Log Cabin in the Pines, Treehouse with Swinging Bridge, beautiful stream nearby

Looking for a perfect place to get away? Planning a vacation for the entire family? Rent an amazing log cabin in the pines on an adventuresome one-acre hillside with rock formations, trails, tree house with a swinging bridge, site water fountain and waterfalls, pond, outside fire pit and grill, climb up to the "crow's nest" or down the spiral staircase over a 9' rock cliff, or see how high you can go in the pine tree swing, relax in the hammock, jump on the trampoline, play basketball in the parking area.

Fish for trout in the nearby stream. Enjoy many nearby hikes including a beautiful box canyon at "Water wheel" (one mile away) with waterfalls, cliff jumping and swimming holes.
Other nearby attractions include Tonto Natural Bridge, Fossil Springs, Pine-Strawberry Museum, Railroad Tunnel Trail TR390. Payson is only 15 minutes away for shopping, restaurants, movies, etc. (see below for more details)

Spacious 200 sf Cabin is constructed on a hillside of real logs (no drywall), all interior is logs and knotty pine. Two bedrooms with queen sized beds plus a large loft with 2 bunk beds and 6 floor pads for sleeping if needed, 2 baths, laundry room with washer and dryer, dining area, large family area, table games in the coat closet, 800 sf exterior raised wood deck. Cabin completely furnished.

Detached garage includes a ping pong table and fusball game. Parking area is large enough for several vehicles and a trailer if needed. Firewood is ready for a fire in the fire pit (sometimes the national forest has restrictions on outside fires during dry summers).

Cabin is less than 2 hours from Phoenix below the gorgeous Mogollon Rim in Arizona and a 15 minute drive northeast of Payson on Houston-Mesa Road. The towns of Pine and Strawberry are a little over a half hour away with many fun and interesting attractions. Here is some additional information about other local outdoor activities:
Tonto Natural Bridge is an impressive stone formation located just north of Payson. The entrance to the park is about 10 miles north of Payson along highway 897. There are two paths down. The bridge itself is an amazing site with a stream passing underneath and waterfalls pouring from above. The park also features other hiking trails, picnic areas and a gift shop.
Fossil Springs and fossil Creek area little know wonders of the rim country of central Arizona. As this scenic canyon approaches the base of the Mogollon Rim, it suddenly transforms from a rather typical high desert canyon to an amazing water wonderland. Directions: turn left on Fossil Creek Road (FR708) at Strawberry Lodge in the town of Strawberry. Go 4 miles west on a dirt road. Turn right and progress .5 mile to the trailhead parking lot.
Railroad Tunnel Trail TR390. Go north trough Whispering pines past the first fork in the road (keep going straight) until you come to the next road that turns right on FR32 (see sign to Washington Park). Drive about 5 miles on gravel road to Washington Park trailhead parking lot. Once on the trail, watch for small sign on the trail that goes to the right up a steeper climb to the railroad tunnel. After resting at the tunnel, you can conyinue your hike to the top of the rim. There you will will a historical marker that describes the battle of Big Dry Wash where 16 to 27 warriors were killed. If you follow the road 1 mile further north you come to General Springs Cabin which was built in 1918 and used for man years ass a fire guard station. Total hike from the parking lot is about 3 hours. Take water to drink and wear good shoes.

Great Property with a lot to do!
We have been staying here for 3 years and bring our grandkids. They love it! The property alone has so much for them to do in addition to us catching crawdads at the creek and kayaking and fishing at the lake. In the past the neighbors have been friendly to us and we have introduced ourselves and had nice converations with them. We are quiet, friendly and good guests that respect the neighbors. This time was different. We could feel the tension and the unfriendlness of the neighbors and it made us very uncomfortable and we felt very unwelcomed.

Perfect family vacation
My family had such a good time at this cabin. They had everything you need it for a fun family getaway, including wood for a fire and Marshmello holders to make s’mores. They also had a list of places to go hiking, and we found a fun little hike and swimming area, the children really enjoyed the treehouse and lookout area

Beautiful Log Cabin
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. We loved the trampoline, tree swing, hammock, and tree house in the yard to make this a unique experience. The cabin is nice and spacious. Check-in/out were very smooth and easy. It was a nice escape from the Phx heat for a few days. I would definitely stay here again.

Great trip!
We stayed at this cabin over 4th of July week. It was perfect for us and another family to share. The kids loved the sleeping loft and all the activities- darts and ping pong, splashing in the water feature, the treehouse, etc. It was pretty warm that week but the portable ac units for each room made everything comfortable.

Cabin oasis
Amazing stay with so many things to do there. Cheaper then hotel stay if you add up your party. Very well stocked with supplies. Neighbors were very friendly. Drive slow. It rained during our stay and that was so nice to drink coffee and watch it rain. Also we saw elk in the mornings. And a friendly little squirrel would visit us on the deck. A much needed weekend getaway for us.

Great location, near creek
Very dusty and stains on blankets, needs better cleaning. Toilet seat is cracked and pinches you. Neighbor threatened us and was watching what we were doing. Room a/c unit exhaust broken blowing hot air into the room. Otherwise the property and area is beautiful. Creek nearby. Nice man-made creek on the property. Great location. The ping pong was fun, lots of activities for kids.

Peaceful & Well Equipped Log Cabin Experience
Log Cabin in the Pines had everything we needed to fully enjoy our stay. Appliances, cookware, linens, games, nearby hiking, outdoor cooking and stocked cupboards of staples. Initially we thought it was a bit remote but with a Walmart, Home Depot, restaurants, service stations etc just a short, scenic 10 mile trip down the mountain away, it turned out to be a great launch point for our motorcycling touring.

Great Family Retreat
This was the perfect location for our family trip. The cabin was super comfortable and the kids all lamented that we couldn't stay longer. Our night at the fire pit included a visit from some elk! The kids had a blast playing all over the property.

Breaks my heart.
We booked this cabin as it was our first family easter together and wanted to make unforgettable memories. Well that is for sure was made. As we walked in the cabin we came into a smell threw out the cabin and discovered moldy rags and towels in a hamper in the laundry room. As I looked around this cabin wasn't cleaned at all prior to our arrival. Blood stains on comforter and on rugs that they had hanging on the balcony. Floors and counter sticky and gross. You couldn't walk around bare footed due to the amount of dirt and stickiness on the floors Dishes and Utensils not cleaned. If we wanted to use them we had to wash them first. We brought dinners to cook, but the stove and oven so dirty we didn't want to use them and had to spend money to eat out instead. Outside door knob was held up with electrical tape and a screw that was to long. Swim shorts on top of a ceiling fan. Towels not clean. Showers had hair and just all disgusting. most fire detectors were removed. I had to wash all the bedding before sleeping in them as there was blood on the bedding. Memories were made but not the kind I or my family wanted. Would of been better staying in a hotel. We did reach out to vrbo and still waiting on a response. Yes we took pictures and video to back up these statements.

Tons of space with lots of activities
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It had all the essentials and comfort needed for family of five and our dog. Kids enjoyed hanging out in upstairs loft and garage game room! Cabin is close to multiple great hikes next to river/creek. Kids loved climbing rocks and getting i to water on the hikes. Front of the house is very close to neighbors across the road, but back yard with the patio is very private. Overall, was good stay for spring break! Thanks!
