beyond what we expected and the cottage was spectacular. We attended a wedding at Woods Canyon Lake and this was the perfect place for our home base and to relax. Beautiful mountain views and a quiet neighborhood which we loved.

From reading the description of the property, we felt this would be a good fit for us. We were not disappointed. We had the warm feeling of "Welcome" walking to the front door. Once inside we knew this was perfect. From the decor, all the special items that make a house a Home, well-appointed kitchen, comfortable furnishings and bed, views, and a beautiful sunset, to all the modern conveniences, we felt this property was a very Special Jewel. A perfect fit for us. The Host, George, was wonderful - great communications and very accommodating. We will return, hopefully many times.

No question, the Spanish Jewel truly is a gem! Its decor is creative and imaginative. The host, George, does everything possible to make your visit special and memorable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need, the furnishings are comfortable and elegant - the only sad moment we experienced was having to leave.

It is clear that this is a much loved home. Take a moment to just sit and look around. The artwork, antiques and decor are truly charming and the result of a lot of thought and hard work. The home is amazingly well equipped with everything you need to cook. We were very comfortable during our stay.

We stayed here for our 22-year anniversary and absolutely loved it! The house was cozy, clean, and comfortable — the perfect place to relax and unwind. The host was excellent and communicated clearly from start to finish. He even left us thoughtful gifts for our anniversary, which made the stay extra special. We were also so grateful to be allowed a late checkout — such a kind gesture that made our weekend even more relaxing. We’ll definitely be coming back!
