Mountain Views and Great Fire Pit

1 Bedroom home, with great long-range mountain views. Quiet wooded lot. Great fire pit area. Close to great trails for hiking, ATVs. The house is located on a dirt road. There is parking for at least 4 cars, but a large trailer may be difficult to park.
The master bedroom has a king-size bed. The great room has a Murphy bed with a very comfortable queen size mattress. And, there is also a queen size soft bed. The laundry area also has s a queen-sized air mattress that you can use on the queen size sleeper sofa to help with comfort.
Near the fire pit is a patio with table and chairs to enjoy the views.

There MAY be a FIRE BAN in place when you are interested in coming. Please check the Tonto Forest web site for alert ban status at https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/tonto/alerts-notices
I will have a sign on the fire pit if I know there is a ban in place. But, it changes often, according to the weather, etc. I do not control the state fire ban laws. Safety is important!

Great location. Not well-cleaned. We found socks hanging out of the couch and under the dresser. The TV screen was filthy as were the main windows.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. This home was exactly what we were looking for and the house was so cute. The owners little touches and beautiful decor made us feel very welcome. You could tell that she really cares and wants her guests to feel welcome. I would recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a quiet getaway. Just dont get startled by the roaming cows like I did. Lol. I will definitely stay here again!

Great stay

My husband and I loved staying here. It's an adorable 1 bed 1 bath cabin. The location is amazing and the views are to die for. Close enough to town but far enough to feel secluded. It's literally on a mountain which made the views absolutely stunning.

Arizona getaway

This was our first trip from the Midwest to Arizona. The house was in the mountains and had an amazing view every morning and evening. The firepit was perfect for a nightcap. The house is filled with details from the local stores. It is small and beautiful along with exactly what we were looking for. We drove in a different direction every day and enjoyed coming back to the house for evening relaxation. The house is exactly what was expected and would recommend any of my friends to visit.

It was second time at this beautiful house. Very clean, comfortable, and has everything you need in a house. I'm looking at dates to stay for a 3rd time. The owner is great as well and always answers questions when they come up. Great communication too!

Beautiful Granite Dells View

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy, quiet home. The owner and co-host are hospitable and kind people. We loved the patio and firepit which has a spectacular view of the Granite Dells. The home has everything you need to cook meals and even do some laundry if needed. It was nice having the combo gas/smoker grill and dine outdoors on the patio. It is located very close to amenities and many outdoor adventures. All that is needed is to show up and have a relaxing time!

Nice little place!

Neat place. Nice location-we liked that it felt private, in the woods and yet close to town. Cozy inside. Loved all the unique wood. The dirt road was super bumpy and icy, but it was extra snowy/rainy when we stayed. Quite clean- minimal dog hair. Never needed to contact the host during our stay but she was very quick to respond when we booked and had questions beforehand. We appreciated just having to use the door code when we arrived. Very easy. Pretty nice place- we'd recommend it!

Thoroughly enjoyable

The house was so much more then what we expected. We were impressed with the condition of the home, and especially the Bear and Elk decor throughout.. There was plenty of supplies for our needs, and the location in Star Valley was just what we were looking for. Close enough to Payson for food and shopping, but far enough in the Pines to make it a very picturesque view from the home. The fire pit and view from the patio was awesome. The owner was accessible and found out that she is an author. My wife purchased her book, and is really enjoying it so far. We would definitely stay here again

BEAUTIFUL

I never use the term OMG, but OMG. The house was beautiful inside and out. It was in a perfect location. Everything was so close. Grocery stores, restaurants, hiking trails. I could go on. One issue came up, and the problem was taken care of right away. The inside of the house was comfortable. You'll have everything you need inisde. The bed in the bedroom was really comfortable. The house was so clean. Thank you, Faye!! I look forward to staying in your house again real soon.
