Wonderful. Peter, our host, provided clear directions as well as a fantastic, functional A-frame full of character. Coffee in the morning on the back deck near the creek was lovely. We cooked several meals while we stayed, finding all necessary tools and pans with ease. There were many sleeping options including a queen sized bed in the loft. Our family looks forward to visiting this property again.
We recently stayed at this charming cabin in Christopher Creek, AZ, and it was absolutely delightful! The cabin was clean, cozy, and had such a welcoming vibe from the moment we walked in. The instructions for using the amenities were clear and straightforward, which made everything super easy. One of my favorite moments was roasting marshmallows on the peaceful deck right by the creek – such a perfect way to unwind. I also appreciated the well-stocked coffee and tea station that was ready to fuel my mornings. The large windows showcased stunning views of the surrounding nature, making the whole experience even more special. Highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing getaway!
This cabin/location was a little piece of heaven. The creek right off the back porch was the icing on the cake. The cabin had everything we needed. Thank you!
Our stay was so lovely. My daughter loved seeing all the animals. So much adventuring to do in this area. Starting with the backyard creek! The cabin itself was so cute and cozy- only wish we brought more people with how much room and fun there was to enjoy! We played uno and relaxed on the back porch and watched the elk.
Perfect little end of summer getaway out of the Phoenix heat. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. Kiddos had so much fun exploring the creek, and just a quick drive to See Springs trail for a family friendly hike.
We spent three amazing weeks here and loved every minute. The kids loved the cool bathtubs and playing in the creek. I loved the trees, the comfy beds, and that the kitchen was well-appointed. We all loved the weather and seeing all the animals and the friendly neighbors.
Our family loved our stay in this cabin. It has everything that’s needed. It was very clean and has beautiful scenery in the backyard. We will be back!
Our family had the best time! Christopher Creek is a quick trip out of the city where we enjoyed the fresh air, easy going vibes, animal sightings, and playing in nature. The house was cozy and clean! We were very comfortable with access to everything we could’ve needed. Our host was was excellent. We hope to return one day!
Our stay at this house was absolutely fantastic! The hosts were incredibly communicative and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. The location was truly perfect for those looking to relax and enjoy the nearby trails – we spent our days exploring and our evenings unwinding in peaceful surroundings. This property truly exceeded our expectations, offering a wonderful escape. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil retreat with easy access to nature!"
We stayed here with our 2 teen boys and dog. The owners are very generous and provide so many amenities. It is a great little cabin for a short family trip.

About the host
Hosted by Peter Rowe
Why they chose this property
My wife grew up in the valley and has childhood memories stretching from Kohl's Ranch to the White Mountains. We purchased this cabin in 2003 for a place to get away in the summer with our two kids. It holds special memories of travel with our friends and family as a weekend get away. Christopher Creek is a quiet village to enjoy hikes and happy hours. There is nothing like relaxing on the deck on arrival with a soft breeze and the sound of the creek rolling by after a long week.
What makes this property unique
We liked this cabin for two reasons; it's on the creek affording a little cooler temperature, and two separate living area's allowing the kids to enjoy their games or movies in one room, while we enjoyed our company on the deck or the living room by the kitchen.
