Water’s Edge Retreat, Lake & Creek Views , Kayaks, Firepit, Massage, Sleeps 10
Trade city noise for birdsong at this designer 4‑bed, 3‑bath hideaway tucked between a seasonal creek, a lily‑dotted pond, and Lakeside’s natural lake. Mornings begin with coffee on the deck as herons skim the water; evenings end around a crackling firepit or in the full‑body massage chair that melts travel tension away. Thoughtful details—crisp linens, chef‑friendly kitchen, 75‑inch smart TV, board games, and kayaks ready at the shoreline—create an effortless, memory‑rich stay for families and close‑knit groups.

We had a wonderful time as a family of 7! From 81-16 years old it was everything we wished for and more…easy access to fishing, great views and walking distance to a great sports bar (The Tipsy Hippy). Fun was had by all!
I took my 2 adult daughters and adult granddaughter for 4 days of quiet and a fun time. This house had everything you would possibly need for your stay. Nicely furnished, very clean and quiet. Eveything worked properly, instructions arrived in a timely manner. No problems whatsoever. The natural beauty of the back yard was very pleasant.We would definitely stay here again.Rebecca
We enjoyed our time in pinetop and had fun at this spot. The kayaks were fun to use on the lake and we rode our bikes to a couple trails to enjoy the outdoors. We'd stay here again. Thanks!
We had a wonderful time at this Lakeside retreat. Plenty of room, amenities along with many extras included in our stay. We enjoyed Kayaking, (kayaks provided) fishing, hiking and treks into town. At night we made s'mores at the fire pit and played foosball, board games, etc. Loved the relaxed vibe. Accessing the property was quick and easy. We will likely be back!
We had windy cold weather but went to the Petrified forest and stopped at the Casino.Evenings were spent watching tv because the dining room chairs were not comfortable at all.Overall it was a relaxing quiet trip but not as planned because we couldn’t sit around the table and play games as a group.
From the time I inquired about availability of the property to my daughter leaving her teddy bear and Pete mailing it back to me, his communication with me prior to and after our stay was beyond. So much room for the 5 of us and just enough for us to do. Thank you Pete for your attention, service and opening up your home to us.
Excellent location on the spillway and just adjacent to Rainbow Lake. Ample sized home for fishing party of 10. We must have caught, no joke, 300 fish. Bring plenty of bait.
We had a wonderful stay! The property was clean and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. It's a great location close to Rainbow lake. We hope to be back soon.
The Cabin was very clean and comfy, myself and 4 freands went golfing every day, then just relaxed and made dinner every night, also a little fishing. Great location and very comfortable Cabin
Randee and Pete are truly exceptional hosts! They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their attention to detail and the helpful information they provided about local sights and restaurants made a big difference. Thank you both for your warm hospitality — it made our experience even better!
We had a wonderful time at the lake house! Our kids 5 and 7 loved all the activities in the house. It was wonderful to see them playing board games, relaxing and enjoying lake. I really appreciated the hosts attention to detail when it comes to having “extras” like shampoo/conditioner/body soap as well as batteries for emergencies. We would highly recommend staying here to others and we would book this location in the future!
This cabin was perfect! Easy fishing in the pond right next to the home, and the lake is just a 2-minute walk — our teens loved kayaking across it. The cabin was spotless (the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in), very well stocked, and had plenty of space for family movie nights, board games, and relaxing. Beds were super comfortable, and The Bistro at Annie’s (just a 5-minute walk) was amazing. The owners were excellent communicators and so gracious. Highly recommend!
Our stay was perfect. We had three generations joined together for enjoyable and memorable family time. The home accommodations were perfect. The hosts have gone above and beyond to ensure your stay is enjoyable and memorable. That is exactly what we, as a family, were hoping for. Thank you and we will return again.
Nice! It came with everything shown online. The hosts were on top of everything. This house has great group space and our group enjoyed the massage chair.
Beautiful cabin with a short walk to Rainbow Lake. Cabin offers 4 kayaks for use, which our family loved. Kayaking and fishing was a daily must for the kids. In the mornings and evenings we enjoyed walking the trail behind the lake. Location was close to all our favorite Pinetop hotspots. When we weren’t out exploring or enjoying the local establishments, the house was a relaxing place to be.
I had a nice relaxing getaway. What a beautiful home. My favorite part was sitting on the porch watching all the birds and listening to the water. It was peaceful and just what I needed. My dad came up to stay one of the nights with me too and his favorite thing was the massage chair!
We enjoyed our stay and the home was as advertised. We really liked the kayaks; thank you for having life jackets as well. Not sure what the beds are but we all thought they were too firm. Did not like the mattresses. The shower in the master bath probably needs to be replaced; just sprays water everywhere. Not a great shower. Overall the house was very livable with plenty of space.
We had a great time here! The house is absolutely beautiful. We had 10 people staying and we didn't feel like we were crowded AT ALL. House was stocked with just about everything needed, even appliances. We did have kids ranging from 7-16, that are very active. I wish I could give it a 5 star rating!! It seems permanent residents in the community are not very fond of renters with children who like to play outside. There is not a good space for that. We felt the need to leave the community to play. There are a few other nearby places for them to run around. Most of the area surrounding the lake is privately owned which could be another challenge if you want to fish or be by the water. Other than those few little things we really enjoyed our time here.
Gated community with beautiful home and surroundings. Great patio that overlooks the lake. House is full of everything you would need from sugar to firewood for the fireplace.
We thoroughly enjoyed our three week stay from the moment we walked inside this beautiful and spacious house to the moment we had to leave. It had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was fully stocked. The lake is across the street and we were able to kayak most days. My 10 year old son went fishing for the first time and caught a huge fish! The weather was just beautiful! The house is so welcoming and peaceful! We felt right at home! I would highly recommend this place!!
