About this property
Spacious and Modern Pet-Friendly Chalet in the Pines—perfect for large groups!
Nestled within the serene embrace of one of Arizona's most pristine ponderosa pine forests, this chalet-style home rental offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and 21st century amenities. The exterior, boasting the classic A-frame construction reminiscent of a nordic ski chalet, has been revamped to appeal to the more modern traveler looking for new-age comfort in a cozy and nostalgic setting. The scent of pine needles fills the air as you approach the property, setting the stage for a tranquil retreat.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a completely remodeled Scandinavian-inspired interior that invites relaxation. The living space features a unique split living area for convenient separation of families or kids/adults, with each side having everything you need. On the A-frame side, large windows allow natural light to flood the space, providing stunning views of the surrounding forest and creating a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors. The full chef's kitchen provides ample space for seating, plus all of the utensils and cookware you need for preparing a big family dinner. The kitchen then seamlessly integrates into the family room, which boasts a sleek and warm built-in electric fireplace, and a 65" TV. A billiard table takes center stage in the west wing of the home, plus every bedroom is outfitted with a Roku-enabled TV for catching up on all your favorite shows and programming. If your group likes board games and playing cards, check out our well-stocked closet with all your favorite games!
A rarity in the area, this retreat has FIVE tastefully decorated bedrooms, each offering a comfortable haven for a good night's sleep. The bedrooms are designed with a harmonious mix of modern amenities and traditional mountain decor, creating a welcoming and cozy ambiance.
This pet-friendly home has two expansive decks that beckon you to unwind in the crisp mountain air. The decks are furnished with comfortable seating and space heaters, making them ideal for sipping morning coffee or enjoying a sunset barbecue with friends and family any time of the year. The surrounding pine trees provide a sense of seclusion, and a large, flat lot is perfect for outdoor games and offers plenty of room for your furry friends to stretch their legs!
Nature enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise, as the chalet is conveniently located next to some of Arizona's best hiking trails, including awe-inspiring destinations like Fossil Creek and Tonto Natural Bridge. Guests can explore the beauty of the forested landscape, breathing in the fresh mountain air and discovering hidden gems along the way. Just keep on the lookout for elk, as they are the chalet's most frequent visitors!
Despite the secluded feel of the chalet, you are only minutes away from a bevy of local restaurants, offering an impressive assortment of award-winning cuisine, as well as several unique local shops and stores. Whether you're seeking adventure on the trails or prefer a quiet evening in, this chalet-style home provides a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty for an unforgettable retreat.

About the host
Hosted by Mark Hanson
Hi! We are Mark and Michelle Hanson, owners of The Modern Strawberry Chalet, and we have been married for over 10 years. Michelle is a Pharmacy Student at Creighton University, and Mark is a Real Estate Broker. We have 3 very large and crazy dogs and hope to start our own family soon. While we had the time and relative freedom, we decided to take on the exciting (and nerve-wracking!) task of remodeling a home to turn into a short-term rental. After looking for several years, we first fell in love Strawberry, and later, the A-frame construction and large lot (remember, 3 big, crazy dogs!) of what would be our first investment property. We noticed a unique opportunity with the home, as the area lacks many large-group compatible options, but we also knew that the process of bringing something of this magnitude and size up to our standards would be a long and difficult journey. From day one, we envisioned that The Modern Strawberry Chalet should be a unique and unforgettable experience, and, over the course of two years, did our very best to build exactly that type of experience into every aspect of the home. We hope you love it as much as we do!
