Welcome to Heavenly Hollow! Your Good Dog Friendly Retreat!

We had an amazing family getaway! The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed for cooking, relaxing, and making wonderful memories. It was very dog-friendly, and the goats, stray cows, and javelinas were a huge highlight for the kids!Thank you, Sheila, for a restful, relaxing, and memorable weekend. We truly appreciate your hospitality!

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and grilling. The house was clean and comfortable and we loved playing pool on the pool table. Our dogs and kids enjoyed seeing the neighbors goats and we took several walks near the cabin. You can walk down to the East Verde River in a few spots. We also saw elk in the neighborhood. Great base to explore the Payson area, enjoy the mild weather, and relax! Communication with Sheila was helpful and easy!

We stayed four nights, and enjoyed every minute. Beautiful property and surroundings. Everything we could of needed as far as kitchen and bath were provided. Excelled experience!!!

ProsThe home offers beautiful views and strong potential thanks to its location, layout, and large yard. The front deck is a highlight, perfect for enjoying sunsets. Inside, there are two separate living areas—one upstairs and one downstairs—providing flexibility for groups or families. The host was friendly, responsive, and kept the home clean.ConsAccess: Getting into the property was difficult, which added stress when unloading groceries for the week.Dog “Friendly”: Although advertised as dog-friendly, guests are warned that barking could lead to eviction after two complaints—without refund. This felt unfair since the neighborhood has multiple barking dogs and goats along the fence that agitated our pups. The fencing isn’t secure for small breeds, and dogs with protective instincts will struggle. We managed, but limited our time outdoors to avoid upsetting neighbors.Furniture & Maintenance: Aside from the beds, much of the furniture was broken or in poor condition. The coffee maker stopped working on day three, several lightbulbs needed replacing, and there wasn’t enough silverware for more than eight people, despite the home being advertised for twelve.RecapThe property has great potential but would benefit from several improvements:More private and secure fencing for dogsBetter indoor lighting, upstairs and downReplacement/repair of worn furniture and appliancesA fully stocked kitchen to support the advertised occupancy
