The fully fenced yard was the main feature we were looking for. There were lots of things to explore in the back yard for our dog. First time traveling with her and house /property worked out perfectly for us. A 9 x 13 baking pan would be a good addition to kitchen. Everything functioned and it was nice to have garage access for the car Jon was super responsive to our questions. Great new coded entry system. Thanks for having us!

The property was very inviting. Our stay was short but sweet. Very cozy and clean. We loved the unique touch of a snack basket. Internet worked wonderfully for us to work a little away from the office with a great connection. The rock painting was a very nice touch that I’m sure many families would have so much fun doing. There were many small touches that didn’t fit our needs, but were thoughtful and creative to add joy to many others stay! This rental would fit anyone’s Payson get away! Best part for us was the cool weather and the backyard lighting and ambiance.

What an absolutely magical stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt the holiday spirit everywhere – the entire house was beautifully decorated for Christmas, with twinkling lights, two beautiful Chritmas trees, and the sweetest personal touch: stockings hung for grandkids visiting us for a day AND our puppy, each filled with treats and little surprises! There was candy everywhere (peppermint canes, chocolates, festive goodies) and our grandchildren were literally bouncing around like they’d walked into a real-life candy shop. It was pure joy watching their faces light up.The hosts were incredibly warm, child- and dog-friendly, and went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. The home had every comfort we could possibly need (and more!), and whenever we had a question the hosts responded almost instantly and took care of everything. This place made our trip extra special and created memories we’ll treasure forever. We can’t thank you enough and can’t wait to come back! Highly, highly recommend.

While this was great for just 2 people this house would also be great for families and larger groups. Very well stocked with games, puzzles, books, hiking picnicking and cookout gear etc. Nice quiet residential neighborhood yet close to shops and restaurants.Great communication with the owners.

We had an amazing time and couldnt have asked for better accomodations. Great location, quite neighhorhood, and close to everythjng Payson has to offer. As a bonus, the backyard was very enjoyable and our digs absolutely loved it. The fact that everything in the hone was useable was a huge plus too. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be returning if were ever in the area again.

Payson Trip

We had a very enjoyable stay at Hidden Trails Retreat. The home was very thoughtfully stocked with many items that you don’t often see in VRBO rentals. Very clean as other reviewers have mentioned. Our dog loved spending time in the backyard and the neighborhood was residential with friendly neighbors and we felt very comfortable going out for walks. Close to shopping. Jon and Sharon are wonderful hosts.

My husband and I enjoyed our 2 week visit - looking for a getaway from a very hot Tucson! The home is in a lovely residential section, close to shopping, the public library, beautiful Green Valley Lake with hiking trails and tours of an extremely well done Rim County Museum and Zane Grey cabin, and short drive to Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. The home is clean and well supplied for cooking your own meals. The owners are excellent at communicating prior to arriving, during the stay with information about local events, and upon leaving.

Great Place for Work and Relaxing

My husband and I were in town visiting my mom who lives nearby. We needed a place where we could do some work and relax when we weren't visiting with family. This place fit the bill and more! Everything was lovely and the welcome basket a special treat! We will definitely stay again when in the area.
