This was nice and relaxing, had a nice breeze and was pretty private location. Great trails out the back of the property to go explore, saw some elk and heard them bugle. Great to sit out either on the front or back deck to just relax and we had a great getaway!

Very clean and comfortable, plenty of space for the entire family. Loved that you were able to walk out the back gate and walk trails, very convenient. Entire yard was fenced which made it nice for the dogs to run and not have to worry about running off.

Great Location and Stay

"This property is the perfect getaway—just a short drive from the Valley, yet it feels like a world away. We love the direct access to the national forest and the peace of mind that comes with the large fenced-in yard where the kids can play freely. The home is spacious enough for everyone to have their own space, and the beds are incredibly comfortable!

Beautiful place!

Such a wonderful cabin! Clean, spacious, secure! Went with some family and our young kids. Hiking trails right out back, beautiful views from the couch, clean and cozy! We hope to be back again! Close to town but also feels secluded. Nice to have a fenced in property if you have a dog. Loved this place!!

Loved our Payson stay

We enjoyed our long weekend stay at the Elkwood Lodge. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. The host was very accommodating and took care of HVAC issue promptly. Access to the national forest from the back gate provided us with nice short hikes with the littles. We will be back!

Perfect Family Getaway!

This home is a perfect mix of quiet seclusion while still having all Payson has to offer at your fingertips! You can tell in the details of this home that the hosts care about comfort and that their guests truly enjoy their stay. Our kids and dogs had a blast enjoying the freedom of safely exploring the fenced in property as well as family hikes on the open land behind it. We can’t wait to book our next getaway to this property!

Peaceful vibes, awesome views.

The property is great for families. Plenty of space in and around the house to not feel on top of one another. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, and there is a trail directly behind the house for hiking. Bird watching on the porch is a must, and it was awesome to have a bucket of bird seed provided.

Quiet escape from the city

As advertised: very nice property, beautiful views. We had a clear sky at night, so the stars were amazing. Hiking trails directly from the yard. Large fenced in yard that our 2 dogs loved. Thank you!

Just What the Doctor Ordered

This was the perfect location to get out of the Phoenix heat! It is close enough to the town of Payson to make it quite convenient, yet is tucked away on a large parcel that backs up to some incredible state land with great views. This is the first VRBO that we have added to the 'let's do this one again' list. It was fantastic!!

Our stay at Elkwood Lodge

We loved our stay here. We just wanted a place to get away and meet up with our adult kids and relax. It was perfect. The house is spacious and comfortable. It’s a great place to take advantage of the Payson area. We hiked in the adjoining national forest land, visited the Tonto Natural Bridge, and took our pups for a swim up at Willow Springs Lake. Easy access to everything. We’ll be back!

Great property

This property was exceptional from the moment we booked. Great communication with the property management. When we arrived everything was exactly what we expected from all the pictures. The house accommodated our family of 10 very comfortably. It’s location is just far enough to enjoy the peace and quite of nature, but still close enough to the rim and all the lakes to really enjoy exploring the area. We hope to come back again.

Luxury Rustic with an Irreplaceable View!

Elkwood Lodge was such a nice getaway for our family - our only complaint is we wish we could have stayed longer. It has great 360 degree views and beautiful grounds. The cabin is well kept and clean. We had a blast on that deck watching the sunrise, listening to animal sounds, and playing games. Our kiddo had fun downstairs watching movies and playing. I highly recommend Elkwood Lodge to anyone.
