Cozy Cabin in Heart of Tonto Forest | House in Payson
2 Bedroom House in Whispering Pines, Payson
Just a 90 minute drive from Phoenix in the heart of rim country, you will find this little gem. With the East Verde river running all around you, many hiking trails, rivers and lakes nearby, it is a fisherman and nature lovers dream. Nestled in the trees and backing to the Tonto forest, in the highly sought after Whispering Pines neighborhood, you’d never guess you were just minutes from restaurants and shopping (10 mile; 20 min drive into Payson)!
BRAND NEW MINI SPLIT COOLING & HEATING SYSTEM INSTALLED JULY 2021!!!
Calendar updated through May 2022. For bookings beyond that, please message host to inquire about specific dates.
We welcome small to medium dogs (with a $30 pet fee), however we ask that you keep them out of the lower level of the cabin and suggest that you keep them leashed or close by at all times when outside so that they don’t run off and get lost in the forest.
On any given day, you are bound to see (& hear) many different forms of wild life including elk, rabbits, hummingbirds, hawks, coyotes, bobcats, a myriad of birds, and free-range cows to name a few. And the fishing in the East Verde river - just a 5 minute walk away - is out of this world...fully stocked with trout all year round! Please note that the water level in the river is lower this year (2021) - and in some parts dry - due to the drought that AZ has experienced.

Other things to note
For half of the year, there are federal fire restrictions in place - which means no camp fires. However, there is a private propane fire pit for our guests to use throughout the year - just bring your own propane tank and hook it up. During burn season, we leave a wood burning fire pit out for our guests to use. We just ask that you be sure the fire is completely out before you head in for the night.
The driveway can accommodate about 5 medium size vehicles if you park side-by-side and back-to-back - there is a small inlet in the right of the driveway that can accommodate a small to medium sized vehicle.
Early check-in and late check-out may be available for a $15 fee and must be approved by host in advance of your stay.
As we wish to be able to continue to share our cabin with others, please respect our home as you would your own. You may be charged for any damages incurred during your stay.
