This property is amazing. I can’t even explain the views and there’s no way for the photos to do it justice. It feels like you’re floating. Every room is incredibly comfortable and the teenagers enjoyed the game room tucked away from the main floor. We played shuffle board and poker every night.
The neighborhood is quiet, which really added to our peaceful stay, and the stars at night were magical. Comfy beds. Cold A/C and all the furniture was actually very comfortable- even the outside seating, which is rare for a rental. Couldn’t have asked for anything more except a longer stay!
Some tips:
They aren’t kidding when they say the driveway is steep. It’s also easy to miss, so go slow coming around the bend or you get to take a scenic tour of the rest of the neighborhood. The “loop” is through the whole subdivision, not just around the house. (We only made that mistake once and the drive was lovely!) It’s two flights of stairs from the garage to the main floor, so keep that in mind for groceries or coolers and luggage. But you can’t have the views without the height, so it’s totally worth it. The grocery store in town is not amazing, so I suggest bringing everything you need with or stopping in Payson for groceries. We didn’t want to leave the house, really, but did venture into the lavender farm, a hike in Tonto Bridge, and a lunch at THAT brewery. All less than 10 minutes away from the house.
Would absolutely stay here again.
