With a spacious covered patio, warm cabin-inspired interiors, a gas fireplace, and frequent elk sightings nearby, this home is a relaxing White Mountains basecamp for families, couples, golfers, remote workers, and outdoor adventurers.

Inside, the home offers an open, comfortable layout with inviting living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, cozy gathering areas, and plenty of room to unwind after a day at the lake, on the trails, or exploring downtown Show Low. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, watching wildlife pass through the neighborhood, grilling dinner outside, or settling in by the fireplace, Elk Run Escape makes it easy to slow down and enjoy the mountain setting.

Located in the desirable Sierra Pines neighborhood, guests can enjoy a quiet forested feel while still being just minutes from Fool Hollow Lake, Show Low Bluff Trail, Bison Golf Club, local restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, and year-round White Mountains recreation.

The Space

Elk Run Escape blends mountain charm with everyday comfort. The living area is bright and welcoming, with large windows, comfortable seating, a gas fireplace, Smart TV, and a relaxed cabin feel that makes it easy to gather after a day out exploring.

The kitchen is fully equipped for easy meals at home, with full-size appliances, cooking basics, dishes, utensils, coffee essentials, baking items, wine glasses, and a dining area for shared meals. Whether you’re making breakfast before the trails or grilling dinner on the patio, the home is set up for a convenient stay.

The outdoor space is one of the highlights of the property. Enjoy a spacious covered patio with outdoor seating, a BBQ grill, and peaceful views of the surrounding pines. Elk and deer are often seen in the area, especially around dawn and dusk, making the deck a favorite place to relax with a cup of coffee or evening drink.

Guests will also enjoy WiFi, fresh linens, towels, free parking, a bathtub, shower, dishwasher, ice maker, fireplace, and essential safety features including smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit.

Important to Know

This home does not have air conditioning. Show Low’s mountain climate is typically cooler than lower-elevation Arizona destinations, especially in the evenings, but guests booking during warmer months should be aware that the home is not equipped with AC.

The home is located in a residential mountain neighborhood where wildlife is common. Please admire elk, deer, and other animals from a safe distance and do not feed or approach them.

Access to the home is via paved, city-maintained roads, so 4WD is not typically required under normal conditions. Winter weather can still impact travel throughout the White Mountains, so guests visiting during snow or ice conditions should check forecasts and road conditions before arrival.

Book Your Show Low Getaway

Whether you’re planning a summer lake trip, a quiet mountain escape, a golf weekend, a ski-season stay, or a relaxing family retreat in the pines, Elk Run Escape offers a peaceful and convenient home base in one of Show Low’s most desirable neighborhoods. Book your stay and experience the best of Arizona’s White Mountains.
