About this property

Beautiful bunkhouse in forest just hours outside Phoenix metro area

Perfectly nestled in the forest in Strawberry, AZ the Kodiak Bunkhouse, Studio Cabin blends seamlessly into its environment. It sits inconspicuously on our 1 acre of property. It is the guest house next to the main cabin.

Walking around the Bunkhouse to the back you will find the gas grill and comfortable patio seating that overlooks the dense forest of surrounding pine trees. Upon entering the cabin you will quickly realize this is not your grandad's hunting cabin. 2 queen sized beds occupy one end of the cabin and an efficient kitchenette resides on the side. The bathroom features a glass shower door with brand new tile. During our winters, you will enjoy the warmth and romantic atmosphere generated by the electric fireplace that sits in front of the futon couch that can easily be turned into a bed. Entertainment is provided with a smart TV, cards, board games, fast WiFi and the local bars and restaurants within a few miles. Not to mention the amazing hiking and biking trails, Fossil Creek and Tonto Natural Bridge a few miles away as well.

Jeff was a great host with whom our group of 3 hikers had a chance to chat as we were loading up our packs for our 3-night backpack. Very clean, comfortable accommodations that offered a wonderful night’s rest before our backcountry adventure.

Thank you Kylie you guys were great guests. We apologize for the hiccup but it didn’t have to do it with us. It was Airbnb somebody had made an inquiry but they thought it was a stay so we got it straightened out. We had to communicate with him directly but you guys were great guests and I hope you come back when you’re ever in this area.
