~ HORSE LOVER'S PARADISE ~
The ultimate Arizona mountain and horse lovers experience awaits you in the quiet, cool pines of Payson, Arizona. Diamond Spirit Ranch Studio Guest House is a 90 minute drive from the East Valley which includes Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert, Phoenix and more. Bring your horses! There are 2 stalls, paddocks, tack room and more... everything you and your horses need to experience a comfortable escape to the mountains.

Our property is a one minute walk to a 30 acre professional riding facility with events, arenas, instruction and clinics.

~ HORSES NOT REQUIRED; OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS PARADISE ~
The appeal of our studio guesthouse is not limited to equestrians. Setting is lovely for nature lovers who enjoy hiking, biking and wildlife viewing or just a retreat to the mountains to restore their inner peace. Binoculars and cameras are a must! It is not an appropriate rental for anyone interested in hunting.

Payson is a 15 minute drive from our home and offers lakes for fishing, wildlife viewing to include water fowl and elk, golf, shopping and quaint dining experiences. Mogollon Rim is approximately 30 miles from Payson and offers breathtaking scenery as well as horseback and hiking/biking trails, lakes for boating and fishing, and back country skiing during the winter months.

Our cozy and comfortable studio guesthouse adjoins the barn which has two 12 X 15 ft stalls. Both stalls are matted and have a fan plus a gate to the turn out area. Additional amenities include a grooming area, wash rack with mats, a private, well appointed, climate-controlled tack room and two large turn out areas. Barn, tack room and grounds are well lit for optimal safety and to facilitate horse care. A 16 x 24 covered shelter for your horse(s) has been added to the lower turnout.

Outside of the studio guesthouse is a covered, built-in kitchen with gas grills, fridge, sink with running cold water and TV. The outdoor kitchen is surrounded by a large gathering area with a dining table and other comfortable seating choices. A wood burning fire pit will warm you when the evenings are cool (and no fire restrictions are in place). Adult neighbors occasionally use the gathering area for small group get-togethers and informative meetings that are quiet and friendly. Guests are welcome to join the fun!
