Was a great evening, views were amazing! Very clean. Owner lives next door which always makes me nervous, never saw or heard from him but his dog Bean was adorable. Loved the game room! Would definitely go back, the only down fall was the barking dogs across the valley on the other mountain across from us.
Great for teens - plenty to entertain! There were a ton of daddy long legs but after some Tictok education, the teen girls calmed down. You leave them alone, they leave you alone (it's a cabin after all!) Comfortable accommodations, spacious kitchen, enjoyed it tremendously! (Elk everyday!)
We are all in our 70s and really enjoyed our stay. We played cards every evening and corn hole in the afternoon . Nice close location to restaurants and shopping. Enjoyed the elk in the evenings. Very peaceful and relaxing here. Would definitely return.
We looked for a place that would be a little out of town and that would accommodate us and our two dogs. This location checked all the boxes. I worked a couple of days remotely and never had any issues with the Internet. This location also had a great view as it was off the side of a hill. We always love seeing wildlife whenever we stay in Pine or Strawberry, so we were excited when we saw the elk on the property. This property has a beautiful wraparound deck that you can enjoy⊠We played cards and just hung out.. it also has a couple of game rooms in the basement that include ping-pong, a pool table, and darts. We did not utilize the game room this time⊠We did take note that this would be a great place to bring the rest of our family because of these activities that you can take advantage of. In the game room/garage where the ping-pong table was it was also a little concierge service area that had a refrigerator and a portable freezer. The refrigerator had some homemade goodies, sparkling water, and eggs fresh from their farm. TheseIf you so chose to do so. In the freezer, they had different types of bacon that could also be purchased. I thought this was perfect since it was a little out of town and not as convenient to get to a store. We are frequent visitors to Pine and strawberry as they are close to our home in Apache Junction and we will definitely book this cabin in the future Josh Megan and Lynn were all amazing and very responsive.
Where do I start? Amazing views! Beyond comfortable cabin. Lots of room to spread out and enjoy the pines. This cabin sits on it's own street with wildlife freely roaming. Close to Momma Joe's Pizza and Fresh Pies next door. Josh, Megan and Bean were helpful, accommodating and wonderful! We highly recommend these hosts and cabin for your stay. Bring your poochs here! This cabin has it all! Josh and Megan have thought of every detail for your stay from towel warmers to a huge selection of coffee and hot chocolate! They also have a Porch Store for you to purchase homemade goods (Megan is an exceptional baker) or stuff you forgot. Bonus: you are helping support a small and local business! We plan on making this a once a year vacation! Cheers guys! You exceeded our expectations and a thank you to Miss Bean for showing Flower and Flash around!
This was a great place to stay! All 3 of us agreed, this was an awesome place. We had fun talking on the deck, playing pool, dartboard and ping pong. And it was a great base camp for seeing the sights. Wish we couldâve had a campfire, but that was out of everyoneâs control. All in all, it was fabulous!! Thanks Josh, and Meghan for the delicious cookies. We hope to come back someday!
The hosts were amazing in communication and having the location prepared. A special guest greeted us (Bean) and she was a lovely dog to have come and go - we are a dog family. The location was excellent as you woke up and went to bed with amazing valley views and wildlife on the commute in and out. Will absolutely stay there again if the opportunity presents.
What a gorgeous property, something for everyone. As beautiful as the property is inside itâs equally beautiful day and night on the outside-talk about a star show. We had a great time and it was a much needed break from school and home. Transformational experience
The hosts were amazing from start to finish. There was a pretty bad snow storm the day we were arriving and they communicated with us the conditions of the roads until we arrived. The house was exactly as described. Love spending time in the game room. Will stay here again soon. Thank you
The property is nice and clean, comfortable beds, great location with no neighbors except the elks and a host who actually went above and beyond to make our stay even better. Thank you, Josh!
Great place! Family of 5 stayed for the weekend. Kids played on the deck and in the dirt. We saw elk everyday. Beds are comfy and the kitchen is stocked. Great location.
Out daughter just got married in Strawberry and we took a couple of days to unwind after the festivities. This was absolutely perfect. Saw herds of elk enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. The views were fabulous. And the hosts were wonderful.
From start to finish, the hosts were amazing. They were friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and well-prepared. They were responsive to our questions, swift to respond and very understanding.
After some initial questions and messaging with the hosts, we booked through the app with absolutely no problems. Upon our arrival the house itself was wonderful, very comfortable, well-decorated, and surprisingly well-stocked with the little things you don't think of until you get there. The house was beautiful and a wonderful place to relax and enjoy some mountain serenity.
We had a couple more messages for the hosts after we arrived - we had a couple family members arriving later and had some questions that were answered almost immediately.
The hosts live close by in case of problems, but respected our privacy through out the whole visit.
We look forward to coming back for another visit and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the pines.
It's a great unit, particularly for families. Be aware there there is a full flight of steps from the parking/garage area to the main part of the house. You would need four-wheel drive to get to the upper level/back of the house. The third bedroom and game room were on the lower level - so stairs involved. And the roads in to the unit are very bumpy - but worth the drive. We saw elk several times every day. The home was very well appointed - we wanted for nothing. We were 4 retired ladies, so this was all a bit much for us - but we still had a great time. Thanks so much for sharing the home with us.
My dad, brother, sister-in-law, aunt, uncle and my little dog counted the days until our two-night stay here. And it didnât disappoint. After several really tough years that included the passing of my mom, this was the first time my family saw me happy. I can attribute much of that to all of the games provided â taking us back to our childhood of competition for me and my brother. We are currently planning for a return in the fall.
Overall our family of 4 plus one dog really enjoyed this place!
It is very secluded, and has a couple of very steep roads to get to it. So definitely seems like you'd need a good vehicle depending on road conditions. We went in July so it wasn't an issue.
It has a great wrap-around balcony that was very fun to sit on and enjoy the cooler temperatures and amazing views.
Game room was a hit. Kitchen is well stocked. Family room and kitchen area was nice open area that everyone could hang out.
Only complaint was pro/con of the dog friendly nature of this rental, it seemed (smell wise) like another guests pet(s) may have marked in the master bedroom previously.
