To say that the White Mountains is in my blood would be an understatement. As a child, I have fond memories of my family vacations each summer in the 70’s traveling from Ohio to visit my grandparents cabin at Hawley Lake in the White Mountains. While it was certainly no frills, memories of that cabin and the times will always be with me. I can recall struggling to get a weak radio signal from the only radio station 30 -40 miles away in Show Low that ironically played horrible music and featured an always interesting newscast. It really didn’t matter as the fish always seemed to be biting and the conversations and company was always good.
Eventually all the cabins at Hawley Lake were shut down and my grandparents moved off the mountain. About that time (1987) I moved to Arizona to attend school and have lived here ever since. Longing for the times and memories of the past, I eventually found myself on vacation in Pinetop in 2002 and decided to purchase this cozy cabin as a second home. While I knew I couldn’t replace the past, this place certainly has created more memories of a lifetime. This cabin has watched my kids grow into adults and has been the place of great times with friends and family since 2002. In the spring of 2015 we decided we had grown to big for this 2 bedroom cabin and have recently moved to another cabin just 2 doors down the street. This place means a lot to my family and it is our hope that you enjoy the cabin and the mountains as much as we do.
