About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Privacy! One & 1/2 acre with wrap around deck. Backs the National Forest.

Looking to get away for the weekend or for a week? This 1800 sq. ft. cabin is nestled among tall Ponderosa Pines, some 100 years old! A taste of paradise is only about an hour and a half drive from Scottsdale.

The cabin is two stories, the main story being on the second
floor. There are two bedrooms upstairs, one with a queen bed
and the other with two twin beds. Upstairs there is also a
bathroom, family room and kitchen.
Downstairs there is another family room with another queen futon,
bathroom and laundry room. This is the perfect set up for two
couples or two families as it allows each some privacy. There are
two televisions and DVD players, one in the master bedroom and the
other in the downstairs family room. I have several movies you can borrow. WI-FI is also available.

The deck wraps around the entire second floor so you can
choose to sit in the sun or shade whichever you prefer. There is
a gas BBQ and a hammock you can use. The cabin has three
fireplaces; two wood and one gas. The wood ones are in the
upstairs family room and master bedroom and the gas one is in
the downstairs family room. There is a small fee for wood or you
can bring your own. Don't forget to bring marshmallows to roast!

The cabin sits on an acre and a half of land and backs the
National Forest. It is quite private and quiet. If you walk
into the forest about a quarter of a mile at dusk and you are
quiet and lucky, of course, you could see elk, particularly
in the summer and fall. I have seen up to 20 at a time! At the
very least, you are certain to hear bugling in the middle of the
night if you wake up.

I have a book there that gives you all kinds of ideas as to what
to do; hikes, fishing, swimming holes, restaurants, shops, etc.
Everything you need is there. All you need to bring is your
clothes and food.

Great location
Incredible location. Quiet with lots of visiting animals like elk, squirrels, and birds. Upstairs is perfect set up for a family. Inside circular stair case is less than ideal for smaller children. Overall nice cabin with amazing location.

Great escape to the pines!

Beautiful woodland retreat
My partner and I (and his dog) had a wonderful stay at this lovely get-away, a place which was well-kept, with plenty of amenities, which the delightful bonus this time of year of getting to see elk very, VERY closely! Mere feet from the property. That was so cool! If I had to make one concern known, it was that a nice shower can really help make a good vacation a great one, and the shower heads on the property offered mostly an aggressive mist, which was simultaneously a little staggering, plus the fact that a mist in the cool weather is extra chilly!

Beautiful getaway
Rhonda was very communicative and descriptive in the check in/out process. The cabin was perfect for myself, husband and two kids. The wrap around porch gave beautiful views and we were able to watch several elk walk below us! The forest behind the cabin was easy to get to and made for a full day of adventures!

Peaceful beauty
Enjoyed our stay immensely. A little bit of snow made it wonderful. Enjoyed watching the birds, the squirrels and feeding some elk that came through. What an experience. Crank up the fireplace and enjoy nature and the forest views. Very easy to get to but feels almost like you are in the middle of nowhere.

Amazing house and location
We loved spending time at this property and would love to go back during the summer. Rhonda was very communicative and helpful when we lost power for a day because of a snow storm. The two wood burning fireplaces were such a treat and it made the romantic getaway so much more special. Absolutely love the small town feeling of Pine and will recommend this property to anyone that wants to get away from city life.

Nice cabin for weekend getaway.
My wife and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. Pine is such a wonderful small town to visit. We love staying being on the forest boundary and took a hike to the nearby meadow. The cabin was clean and had all the necessary amenities. I would have liked to have an electric or stove top kettle as we drink a lot of English tea and hot drinks, but it didn't ruin the trip. We just had a pot on the stove going whenever we were around.

Cabin Feel - Outdoor Bliss
Towering trees surround the cabin making you feel like you are far away from civilization; but if you need a store/restaurant they are minutes away. Elk and squirrels visited every day and were fascinating to watch from the "upstairs" balcony leaving them space and keeping us at a proper distance. The wrap-around balcony lets you experience the outdoors from all angles and the views were fantastic. We would recommend this place, especially to those that want to swing among the trees in a hammock.

We hope to return
Our stay at Rhonda’s home was wonderful. We wanted a quiet, comfortable and peaceful few days away, and could not have been happier. Animal life surrounded us as we sat on the deck. Elk, woodpeckers, birds of all kinds, squirrels eating and playing… so enjoyable. Morning hikes , behind the house was great. Our dogs loved smelling everything. Communication with Rhonda was easy.

Elk, birds, squirrels up close
This is a wonderful property if you enjoy nature. The wraparound porch is amazing. You can sit and watch elk and all kinds of other animals. Such an amazing experience. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would say is a slight negative Was the spiral staircase was a little narrow and if you have any sort of disability it might be tough getting up and down, but there are other stairs on the outside as well, so shouldn’t be an issue.

Fun weekend in snowy Pine, AZ
Rhonda's cabin was perfect for our family's weekend trip to the snow. There was plenty of snow on the ground but the roads were plowed and the cabin's driveway was shoveled. We loved seeing all of the elk in the yard, and it was fun to watch the squirrels and birds enjoy the feeder on the balcony. The cabin backs up to the forest and feels secluded but is conveniently close to town and restaurants. It was well equipped with everything we needed, and very comfortable. Rhonda was available if we had any questions or issues.

Very relaxing weekend
Had a great three day weekend with my family. Saw many elk, deer, and squirrels. The property backs up to the national forest. We went for a short hike up to a large field and saw about half a dozen elk wandering around. We really enjoyed the fireplace and sat next to it and played games each night. Would definitely recommend the home. Thanks again Rhonda!

Great get-a-way!
What a wonderful cabin in the woods! Clean and well cared for with everything you could need. Close to the local grocery store but still tucked away in the pines. Beautiful surroundings and a great spot to hike behind the cabin. It’s a great set up for families and a very comfortable space. Our older dog loved the outdoor view on the second floor, although the spiral staircase to the lower level was a challenge. Pine is a great little town with some great lunch and dinner spots. We had a great time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home Rhonda!

Good
The cabin is very cute and has everything you need. We loved the wrap around deck. Even though we were in a "neighborhood" the cabin was very private. The area is beautiful. On the downside, the cabin could have been a little cleaner. Sticky stuff on the kitchen floor, hair on the furniture, living room rug and bathroom rugs, (I shook them off myself, and I scrubbed kitchen floor). Overall, it was a good place to stay for the price.

Relaxation in a beautiful setting
This is the second time my mother and I have stayed at this cabin and we plan to make it a habit. The cabin is set back on a deep property with many trees which makes it feel very private. Deer and Elk frequently walk through the yard as well as other wild life. The cabin is cozy (yet spacious) with all the creature comforts of home. Rhonda is great! She is quick to respond and easy to work with. Lisa B.
