Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Our Strawberry A-Frame (@strawberryaframe) is a cabin-style A-frame getaway in Strawberry, Arizona, set among the ponderosa pines of Tonto National Forest. It’s positioned for a quiet, nature-forward stay with forest views from every room and a strong stargazing atmosphere in cooler weather. The property is smoke-free and supports self-contained stays with full-home essentials.
Layout & Sleeping
The cabin uses a split floor plan with a first-floor master bedroom plus a first-floor guest bedroom. Upstairs, a loft-style bedroom includes two twin beds, along with an extra nook with beanbags designed for games and lounging. This mix of bedrooms and loft space suits groups who want separation as well as a shared hangout area.
Amenities & Comfort
Comfort features include air conditioning (wall unit on the first floor), heating via a new gas furnace, and a wood-burning stove/fireplace option for a more rustic winter feel. The kitchen includes an oven/stove and microwave, and the home also provides a washer. Connectivity and entertainment are supported with free Wi‑Fi and cable TV, plus free parking on site.
Outdoor Living
A standout feature is the huge deck and patio setup, designed for grilling, relaxing, and enjoying 360-degree forest views. An outdoor grill supports cookouts, while the surrounding setting emphasizes peaceful evenings and dark-sky stargazing. As a pet-friendly cabin, outdoor space is part of the appeal for travelers bringing a dog.
Location & Nearby Eats
The cabin is just miles from the Fossil Creek Wilderness Area and the Arizona Trail, making it a practical base for hiking and outdoor days. Nearby dining includes Fossil Creek Farm (about 1.8 km), The Strawberry Lodge (about 2.3 km), PIEbar AZ (about 2.4 km), and Bandits Southwestern Steakhouse & The Dirty Cowboy Saloon (about 2.5 km). Additional options in the area include Old County Inn (about 6.9 km), Old County Burger (about 6.2 km), The Early Bird Cafe (about 6.7 km), and THAT Brewery & Pub (about 7.3 km).
Best for
This A-frame is best for couples, families, and small groups seeking a quiet, nature-based escape with strong indoor/outdoor living—especially the large deck, grill, and forest views. It also suits hikers who want quick access to Fossil Creek Wilderness and the AZ Trail, while still having a full kitchen, Wi‑Fi, and climate control for comfortable downtime.
Travel tips
Plan for a car: the property includes free parking and nearby restaurants are within a few to several kilometers, while airports are much farther away (e.g., Flagstaff Pulliam Airport is about 82 km). If traveling with a pet, be prepared for a forest environment and check outdoor areas on arrival. For the best experience, schedule evening time on the deck for stargazing and quiet neighborhood ambience.
What guests say
Guests commonly highlight the cabin as a quiet, peaceful getaway with a well-maintained interior. Cleanliness of the kitchen, comfortable beds, and the overall “cute” character are frequently noted, along with newer-feeling appliances. The deck and forest views are a major draw, with nighttime stars standing out as a memorable feature. Less-positive feedback centers on outdoor upkeep at times (overgrowth/weeds affecting use of some exterior areas) and occasional concerns that can come with wooded settings, such as critter noises.
