Arizona getaway

This was our first trip from the Midwest to Arizona. The house was in the mountains and had an amazing view every morning and evening. The firepit was perfect for a nightcap. The house is filled with details from the local stores. It is small and beautiful along with exactly what we were looking for. We drove in a different direction every day and enjoyed coming back to the house for evening relaxation. The house is exactly what was expected and would recommend any of my friends to visit.

Perfect!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. This home was exactly what we were looking for and the house was so cute. The owners little touches and beautiful decor made us feel very welcome. You could tell that she really cares and wants her guests to feel welcome. I would recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a quiet getaway. Just dont get startled by the roaming cows like I did. Lol. I will definitely stay here again!

Great stay

My husband and I loved staying here. It's an adorable 1 bed 1 bath cabin. The location is amazing and the views are to die for. Close enough to town but far enough to feel secluded. It's literally on a mountain which made the views absolutely stunning.

Beautiful Granite Dells View

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy, quiet home. The owner and co-host are hospitable and kind people. We loved the patio and firepit which has a spectacular view of the Granite Dells. The home has everything you need to cook meals and even do some laundry if needed. It was nice having the combo gas/smoker grill and dine outdoors on the patio. It is located very close to amenities and many outdoor adventures. All that is needed is to show up and have a relaxing time!

Nice little place!

Neat place. Nice location-we liked that it felt private, in the woods and yet close to town. Cozy inside. Loved all the unique wood. The dirt road was super bumpy and icy, but it was extra snowy/rainy when we stayed. Quite clean- minimal dog hair. Never needed to contact the host during our stay but she was very quick to respond when we booked and had questions beforehand. We appreciated just having to use the door code when we arrived. Very easy. Pretty nice place- we'd recommend it!

Thoroughly enjoyable

The house was so much more then what we expected. We were impressed with the condition of the home, and especially the Bear and Elk decor throughout.. There was plenty of supplies for our needs, and the location in Star Valley was just what we were looking for. Close enough to Payson for food and shopping, but far enough in the Pines to make it a very picturesque view from the home. The fire pit and view from the patio was awesome. The owner was accessible and found out that she is an author. My wife purchased her book, and is really enjoying it so far. We would definitely stay here again

BEAUTIFUL

I never use the term OMG, but OMG. The house was beautiful inside and out. It was in a perfect location. Everything was so close. Grocery stores, restaurants, hiking trails. I could go on. One issue came up, and the problem was taken care of right away. The inside of the house was comfortable. You'll have everything you need inisde. The bed in the bedroom was really comfortable. The house was so clean. Thank you, Faye!! I look forward to staying in your house again real soon.

About the host

Hosted by Faye Hamilton

I live in Star Valley and commute to Phoenix to work. I love to travel and there are so many places that I have visited throughout the United states and Canada. There is a simplicity that has come over time with frequent travel, a friendliness to kindred spirit travelers. I like things clean and neat. I will prepare my home for others that way, and leave it that way when I travel. I will gladly share great places in this region to explore and would love suggestions to me, as well, when I visit as a guest elsewhere.

What makes this property unique

This home is located in a very quiet neighborhood. It is approximately 1 and a half hours outside of Phoenix, but far enough away to provide much better weather.
