About this property

Hillside Rustic Retreat

Gorgeous log cabin hidden in the tall pines and beautiful aspens located on a one acre hillside property located on a private road. The hillside setting lends to magnificent views while relaxing on the large outside deck or from inside through the tall windows. Enjoy the local wildlife that frequents the property, including a elk and deer. It is only a 20 minute drive to Sunrise Ski Resort for an awesome White Mountain skiing experience. The cabin is close to the Greer Lakes, Lazy Trout Store, private trout ponds and only about one mile from downtown Greer.

Inside are 2 bedrooms, a master suite with king bed and bathroom and a guest suite on the second floor with a queen bed and a full sized futon and bathroom. There are also two air mattresses for additional sleeping. The living room has a new pull out sectional sofa that can sleep two. There is a large wood burning fireplace and firewood is included.


There is a 77 inch OLED smart television with blazing fast Starlink internet and a Direct TV package.
The kitchen boasts all new stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, excellent for home cooked meals.

The kitchen is fully stocked with spices, excellent kitchen knives, well-seasoned cast iron skillets and Dutch oven, a coffee maker, ice maker, and capuccino machine. There is an 8 qt crockpot and a hot water kettle.

There is a laundry room with a full sized washer and dryer with a new vanity and toilet, making this a 2.5 bathroom property. There is a new gas grill on the deck for the barbecue chef.

On the three side wraparound deck, there are eight adirondack chairs, a two person glider, and two rockers. You will love the views into the Greer (Lee) valley and enjoy the six hummingbird feeders and windchimes. The cabin has an attached garage that will house most vehichles, or safely store your motor toys. There are lots of board games stored in a bench and lots of yard type games in the garage.

There are many books, most about Arizona and local history, for your reading enjoyment.

The best part for you dog lovers is that this is a dog friendly cabin. We supply a crate for your use if you need to leave your pup alone. Once you have experienced our Hillside Retreat we are sure you'll come back time and again to enjoy our wonderful cabin. Cabin comes with free dvd rentals. 4-Wheel Drive is required when snow is present.

Amazing views and spacious living in a beautiful cabin

We loved staying here so much. The wraparound deck was where we spent most of our time. Great fun with the kids and dogs, exploring in the wooded areas around the property. We hope to come back soon!

Cozy little cabin

This is a beautiful and cozy cabin! They had everything you need in the kitchen and some basic cleaning supplies. The master bed is too firm and uncomfortable for my personal liking but we loved our stay and we would definitely go back! We saw deer and elk right outside the cabin several times while we were there :)

Perfect in every way!

This is our new favorite cabin in Greer. It's so beautiful; photos do not do it justice. Loved looking at the tall pines right out the large windows. The king size bed is so comfortable and the cabin has everything you need. All could not have been more perfect, and we had the best week staying at the Hillside retreat!

The cabin was very nice. I think it could use a deep clean and organizing, but all in all we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Cabin

This was our third time renting this cabin (a true, stacked log cabin) and in our opinion it’s the best rental in Greer. We’ve even modeled our own under-construction cabin after it. Giant and comfortable king sized bed in the master, kitchen well-equipped, and it faces due South, allowing for the warmth of the winter sun to flood the living/dining room through the picture windows. Our dog loves it too, lots of room to explore, tucked away from the busyness of the Village. The fireplace is huge and (ssshhhh….) there’s (usually) firewood in the garage. This is a huge benefit and is an example of the homey feel to the cabin the owners strive to deliver (vs trekking up to the Lazy Trout each day for a couple more bundles). My husband was especially pleased with the new TV this year. ;) My favorite is the wrap around porch that allows me views of the sunrise wrapped up with warm coffee, listening to the wilderness awaken each day. If you’re on the fence - book it. I’ve not left reviews prior but now that our cabin is almost done and our renting days are ending, I wanted to share how great this rental really is. A true piece of heaven on earth.

Beautiful cabin

This is a beautiful, clean, well taken care of cabin set back from the highway and up a small hill. Gorgeous views...such a wonderful place to get away. Highly recommended.

Fantastic, private cabin!

This place is great, and very private (no other cabins super close by). The back porch looks out over the trees and feels very secluded. The fireplace was gorgeous and everything was very comfortable. They had everything we needed and Greer is a really great little town. I will definitely book this cabin again!

Greer Cool Getaway

Beautiful location, beautiful views, great wrap around outside porch right in the pines. Master suite meets all needs. shower was outstanding. Fireplace with gas log another big plus. Near several lakes and the Little Colorado river. Close to Greer and the Lazy Trout store. Water pressure on the second floor could use improvement

Great Cabin, Horrible Property Management

The actual property is a top notch cabin that is in a nice secluded area. The problem lies in the property management company. As soon as VRBO takes your money you get shifted to another company called Cabin Butler. Cabin Butler proceeds to issue a bunch of threats about the property usage, makes you sign a laundry list of ridiculous requirements, and then is entirely unreachable if you want to speak to them. I tried calling the company 4 separate times over a three day period with not a single response. During the check-in process you must drive into the town to get directions to the cabin. The front desk person was automatically irritated she was having to talk to anyone. She basically handed me three pieces of paper and said your cabin is over that direction. When I tried to ask a clarification question she snapped at me and said all the instructions are in the paper. The cabin also lists as being friendly but it turns out to be pet profiteering. After you book on VRBO you learn the policy is $20 per pet, per night from Cabin Butler. Needless to say I don't call that pet friendly. Nice cabin, nice location, horrible property management. I would have cancelled if possible entirely due to the management company. Anyone coming to the Greer, Az area make sure you watch out for this company.

Beautiful property with gorgeous views and location!

We had an amazing stay at the Hillside retreat cabin. Very spacious and clean. Our 2 small dogs loved every inch of it! Great escape from the August heat in Tucson. The location is very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely recommend this cabin to our friends and can' wait to return. Your pictures do not do the place justice!!!

Beautiful!!

We were ‘pleased’!! The Owners of this Property are Top Notch!! Their property provides everything and beyond!! I will state the following: #1: The Property was semi-presentable (not vacuumed thoroughly, fingerprints on windows, doors, mirrors, etc.), #2: Major Cobwebs Everywhere, Unclean Granite Countertops.... #3: Very Unorganized Instructions and Out of Date Reference Binder!
