Luxury Verde River Lodge w/ Hot Tub, Pizza Oven, Game Room, Bar & Fire Pit

Tucked away in the Whispering Pines community of Payson, this custom-built log cabin offers luxury amidst nature, with all the amenities you need to make your stay comfortable in a rustic elegant setting. With 2 acres of land with the Verde River running through it, you can enjoy fly fishing and blackberry picking from the comfort of your own backyard. The wrap-around deck is the perfect spot to relax and unwind, including a fire feature, a 42-inch gas grill, and breathtaking views. The backyard is your personal playground with a lower deck, hot tub, TV, cornhole, ping pong, and a grassy soccer field.

THE LODGE
The Lodge is where the magic lives. With 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a den featuring 2 twin beds and a queen sleeper sofa, this spacious cabin blends rustic warmth with every modern comfort you could ask for. Step outside and the river becomes your backyard: kids catch crawdads while adults sip coffee on the wraparound deck. Spend the afternoon soaking in the hot tub, perfecting your swing at the ping pong table, or firing up the pizza oven for dinner. Indoors, the open kitchen and cozy game room offer endless ways to relax and reconnect. Whether you're lounging fireside or going head-to-head at air hockey, every corner of the Lodge invites ease and togetherness.
