The host was great at communicating to prepare us for our stay. It was comfortable for our family of 14, from baby to grandparents. We enjoyed the pickle ball court to the play ground to the spacious comfortable kitchen/family/dining rooms. We would love to come back when it’s warmer as well!
This property was amazing. Very clean, kitchen was well equipped, property management was extremely communicative and overall was a terrific stay. We will definitely be back
This home was a great fit for us ! We loved the back yard for baseball games and kickball. Location was great and having working Wifi was a huge plus. We hope to be back some day !
A beautiful cabin, with lots of room, and a great location. The weather was light snow and it made for a great time. The kitchen was perfect and the rooms were perfect for all of us. A visit to the local library was amazing with so many books and dvd's to see. The kids loved the library and the playground. Highly recommend this place.
We had a wonderful time at this cabin, we are a large family with wide age range. There is a lot to do for all the ages. The play set outside needs an overhaul, it has been well loved. The pickleball/basketball courts where SO fun!! It did get a little warm upstairs and the a/c didn't keep up, the bedrooms were a bit warm at night on our July trip. The property managers were very attentive and helpful with questions that came up. We will book this cabin again.
We had a large group of family and the house was perfect! The bedrooms were all comfortable and the layout was great for accommodating such a large group. Communication was excellent, especially with regard to the winter weather. The property was beautiful and the kids loved playing on the playground and exploring. Would definitely recommend and return!
This is the second time that we have stayed at this cabin and it never disappoints. There is plenty of space for everyone inside and tons for opportunities for exploration outside for the kiddos. The property managers are very friendly and easy to get a hold of! We will definitely be back!
Check-in was easy and communicating with the property manager was great! They are on top of it and respond quickly. The property was amazing! There was so much room for everyone and so much to do. The pool table is a great addition. The only thing that could have made this stay perfect is snow but not something the management team could help with, lol. Thank you so much, we will be back!
Amazing property! We traveled with 5 kids total between families and the playground was awesome to have! Had amazing thunderstorms during our stay as well. We didn’t leave the property, just played cornhole, basketball and frisbee in the backyard, went for walks, played pool on the upstairs loft and cooked all the food we brought in coolers! So nice to escape the valley heat for a couple days! Had lots of toys on hand for kids to play with as well which was awesome. Can’t wait to go back!
The property is beautiful and great access to off road trails just off the property as promised in the description as well as the backyard was extremely family friendly. Overall the property was amazing and the property manager was very responsive but just a couple things...
The cabin was not as clean as it could have been upon our arrival, there was a smell in the kitchen and in the trash can as well. The kitchen is not stocked well as far as cookware so if you are a person who does like to cook then I would suggest bringing your own cookware. There were only 3 wash cloths in the house not including the dirty hand towel we found in the linen closet. We definitely left the cabin cleaner than we found it.

If we had known at time of stay, we would of definitely remedied it on the spot!

What a perfect place for our family of 15 to gather. Beautiful home, clean and plenty of space for all of us. It was a bit cold but everyone enjoyed the outdoor amenities; our littles the playground and their parents a few games of Pickle Ball. The property backs up to the Forest Service which was a bonus for us, providing privacy and beauty.Unfortunately we did have some trouble with the upstairs heat and electrical outlets from the time we arrived. The management company did respond to us right away and arranged for a maintenance man to come out the next morning. He was not able to fix it but did bring extra space heaters. However, these heaters were hard to use because most outlets were inoperable. The rooms affected were a bit uncomfortable but we also realize that these things happen and we appreciate the fact that they did their best to rectify the situation.
What an Awesome Cabin. Just around 2 hours from our homes in Phoenix, this Cabin has so many amenities and options... The large kitchen/living area to have nice get together at breakfast, lunch, and dinner time, the outside grill, the bar, the bar which can be used as a blackjack counter :), the pool table, the Karaoke system...and on and on and on...
The instructions were self-explanatory and the communication from the property manager was prompt. We as a group enjoyed every bit of it.
My family and I enjoyed our stay here. The home was amazing and very spacious, just how it looked in the pictures. The property is so beautiful and peaceful. We were so happy our kid's got to experience their first snow experience here. The house had everything we needed. Property management was available when we needed a question answered and quick to respond. We will definitely stay here again!
Overall the property was great. We had great communication from the property management company, we had a small issue with some plumbing but they were quick to connect with us and get someone out to fix it. Other than that the property was perfect for our business group. The house sites on a nice lot right next to the national forest and a good distance away from the other neighbors. It was well stocked in the kitchen for cooking, etc. and all the rooms were comfortable. Great for a business or family retreat. We will definitely return.
The Copper Elk Manor was a great stay in a nice quiet town of Forest Lake Estates. The property looks even better in person and there is tons to do at the house. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay in the Forest Lakes area!
We had an amazing time staying on this beautiful property! Everything was bigger and better than the pics. We were all impressed with how modernized the Cabin was. Description says wifi is not good but we had no trouble at all. Everything was clean and accommodating. My daughters and I loved cooking in the kitchen. My husband loved the Viking Range! A warning to the future guest...set the bottom drawer of the fridge before you fill it...lol the sub zero froze my produce. Lesson learned. All together great trip! Thanks for sharing your amazing home!
This wonderful home was perfect for our party of 11 located at the end of a road. There are miles and miles of tall pine out in view from windows rising 30 feet giving a peak at a snow covered landscape. The sleeping configuration with many bed options and the open concept living room gave us room to gather and rest. The home was well functioning and it was stocked well for our stay. We will be back!
