About this cabin rental

Tucked away in the Whispering Pines community of Payson, this custom-built log cabin offers luxury amidst nature, with all the amenities you need to make your stay comfortable in a rustic elegant setting. With 2 acres of land with the Verde River running through it, you can enjoy fly fishing and blackberry picking from the comfort of your own backyard. The wrap-around deck is the perfect spot to relax and unwind, including a fire feature, a 42-inch gas grill, and breathtaking views. The backyard is your personal playground with a lower deck, hot tub, TV, cornhole, ping pong, and a grassy soccer field.

THE LODGE
The Lodge is where the magic lives. With 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a den featuring 2 twin beds and a queen sleeper sofa, this spacious cabin blends rustic warmth with every modern comfort you could ask for. Step outside and the river becomes your backyard: kids catch crawdads while adults sip coffee on the wraparound deck. Spend the afternoon soaking in the hot tub, perfecting your swing at the ping pong table, or firing up the pizza oven for dinner. Indoors, the open kitchen and cozy game room offer endless ways to relax and reconnect. Whether you're lounging fireside or going head-to-head at air hockey, every corner of the Lodge invites ease and togetherness.

Amazing family vacation place

We had a nice, little family vacation at this beautiful place! There was sooo much to do for the whole family! We enjoyed the hot tub, air hockey and the hammocks were amazing! We had javelina and deer come visit, as well as some squirrels. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the cabin was gorgeous! I really appreciated the consistent communication, and everyone I spoke with was so kind. We will definitely be back!

Our family had a great time. We enjoyed the multiple amenities, comfortable beds & furnishings. Along with having alone space if needed. We all got the opportunity for some well needed R&R! Left refreshed and ready to tackle life again. We would stay again.

This review is to help prepare. Not to be negative. Firstly, there were SO many piles of cow poop on the property that it made it less than enjoyable with letting the kids run. The poop is everywhere....even on the banks of the creek. I get it, cows roam, but the pictures show so much beautiful green grass. Not green, laden in cow pies. The time we went must have been a perfect storm, because in addition to the cow pies, we had the pleasure of black worms with legs everywhere. On everything. We googled it and they are a leaf eating beetle. Literally on everything. The ground, the chairs, the rocks. The exterior of the house could have used a cleaning and blowing before we got there. We ended up finding the blower and doing it ourselves....also the oven in the house has a broken panel, so when you turn it on you have no way to know if it's actually on. We did get it to work, but it was a shot in the dark. Things to prepare for: the house is not equipped with board games, so if you want to play them you should bring. Sound travels in the house. It was okay for us but good to know. The primary bedroom triangular tub has a shower with no curtain. The lower level uses space heaters, okay but good to know. The outdoor fire pit is lovely and there's plenty of seating everywhere. Be prepared with crocs for walking the property and in the creek to avoid the poop. The home is so beautiful though and the creek's lovely.
