Fully Equipped Home

The home had everything you need plus treats! Nice coffee, granola bars, etc. Host made a special effort to make everything in the home nice. Be sure to follow instructions on where to enter the door to the home, because it is not on the side of the house with the parking space.

Double booked

The house was nice and it provided great amenities. But we had a situation when we were there. We had already checked in and left our personal items at the house and left for dinner. We received a call from Sima about an hour after we had left saying that someone else had checked in to the property and found our things there. It was a whole fiasco. We were the ones who were suppose to be there and they double booked the reservation. Our things had been packed up and given to the police so we had to figure out everything and where our things had been taken at midnight. Having to deal with tired kids and feeling violated. Sima dealt with it as well as possible but it was still a horrible situation. Things were packed up wrong and things appeared to be missing but we eventually were able to find where everything was put. Nothing like any VRBO experience we’ve ever had.

Roomy home in a great location

We enjoyed our stay in Payson for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The home is roomy, clean, and comfortable. Although the countertop oven wasn’t large enough to cook a turkey, it worked well for smaller dishes. The gas cooktop and coffee pot are nice! We enjoyed the amenities in the bathrooms including soaps, lotions, shampoo, and shower gel. Thank you so much! We would stay again!

A work in progress

This small house in Payson is a work in progress. Construction was underway to convert it into a duplex. This possibly led to furnace shorting out and not working one chilly night. House size was just about right for 4. There was money spent on decorations but not comforts. Lots of art and vases but not one extra blanket to snuggle by the fire. The kitchen is usable but not functional as there was no full-size oven for cooking needs or cupboard space to put food. No directions were left regarding which door to enter, thermostat, fireplace with a blower, or TV. Bathroom was clean but multiple hairs in bathtub. Bedrooms are small with fairly comfortable beds. Only entrance to the property was difficult for some to manage the steep stairs. No fenced yard available for my dog to use.

The property was cleaned extremely well upon arrival and there was water in the refrigerator if it was wanted. There also candy in cool looking containers. The rooms were nice and spacious with extra layers needed in closets if so needed. The TV in the living room was already installed with media for watching shows and movies which was nice and a beautiful neighborhood. The restaurants around the town were all amazing and are worth any bookings.

We had an awesome weekend staying here. Everything we needed; and more, was provided. From the location to the accommodations, all was great. Would recommend more outdoor seating on the front porch though. Look forward to booking this place again! Thx!

Super cute property close to many of the shops and local things payson has to offer

Everything was amazing. I would have loved to have the opportunity to go into the backyard due to the amount of traffic that is in front of the property. Overall though with the traffic challenges I still would give this place 9 out of 10

The host did a great job of staying in communication. House is comfortable and has lots of nice touches. Lots of towels, dishes, silverware and all the things you will need. Very close to town, but still quiet at night. Felt like a home and not a rental.

Very attentive host nice property and amenities

We loved our getaway to Payson . The host was very quick to respond. When I asked where a wine bottle opener might be as I didn’t see one … she had one delivered in 5 min . The place was supplied with high quality towels, bath and body products and even a few snacks . It is a little closer to town then we are used to but that didn’t keep us from enjoying a great time on the patio !
