A Lovely Mountain Chalet

The main benefits of “Hodge Lodge” are LOCATION and VIEW.
LOCATION: Our house is about 1 mile from stores and restaurants. It borders Tonto National Forest at the end of Pine View Dr. on the eastern slope of Strawberry Mountain. The area is secluded and peaceful with lots of wildlife.

VIEW: The view is really nice. You see the whole valley and have a clear view of the Mogollon Rim. When you are on the upper deck you are nearly at tree top level and nothing will block your view. The night sky and stars are breathtaking.

The house has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms that will sleep 6 in beds and for additional sleep options we have a futon in the fireplace room and sleeping pads in the loft.

The 3rd bedroom is an apartment which has a private access from the back of the house. It has a King size bed, bathroom with shower, microwave, refrigerator, private patio, WiFi, 42 inch flat screen with satellite TV, and two recliner chairs.

This spacious chalet has (2400 sq. ft.) of living space and almost 2000 sq. ft. of outside decking nestled in the forest. It is a very relaxing and peaceful place. Everything you would need to prepare meals or relax is furnished.

This house is located at the end of a well maintained gravel road. It is one of the highest locations in Pine situated on the east slope of Strawberry Mountain. The view is spectacular. The upper level deck raps around the house for 360 degree view of the area. Our living room is within feet of the Tonto national forest. You would be totally surrounded by tall Ponderosa pines. There are lots of wildlife small and large to view. (Elk, Deer, Coyotes and a variety of small game)
We are within walking distance (about 1 mile) to antique shops, restaurants, bars, library, community center and playground. Pine/Strawberry host several seasonal arts and crafts festivals, rodeos and other special events. There are many hiking, mountain biking and riding trails. Go horseback riding, golfing, fishing or swimming in the creeks/rivers. Pine has much to offer such as antique shops, restaurants, specialty stores, arts and craft festivals and other special events.
You would be 90 minutes north of Phoenix
157 miles from the Grand Canyon
5 miles from the north side of the Mogollon Rim
13 miles from Payson which has golf, airport, Restaurants, Movies, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and lots of locally owned shops.

The Hodge Lodge was voted best of all previous vacation rentals by our entire group. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, gorgeous views from large decks. So many comfortable spaces to enjoy! The property is close to hikes, quaint shops and taverns. Pictures dont do it justice!

Nice stay, rained in the afternoon making the swamp cooler ineffective with high humidity. Lower suite had no cooling air except for a portable oscillating fan making the higher temperatures quite warm in the suite. Appliances were dated but the view was outstanding. Forest critters were abundant and enjoyable to watch and admire.

Nice little getaway in the mountains

We enjoyed staying at the home. The kitchen had most things we needed and it was very nice that there was a kids gate on the stairs and no stairs off the large wrap around porch. It made it safe for the kids to play. We wished the AC worked a little better but the host answered some questions about how to get it to work more efficiently very quickly.

Great place with lots of nature!

The Hodge Lodge is a wonderful place to stay! It is a quiet area with lots of room to roam, and we saw lots of wild life outside of the kitchen window! Going on the deck at night and looking at the stars was breathtaking. Lots of kitchen supplies is provided, as well as towels and extra toilet paper! There are many locks, so you can feel extra secure in this chalet.

Pine - A Great Place To Recharge

Pine is a nice, small community with plenty of things to do within a short distance. Our rental was comfortable, and accommodated our party with room to spare. Nestled atop a hill, the views from the wrap-around patio were spectacular. It was most certainly a welcome rest, away from the hubbub of urban life. And the pace of life was how set by you. Some days were filled with activity, others were just staying around the house soaking up the fresh air and looking for wildlife from the comfort of your balcony. All in all, we wanted for nothing while staying at the lodge. I’d most certainly go back for another relaxing break.

Beautiful and Peaceful Get Away

I loved all the different views. I couldn't get enough. I loved having the private balcony, I drank my coffee there every morning. The only thing that in the end worked out in our favor, but wouldn't have if everyone who was supposed to come, came that might be helpful to mention is that the only way to get to the Master bedroom is through the kids room... which worked out well becuase it meant our son(5) was right next to us which made him feel comfortable. Beautiful place.
