About this property
Water’s Edge Retreat, Lake & Creek Views , Kayaks, Firepit, Massage, Sleeps 10
Trade city noise for birdsong at this designer 4‑bed, 3‑bath hideaway tucked between a seasonal creek, a lily‑dotted pond, and Lakeside’s natural lake. Mornings begin with coffee on the deck as herons skim the water; evenings end around a crackling firepit or in the full‑body massage chair that melts travel tension away. Thoughtful details—crisp linens, chef‑friendly kitchen, 75‑inch smart TV, board games, and kayaks ready at the shoreline—create an effortless, memory‑rich stay for families and close‑knit groups.

Welcome to our vacation cabin on the lake - we think you will love it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
There are so few homes in AZ that are on the lake, but yet safe for kids, and in good condition! The age of the home, location of the home and the town of lakeside-pinetop checked all the boxes for us to purchase a vacation home where we can create family memories for many years to come!
What makes this property unique
The view is amazing! The location within the community is the best lot - it actually used to be owned by the builder. It has a perfect combination of Lake view, Pond View, and some privacy from the spillway. A few other lots may have better lake views, but they are right in front of the tourist areas and get a lot of people looking in their windows, and don't have any space for the kids to play in the back! This one truly has it all!
