About this property

Beautiful tree top view, roomy, peaceful, near hiking trails, Starlink Wi-Fi

The main benefits of “Hodge Lodge” are LOCATION and VIEW.
LOCATION: Our house is about 1 mile from stores and restaurants. It borders Tonto National Forest at the end of Pine View Dr. on the eastern slope of Strawberry Mountain. The area is secluded and peaceful with lots of wildlife.

VIEW: The view is really nice. You see the whole valley and have a clear view of the Mogollon Rim. When you are on the upper deck you are nearly at tree top level and nothing will block your view. The night sky and stars are breathtaking.

The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms that will sleep 8 in beds and for additional sleep options we have a futon in the fireplace room and sleeping pads in the loft.

The 3rd bedroom is an apartment which has a private access from the back of the house. It has a King size bed, bathroom with shower, microwave, refrigerator, private patio, WiFi, 42 inch flat screen with satellite TV, and two recliner chairs.

This spacious chalet has (2400 sq. ft.) of living space and almost 2000 sq. ft. of outside decking nestled in the forest. It is a very relaxing and peaceful place. Everything you would need to prepare meals or relax is furnished.

This house is located at the end of a well maintained gravel road. It is one of the highest locations in Pine situated on the east slope of Strawberry Mountain. The view is spectacular. The upper level deck raps around the house for 360 degree view of the area. Our living room is within feet of the Tonto national forest. You would be totally surrounded by tall Ponderosa pines. There are lots of wildlife small and large to view. (Elk, Deer, Coyotes and a variety of small game)
We are within walking distance (about 1 mile) to antique shops, restaurants, bars, library, community center and playground. Pine/Strawberry host several seasonal arts and crafts festivals, rodeos and other special events. There are many hiking, mountain biking and riding trails. Go horseback riding, golfing, fishing or swimming in the creeks/rivers. Pine has much to offer such as antique shops, restaurants, specialty stores, arts and craft festivals and other special events.
You would be 90 minutes north of Phoenix
157 miles from the Grand Canyon
5 miles from the north side of the Mogollon Rim
13 miles from Payson which has golf, airport, Restaurants, Movies, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and lots of locally owned shops.
88 miles to Snow Bowl ski resort, Flagstaff, AZ.
7 miles to The Tonto Natural Bridge it is a must see area
Just steps away are many trails in the national forest
40 miles to great fishing in the many rim lakes
20 miles to swimming in Fossil Creek
5 miles to horseback riding

The property was very beautiful, it allowed pets which was fantastic. However there is no way to leave them outside if you wanted to go for a hike or go in to town. Expect tied up on a leash which is not a huge problem. Plenty of space and rooms for large families! The swing out front was a huge hit.

Nice stay, rained in the afternoon making the swamp cooler ineffective with high humidity. Lower suite had no cooling air except for a portable oscillating fan making the higher temperatures quite warm in the suite. Appliances were dated but the view was outstanding. Forest critters were abundant and enjoyable to watch and admire.
