Did not receive the code to get in the cabin as stated in the email until I called the host directly. Also, had some broken furniture and detached hanging hooks from the wall. And lastly, the heating system did not reach the second floor nor was an extra heater in there to help with the coldness in the room at night time.

My stay at this property fell well short of expectations, as the physical condition of the rental did not match the listing photographs.Upon arrival, we encountered several significant maintenance and safety issues: Interior Disrepair: Portions of the ceiling were failing, and interior doors had visible holes. Appliances: The stove was completely non-functional. Additionally, the swamp cooler—which was inadequate for cooling a two-story, three-bedroom home on a 96 day—emitted a loud, continuous squeal. The ceiling fans provided little relief from the heat. Exterior Neglect: The front yard was heavily cluttered, obscuring the walkway stones, and the backyard was unmaintained with scattered rocks throughout.When the cooling unit malfunctioned, the owner was unable to resolve the issue and instead asked if my boyfriend was handy. He provided a ladder and asked my boyfriend to fix the swamp cooler himself, offering no assistance or acknowledgment of the effort. The repair was only temporary, and the loud squealing quickly returned.Overall, the lack of upkeep, non-working amenities, and absence of proactive management made for a very uncomfortable experience.And frustrating.

Great property
This property was EXACTLY what we were looking for. We were looking for a property near the Mogollon Rim that had easy access to the forest. The cabin was clean with plenty of room for our group. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the pots, pans, and utensils we needed. The owner called before we checked in to make sure we had all of the information we needed.
The kids in our group really enjoyed running around in the forest and playing the board games that were available in the cabin.
The last day it looks like the new cell phone tower went on line as we suddenly had 5-bars of service!
We plan to come back again!!

Comfortable & quaint cabin, perfect for families with dogs
This cabin was the perfect stay north of Payson for my family and dog. Between the heater, fireplace (pellet stove), and space heaters in the rooms, you'll be warm and there are plenty of beds.
One hidden gem about this place: the backyard has a fairly tall fence (to keep your dog in) with a small gate to a
massive open wooded area.
The owner of the place was nice enough to call in the morning with some tips. The cabin is conveniently located just 15 mins away from snow and lakes near Greater Tonto Rim and ~20min from food in Payson. WiFi was strong enough to get work done.
The only (minor) drawback I could think of is that the property mgmt co charges a pet fee that's not listed on VRBO, but otherwise a perfect stay! Will def be coming back next time we're in Payson :)

stages of disrepair
heater fan motor bearing going bad. very loud while heating. unable to sleep with it on. found mold in cabinet base bottom the dryer was out of order just a few things but being able to have peace and quiet in the house was only obtainable. if we did not run the heater and it being winter time it was pretty cold without it property manager was available and did explain why the dryer was recently broken. said the heater was just serviced but definitely fan motor needed to be replaced otherwise the cabin was nice. area was quiet for the most part as well

Extremely Misled
The owner of the property was rude on the phone, the wifi info provided was incorrect, no cell service, the POC never answered her phone, the property was overgrown with weeds, both patios were covered in dirt, spider webs and bird poop, the upstairs has no AC vents for air flow and the check out list basically made it so they didn't have to do anything besides the laundry while we paid an additional days worth for the cleaning fee. Will not stay again.

Would Recommend!
It was beautiful, my family and I had an amazing time! Located in a calm quite area and great amenities, it was really comfortable and the pellet stove warmed up the place really quickly. It was really clean upon entering and everything was organized and ready for us to use and really enjoy our stay, would recommend!

Mi è piaciuto: Pulizia, servizi, condizioni e dotazioni della struttura e comunicazione
Indoors were beautiful, spotlessly clean, nicely appointed. Appreciated the Keurig coffeemaker and pods. The beds were terribly hard; that could be improved. Upstairs was too warm. The rest of the house was lovely temp with the fans going.
Outdoors need a lot of tidying up, both front and back. We immensely enjoyed the back deck but had to sweep and wipe down the table first.
Overall we loved our stay there. It was quiet, comfortable and restful. We will return!

not again
we would not rent this house again-----the front door screen was broken, the gas grill top was broken and there was no dish washer. The stairs leading to the upstairs area and the upper bedrooms do seem to meet any kind of building code. The upstairs bathroom smelled like mold and mildew. The outside and kitchen eating area were amazing.

Cabin review
First the good, the manager and owners were very accommodating and responsive to us. They seemed very kind! It was awesome that the cabin was available when we had to cancel our camping trip last minute due to the rain. It easily accommodated our group of 8 for sleeping. There were plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. Unfortunately it was not what we thought. There was a septic tank/smoky odor that was really bad. Recommend a pest service as there were a lot of spiders. The neighborhood was not what we thought it would be but it was quiet.
