Beautiful place-be sure to close the gate! The location is a little far from town. It really depends on what your looking for, but the owners are watchful.

Thank you, Eugenie! I am glad you enjoyed our home! I am sorry the location and overall experience was not the best it could be for you. Our goal is to provide our guests with the safest and best experience possible, which is why we ask that the gates be kept closed and do not allow smoking, as stated in our house manual and introductory text. In the future, looking over the house manual prior to booking might help you to have a better experience. We are grateful that our neighbors keep an extra eye on our gates since we cannot be there. Keeping animals off the property keeps you and your property safe, as well as ours. Again, we truly regret that your experience was not the excellence that we aim for. If you choose to return, we will work to make your second experience much better. Thanks again for choosing our cozy cottage. Sincerely, Pam :)

Cottage with a View

If you want an exceptionally clean home that has a backyard view second to none, this property is for you. The neighborhood is very quiet; the only noise you will hear is from coyotes who howl in the distance each morning. Payson is a great place to visit, especially if you enjoy hiking. There are beautiful trails to be experienced throughout the area. The owner is very quick to respond to any questions that you may have. We had a great time and we have zero complaints.

A quiet place to relax and feel at home.

It was a nice break from hotel rooms on our trip west. So quiet sitting out on the back porch in the late afternoon watching the colors changing on the rim as the sun dropped lower in the sky. We didn't discover the box in the corner until too late to enjoy a trip back in time. Maybe next time. Pam was quick to reply to any questions we had and to refund one night's payment due to a VRBO scheduling problem. We hope to return some day.

Great stay!

We spent a few nights at this cozy cabin with the family. Pam is a great hostess and made the process seamless and accommodating. The view from the backyard is absolutely stunning and the fenced in yard allowed our girls to explore the gardens and play easily. The cabin is clean and very comfortable. Highly recommend!

It was a very lovely cottage.

We enjoyed looking over towards the mountains. The porches were awesome and we enjoyed the rain outside drinking coffee while sitting outside on both porches. It was a very nice time and we wish we could have stayed longer.

The cottage was super clean and a beautiful getaway to the quiet and relative solitude of Payson. Having the National Park in the backyard was very convenient and we loved sitting on the patio and enjoying the views.

Beautiful property. Close to stores. Group of 30 Elk run by in back of the house bugling every morning around 5:30am and then again at 8:30pm. Cows walk by daily in the backyard. The only annoying thing was the gate in from of the garage. No room to park outside, so you have to open the gate to driving in, close the gate.

Awesome view!

A cozy garden cottage is a good description of this property. The gardens in both the front and back of the house were beautiful this time of year (early May) with many flowering plants and provided peaceful places to read or relax. The view out the back of the house is unobstructed by buildings or houses. We were lucky to see elk from the backyard twice during our stay. We also enjoyed several nights of stargazing since there were no streetlights in the neighborhood. All three beds were comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped with everything we needed. All in all, a great stay!
