Location was easy to get to with restaurants and shopping really close and our stay was nice and peaceful. The only issues we had was not enough space to put our stuff, my son is a foot taller than the shower head and had to crouch down to shower and we were unable to get the TV to work.
Cush little cabin in the woods was clean, safe and warm! We loved our time here! The property kept a family of four, plus a dog, happy and satisfied with great communication from the host and lots of treats and ELK! Highly recommend!
Cabin was all it promised. Very clean and comfortable. Host went above and beyond to accommodate our stay. There were plenty of movies to watch and games to play. An abundance of wildlife made it extra special.

Thank you for choosing us! We are elated that you enjoyed your stay and we were happy to accommodate. Please consider us for your next stay.
We had a great time staying at this cabin in Pine. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. The cabin was well stocked and had everything we needed. The cabin is close to town including the well stocked grocery store. Our family had a great time watching movies in the evening and it was nice to see some Elk wonder through the neighborhood.
Nice rustic cabin with all the amenities needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The main feature for us is the fantastic location in a quiet neighborhood close to restaurants and a grocery store. Elk were seen everyday all through the neighborhood including walking past the cabin. We had a wonderful time.
Amazing winter holiday in Pine! Celebrated a fun, but very quiet New Years. Our dogs didn't miss the normal fireworks in Phoenix. Cabin was beautiful, warm and cozy - also close to lots of hiking and natural beauty. Planning on a repeat next year!
We had a wonderful, cozy 4th of July weekend in this forest getaway. The owner was super attentive and the property was perfect for our 3 boys to roam around and play outdoors for hours without thinking about looking at a screen! We had a perfect, quiet, relaxing weekend to just veg out for a couple of days!

We enjoyed having you! You took such great care of the cabin! Thank you!!
the cabin was just as described, & we had a wonderful time! Bethany is a very accommadating host, & replied quickly to our needs. The parking was a little tight for 2 trucks with trailers, so she might want to mention it, but it was not a big deal. I wasn't sure what to do with the bedding & dirty towels, so I left them on the beds, so sorry if that was wrong! We would rent again for sure.

Thank you for choosing us!!
We would love to have you back. We have and can provide more parking on the property off of hunt drive on our corner lot to the left of the property pictures.
Owner of the property was very communicative and quick to respond. The property location was nice quiet and relaxing. I absolutely loved the view from the hammock. The only thing I didn't see anyone was a washer and dryer which I would've liked to have been able to wash our items and a hair dryer since I forgot to bring my own. Other than that it was a great place to stay.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your time at the cabin! Thank you for your response. Ohhh I wish you would have messaged me!! There is a blow dryer for hair in the cabinet above the potty and curling irons, hair products etc. we do have a local laundry A couple miles away on the 87 that is easy to get in and out of for your laundry. needs.
This place was very close to my family cabin, so used for sleeping as overflow for the holidays. Has everything you need-probably too much stuff, actually, but the place did the job. Everything in working order and location was our main focus. Definitely an old school cabin feel. Wish there was a tv in the main living area for football watching while preparing Christmas dinner, but made do with a computer on the mantle. Super tiny but cute and functional.
Enjoyed our few days at Pine. Cabin was excellent, very clean and in prime area. We had close access to all the restaurants. The only thing I would recommend is take a large trash bag. You have to dispose of your own trash (not included in the cleaning fee) at a nearby gas station for $5 a bag. We had two small trash bags so they charged us $10. If we had a large black trash bag then it would have been $5.
My husband and I spent a week to get away for our anniversary. The cabin literally has every convenience of home and so much more. Watching all the Elk just wandering around all the time was exceptional experience. The nights sky was breathtaking and I could've stared at it for hours. The fenced yard right off the screened porch was prefect for our fur-babies and they enjoyed themselves just as much as we did. The screened in porch wraps around half of the cabin with privacy bamboo shades and the Sauna was magnificent. I could go on and on but finally I'll say this, I can't wait to go have another exceptional vacation and you should too.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Cozy but slightly misleading ad
We chose this property because it was listed as 3 bedroom (3 adults visiting), also we saw five kayaks for use and were exited to get on the water. The lake was about an hour away so prepare for that as we were not.
It’s important to note this is only a two bedroom; however there is a sitting room where you can watch TV that has a couch and love seat, also a couch in the main area these three are counted in the sleeps 8.
While getting ready for bed the first night and taking the pillows off of the bed there were multiple mouse droppings. That was a little disturbing but ultimately we enjoyed the time

We had listed this property as a 3 bedroom with the option of 3 couches that then sleeps 7.
We have edited our listing to state it is a 2 bedroom, including 3 sleeping couches.
We like to provide the kayaks and lifejackets as a fun recreation opportunity and as many complimentary Bonus’ to our guests. As well as recreational guides for waterway opportunities, hiking and off-roading.
We don ’t know how that little critter got in but we have taken care of the critter. We launder all blankets including bedding and pillows before every visit.
We went on a mini vacation for fall break. The pictures of the house don't don't do it justice. Very cozy and in a great location. Truly enjoy watching the elk in the neighborhood. We took our dog and the yard was perfect for her. We have already talked about going back up for spring break. Thank you so much for everything !!
This was our second time staying at Brittany’s place. We love the neighborhood and enjoyed the screened in porch in the rainy evenings. Brittany us a great host.
Adorable, cozy cabin that was perfect for 5 adults to get away for a work & play staff retreat! The cabin had everything we needed and the owner was super helpful with making dining and site seeing recommendations. Highly recommend and would love to return in the future!
Clean cute little cabin. Comfortable bed. Nice to have a small fenced backyard for the dogs to run around. Daily visits from female and young elk. Very friendly neighbors and quiet.
Lovely property in a beautiful community with plenty to do to be as busy as you want. Cool temperatures only 2 short hours from Phoenix. Awesome restaurants and wildlife roam the neighborhood making happy hour on the porch that much more enjoyable.
My son and I stayed a couple nights with our dog. The cabin was clean and comfortable...
