Higher Ground | Luxury Cabin + Forest Views

Higher Ground Lodge is a luxury log cabin designed by an architect as his personal mountain retreat — and it shows. Built from imported Canadian logs, this custom lodge offers soaring ceilings, a glass wall façade that brings the outdoors in, and carefully curated amenities for an elevated guest experience.

With 4 spacious bedrooms, 3.5 spa-inspired bathrooms (including a soaking tub and walk-in rain showers), a loft media room with a pool table, and forest views from every corner, this home is ideal for families or friend groups seeking a balance of comfort, style, and nature. Located at the edge of a national forest, yet just minutes from lakes and hiking trails, Higher Ground Lodge combines privacy and convenience with true luxury.

🌿ADVENTURE AWAITS
Come here to get "away-from-it-all" while still being "close-to-everything". Perfect for all seasons, the high-country community of Forest Lakes Estates offers access to several lakes in the region, numerous off-road trails and quaint small town shops nearby. Enjoy hiking, fishing, and kayaking in the summer, or cozy up by the fire after a day of snow trekking in the winter. . Willow Springs and Woods Canyon Lake are a short drive away plus you don't want to miss the majestic views of the Mogollon Rim with a scenic drive to the Rim Vista Overlook Trail.

🛎️ CONSIDERATIONS
Considering this is a home, not a hotel, we kindly ask you to treat the space with care. While we strive to address any issues promptly, please note that there is no on-site staff available 24/7. However, we’re just a message away if you need assistance! To finalize your booking, a separate rental agreement is required.

🧳TRAVEL INSURANCE ADVISORY
For a stress-free getaway, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance—especially during winter months when unexpected weather or illness can disrupt travel plans. Reservations become non-refundable after a certain point, so having coverage ensures you’re protected from last-minute changes due to road closures, weather delays, or unforeseen circumstances.
