About this property

Elevated Getaway in the Pines—Pickleball, Porch Views & Endless Fun

At Payson Heights, time is measured not by the hour, but by moments that matter: sunrise coffee on the wraparound porch, echoing laughter during family pickleball matches, and stories shared fireside under the stars. Nestled on five sprawling acres among whispering pines, this 9-bedroom, 6.5-bath estate was designed for reconnection and recreation.

Three living rooms offer space for everyone—from kids playing board games to adults relaxing with wine and a view. Indoors, a billiards room, ping pong table, and thoughtful game collection keep the energy flowing. Outdoors, two pickleball courts, horseshoes, and room to roam turn any afternoon into an adventure.

Want to turn your stay into something unforgettable? Ask about adding the optional private Saloon and guest house, a true crowd-pleaser that brings rustic charm and bonus space for larger groups. Whether you're celebrating, reminiscing, or simply escaping, Payson Heights delivers nature, comfort, and memories that linger long after checkout.

INDOOR FEATURES:
⦁ 9 bedrooms, plus loft and Murphy beds, sleeping up to 22 guests
⦁ Three spacious living rooms across multiple levels
⦁ Game-ready: billiards, ping pong, cards, board games, and more
⦁ Fully equipped kitchen and dining area
⦁ Baby-friendly supplies (high chair, pack & play, stroller)
⦁ Optional guest house and Old West-style Saloon available as add-ons

OUTDOOR FEATURES:
⦁ Five private acres surrounded by forest and fresh mountain air
⦁ Wraparound porch with scenic Rim Country views
⦁ Two pickleball courts, horseshoes, yard games
⦁ Fire pit and open-air seating for stargazing
⦁ EV Level 2 charger on site
⦁ Quick access to lakes, hiking trails, and outdoor adventure

Before Payson Heights, life might have felt a bit too noisy, too digital, too rushed. But here, surrounded by pines and people you love, the pace shifts. You listen more. You laugh more. And somewhere between porch mornings and pickleball tournaments, you remember how good it feels to just be.

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING:
“Over-the-top setting… every imaginable amenity both outdoor and indoor.”

“The view from the outdoor deck? Unmatched.”

“Big, beautiful, and so much fun—definitely rent the Saloon if you can!”

“So much to do on property and close to the lake too.”

“Everything we needed and more—hosts were responsive and kind.”

“My brother and his Phoenix friends are already planning a return trip!”

Prime location in Payson!

Great location in Payson for a family/friend retreat getaway! Convenient to grocery stores and shops nearby, as well as activities. We went horseback riding that was perfect distance from the house at Kohl's Ranch which is highly recommended as well, and also went to Willows Spring Lake.

Wonderful family gathering

This home has wonderful views along with plenty of space for everyone. The forest around the property is lush and gorgeous. We were able to have movie night and used the bbq for practically for every meal. We used the tables and chairs on the deck for evening time meals then moved to the fire pit to relax and have good conversation. This property has a little bit for everyone.

Beautiful place but run down

The place is beautiful, it is not well maintained. A lot of things didn't work, tv some of the games. The kitchen sink when used required us to mop. Management apologized for the inconvenience, we were still mopping the whole stay. Hole in the ceiling was patched with carpet and the carpet was painted. Bedroom 1 had a lot of live roaches. The saloon had a roach a lot of spiders and scorpions. A lot of spiders downstairs too. So this did retract from from our stay and in this sense we didn't think that was okay. Carpet in room #2 was really dirty. There were ripped couches just covered up with a blanket and ripped pillows. Tv that was labeled not working so it is pictured as though you are getting this in your rental but you don't. The location is lovely and if maintained this property would be amazing again.

Incredible cozy cabin with so much space

We love going to Payson every year and this year we have found our forever vacation home to visit. Payson Heights has everything we ever wanted from the space, the amenities and the management was so hands on with anything we needed. We will definitely be back

Above and beyond expectations

Plenty of room to conduct business, family fun and relaxation. We were able to dine comfortably together and to relax both inside and outside of the home. We had a group of 18 and it worked out great.

Beautiful Property

This property is in such a great location, and I loved this layout! It was very spacious, and way larger than any cabin I have ever seen! We were checked in when we arrived which really gave it that special touch. The weather was absolutely beautiful , and we were in a semi remote location which was nice.
