Kachina Pueblo, a great place to stay

At the peak of the mountain, with the best views in Payson and a full private guest house. Your well behaved dogs are invited too. The amenities include a small gym and a sauna. You have full access to the house and the entire 1 acre property. You are at the top of the mountain with a 360 degree view for miles. Like the Kachinas, we are perched atop one of Payson’s highest points. We are on a private neighborhood road, with a small section of the road that is unpaved on the drive up. Quiet and secluded with a wonderful view of Payson and the surrounding town and mountains.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Cozy mountain getaway, well off the beaten tourist traps, nestled high on top of the hill as the last house at the end of the curvy road up to a breath-taking, picturesque view of the lush valley brimming with wildlife below. Well-lit porch leads to front door that opens to reveal a spacious, well-lit living room with an oversized television, books, games, puzzles, and amusements for all ages. The dining area accommodates 6; a dated but well-furnished kitchen includes every necessity you could want or need, from pasta to jelly! Upstairs holds a spacious loft that could sleep 3, lined with bookshelves and a half bath. Master bedroom at the end of the hall holds a king-sized bed, dresser, armoire, 2 night tables, chair, and cozy reading area. Plenty of extra linens were provided. The master bath was well lit with a vintage skylight illuminating the full bath with shower, vanity, and toilet. All amenities were provided. Paper was even folded as a "bow!" Small gym located downstairs & a cute dog run. Age-related issues already stated in other reviews. Use caution on the deck when enjoying morning coffee with the elk! And watch footing on loose tiles in kitchen and bath. Those desiring to use the grill may wish to bring their own lighter. A very secluded spot to appreciate nature.

This house has a great view! Unfortunately the house needs attention & maintenance. The carpet needs cleaning,. The stove was missing two knobs & was not usable. The refrigerator was not available when we arrived. We put everything in the freezer till the fridge cooled off. There’s no light in frig, an overhead light in kitchen. There was clothes in washer & in dryer, so it wasn’t usable. The bedding & bath linens were stored across from washer/dryer in garage. where there was rodent feces all around. House needs attention. Cleaning & repairs. Like I said, had a great view and saw wildlife.

The Kachina Pueblo was an absolutely incredible retreat for my family and me. The spectacular views and privacy - WOW! The fact that the space is pet friendly completed the stay for us. We hope it is available again in the future and would be grateful if we could return. Chuck and Mimi are wonderful host and the sauna and gym access certainly was the icing on the cake.

We enjoyed the stay. The place was clean and comfortable. We chose this location as we were hunting close by and did not feel like roughing it. We had no problems. It is at the end of a road overlooking Payson..very nice. Note that the residence was probably built in the early 80's (sorry I am an architect and details) and we loved the period textile art.
