Best for
This cabin best suits families and small groups who want a private, well-equipped base near lakes, trails, and year-round recreation, with room for everyone across 3 bedrooms plus a rollaway bed. It’s also a strong fit for travelers who value outdoor downtime—especially the private hot tub, patio setup, grill, and fenced yard. Pet owners looking for a smoke-free stay with a dedicated outdoor area will also find it well matched (1 pet max; fee applies).
Travel tips
Plan on driving: the cabin offers free parking with a 2-vehicle garage, 2 driveway spaces, and free street parking, and many nearby lakes, trails, and restaurants are a short drive away. Show Low Regional Airport is about 8.2 km from the property, which can be convenient for fly-in trips. Note that neighbors are relatively close rather than fully secluded, based on guest feedback.
What guests say
Guests repeatedly describe the cabin as exceptionally clean, well kept, and accurately represented. Reviews often note that it’s very well stocked for comfort and day-to-day needs, making it feel like a thoughtfully prepared home rather than a barebones rental. The fenced backyard is a standout for families and pet owners, and several guests mention returning for repeat stays. A minor trade-off raised is that the property does not feel fully secluded because neighboring homes are close.
