Awesome cabin on the E Verde River!

The description of the cabin is right on! The screened in porch faces the river and it's the perfect place to have your morning coffee! The beds are comfy, and the bathrooms and kitchen were immaculate. We were very happy staying in the cabin and hope to come back again!

Quiet nights with fresh air!

Excellent! Beautiful location, the river is right out the back fence. There is an open walkway along the river, which is very nice to walk. The house has a nice layout, a great oven with all of the pans and utensils. The screened in room was the highlight for me, being outdoors with an excellent view, without bugs. Quiet nights with fresh air, it was restful and relaxing, just what I needed!

Serene Oasis with Modern Amenities

Julie and Rand's cottage on the Verde River was a welcome respite from the heat & chaos of everyday life in Phoenix. My husband & I spent 3 lovely nights in Payson enjoying the cool air, cicadas and crickets on the screen porch of this welcoming abode with modern amenities. The entire home (and surrounding grounds) was absolutely spotless and sparkling clean. The nights were cool enough to sleep with the windows open but as the temperature climbed in mid-afternoon we were grateful to have central AC. We were disappointed to find that while tea bags, sugar, creamer and a teapot + drip coffee maker with filters were available, there was no actual coffee grounds. I reviewed the VRBO listing & didn't see it mentioned that we were to BYOC. Not having my cuppa on the porch our 1st morning in town was a big disappointment, made more so as we had already picked up groceries in Walmart the night before. We didn't relish the thought of fighting traffic to get back into town to pick up something that is almost always supplied in vacation rentals. My husband and I thought the bed in the master was a bit on the firm side (even for us), but we both slept well all three nights. The furniture in the living area is well worn and tired. It was difficult to get comfortable on the sagging couch and too soft recliner. Something new and modern would really make that area a delight to convene with loved ones. Overall we loved our stay on the Verde River and hope to return again soon.

Lovely retreat

Perfect size getaway, river is chocolate this time of year, but still a beautiful, tree-lined waterway. Convenient access to lots of northern Arizona lakes and trails plus Payson amenities. Julie was a helpful, friendly host. Highly recommend.

Comfy & Clean

Our family enjoyed relaxing in this cute, comfy and clean cabin. We took walks along the backyard river and drove down the street (within the community) to the flowing river area. We really appreciated the cleanliness of this place. The beds were comfy. The extra bed out on the screened porch area not as comfy but our 19yr old grandson loved it. Liked that location was close enough to town, Water Wheel Falls, and Tonto Natural Bridge hikes. Wish we would have had more time to drive to Mogollon Rim but plan on it next time. If you have a small family we highly recommend this lovely cabin. Oh an communication with Julie, the owner, was good.

Secluded Cabin that backs up to East Verde River

Loved staying here! Short drive from the valley, and a good 20-30 degrees cooler than Mesa! Being alongside a small river, the temps are even a bit lower than Payson. It was very close to downtown Payson, but felt very secluded since you just see one neighbors house and nothing but forest and the river below from the wonderful screened in back porch. Super clean and well equipped for short or long stays. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Family Reunion

Host was very helpful in making arrangements for my older family members. She was always responsive and made check-in easy. Other family members stayed nearby and the grandkids got to fish in the river. Fun was had by all, Thank you!

East Verde River Getaway

This was a perfect weekend getaway for my sisters and I. They have never been to the Payson area and we thoroughly enjoyed the home, the location and the solitude. The house is exactly as described, was very clean, and our favorite spot was sitting on the screened in porch. The only down sides were that there was no cell service for any of our carriers (although we were able to use our phones by using wifi calling) and the Wifi only seemed to work in the living room and on the porch. We had trouble accessing it from the dining room (right next to the living room) and bedrooms. I'm not sure if Wifi extenders in those areas would help but they might be worth a try. All in all though we had a great time spending our weekend here. Thank you for providing your home for others to enjoy!

Down by the river

It's all about the river. Watch and listen to the East Verde in the Arizona room. Walk downstream and meet the cows. Enjoy a cozy evening in front of the gas fireplace. Then get a good night's sleep in this quiet neighborhood. Restful.

Perfect little spot

We are very local to the area but wanted to "unplug" if you will from everything and this was the perfect spot. Cows roaming around, river flowing, friendly neighbors, just overall a nice little spot to get away! Will be coming back to visit.

Quick get away

We came to Payson to escape the 100° plus temperatures in Tucson. It was still warm, due to the AZSummer heatwave, but every degree makes a difference. The cabin was super clean and had everything we needed. The back porch was enclosed and made a nice sitting spot for coffee or happy hour! Nice to see the river right out the back gate.

Perfect getaway for my son and me

This cabin was the perfect getaway for my 13 year old son and I to reconnect, fish and truly decompress. It was absolutely perfect and extremely welcoming. The location couldn’t have been better. We walked out the backyard gate and we were at the East Verde River. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay. We will be back next year!!

Cozy Quiet Serene

The cabin is clean and comfortable and so close to the valley. We had designs on a weekend of adventuring around the high country - the comfortable quiet afforded here both indoors and out made us forget about time or finding something better to do. The path along the river offers postcard scenes at every turn. Hammock chairs at sunrise to watch the forest come alive set the tone for each day. Perfect.

A great property

The property was clean & had everything necessary for a nice stay. The full size kitchen is great and the enclosed porch is very large and it is nice to be able to sit and listen to the birds and the flowing river. I would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Julie or Rand Brown

Host profile image
We have owned several vacation homes in the Metro Phoenix since 2007. Owning another in the cool north is a dream we've had for several years.

Why they chose this property

This property was a vacation home set up by the previous owners. They had excellent reviews and tell us it was easy to rent.

What makes this property unique

Main views look out on the river with no one else in view. There are lovely neighbors but they are not too close. Watch the deer and elk stroll by in the day and starry skies at night.
