Our cabin is walking distance to Tonto Creek and surrounded by gorgeous pines and the sound of nature. Take a trip down the creek to the beautiful Tonto Waterfalls and swimming holes, or fish for trout along the beautiful creek shores!
We sit just down the road from the Tonto Fish Hatchery and the Horton Creek trailhead. We also sit directly next to ASU's Camp Tontozona and just down the road from the historic Kohls Ranch Lodge. Nestled behind the lodge is your opportunity for horseback riding. We may be close to so much, but The Nestled Nook is situated deep in the quiet, neighborly community of Kohls Ranch. A community that you may never know existed even if you drove right past it.
At the cabin, enjoy the huge oversized deck complete with a fire table for roasting marshmellows or chatting around the fire, two dining tables and two oversized umbrellas. Under the deck relax and enjoy nature in the porch swing while the kids play in the yard or swing on their own personal kids swing. Or explore the unique yard which is covered in geodes from all over the US!
Outside you will enjoy many species of birds which grace our bird feeders, as well as hummingbirds which frequent the property. You also may be lucky enough to see deer, elk, a family of raccoons, mountain lion and more! We also have friendly squirrels who love to be fed peanuts off the back deck. Take your relaxation to the next level by utilizing our provided parachute hammocks to read or rest under the trees.
Inside find a well appointed interior with sprawling high ceilings and floor to ceiling cedar. Our family room is cozy! Notice our unique true wood burning fireplace made from stones from almost all 50 states! The family room features comfortable leather reclining sofas and a 48" smart tv.
Our cabin is equipped with Satellite Internet. We may be VERY remote, but we know that internet is a must these days. Our internet speeds may not be what you are used to in the big city, so we recommend using your time at our cabin getting out and exploring! Enjoy the outdoors!
That said, every room in our cabin features a smart TV and both the loft and family room TVs feature a DVD player. We also have over 200 DVD's to choose from when you're ready to wind down for the night or need some rest from exploring.
Kitchen features absolutely everything you could need to cook a full home cooked meal as well as a huge oversized refrigerator. Don't want to cook? No problem! We have several restaurants within 5 miles of the cabin!
Both bedrooms feature plush Queen Beds with luxurious bedding! All rooms include 4 usb plugs inside the lamps. The loft has either a plush Queen Bed, or Two Cozy Memory Foam Twins beds. Whatever better suites your family's needs! ** Please note, this home sleeps a max of 6 due to our septic capacity.
Upstairs loft features its own TV and dvd player, mini pool/foosball/air-hockey table well as several bins with children's toys to keep them busy when its downtime.
Entry table comes packed with all the games and cards you could hope for to keep yourselves busy inside during those beautiful afternoon storms. Better yet, enjoy sitting on the back deck under the umbrellas during a storm!
We do allow puppers! A maximum of 2, under 20lbs. Breed restrictions apply. If you have a LARGER dog, please inquire at booking; we MAY be able to accommodate you with a larger pet fee. Dogs not claimed at booking will be assessed the fee after booking. Dogs that are brought to unit, unclaimed, will be assessed a $200 charge. Please help keep our cabin pupper friendly by honestly claiming your dog, as well as cleaning up after your dog; both inside and out. And no dogs on/in beds.
Whether you want to be out exploring nature, bonding as a family, or are here for a romantic getaway and want to stay nestled by the fire, this little Nestled Nook of ours is sure to check all of your boxes!

We truly enjoyed our time at your lovely cabin. It was perfect for what we needed celebrating 30 years of marriage. Definitely would love to stay there again!
Perfect, cozy and so relaxing! This was the perfect getaway for our family for Easter weekend! The cabin has everything you need and more! We loved using the back porch, the swings and hot tub. Communication was great with the host and they were quick to respond. Thanks again for a lovely stay!
The management of the property were a joy to work with. Our stay was well beyond expectations. Lots of games for kids and adults alike. This is a wonderful getaway, and I highly recommend it
Beautiful cabin. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. The grandkids had a great time going up and down the circular staircase, sleeping in the loft and playing air hockey as well as the plethora of board games provided! Thanks for providing snacks for the birds and squirrels as we would have never thought of bringing treats.
We had a wonderful visit at your lovely cabin. The attachable feeder on the big window was broken, we repaired it with super glue, but the large squirrel just broke it again. I would recommend a new one. The birds were crazy fun. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Please do come back again!!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay here! Completely serene and so comfortable! All the amenities needed were provided even bowls for our puppy! Everything was so clean and little touches throughout the cabin were so appealing, especially the cookies!! The large back deck was a wonderful amenity for morning coffee, playing cards and eating our dinner and enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. Watching all of the different beautiful birds, squirrels and a few other animals in nature was a plus! The jacuzzi is such a wonderful touch as well! We will be back!!
This is the perfect place for a family weekend in the forest and we are so thankful we found it! Everything is beautiful, clean and the communication was the best. We definitely hope to stay again soon :)

Thank you so much for visiting Sharon! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and can’t wait for you to come back again!
We were impressed at how quiet and peaceful our stay was, although the kids camp at Tontozona got a bit noisy at times. In spite of them, our stay was excellent and just what we needed.
