Go swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, fossil hunting, crystal collecting, spelunking, off-roading and horseback riding right near the cabin or simply relax on the large deck or by the fire!

A Special Time
At the end of summer our family likes to take an end of school celebration vacation. This cabin was perfect for us, plenty of space inside and a spacious patio outside. Tonto Creek is just on the other side of the road where the kids played and our fisherman got to fish. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The cabin is very clean and well stocked. I have to mention the queen size mattress isn't the best so if your back is out it won't be happy. And there is a flight of stairs to get up to the cabin/deck/entrance so if you don't do steps well it could be an issue. But other than that, we had a wonderful time and thank you so much for accommodating all our "hoopla." Blessings!

Beautiful Place!
Great location to escape from valley heat. Everything was as advertised
Host was responsive (even had new coffee pot delivered when i had trouble with the one here). And our dogs loved it (most important with a dog friendly property), they give it 5 stars.

Family time
Great property next to a resort we've stayed at previously, but they dont allow pets. The cabin has flexible sleeping with two nice bedrooms plus room for the kids all over. The provided coffee was a treat. Nice experience over all.

Great cabin getaway
Nice cabin really close to Phoenix for a quick getaway from the heat. Tonto creek is just infront of cabin maybe 60 feet away we caught trout and crayfish the water was cold and very nice clear for the most part.
