About this property

Family-sized, quaint cabin on the edge of the US Forest

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful cabin get-a-way near Fossil Creek. Nestled at the north end of Strawberry, AZ, adjacent to the U.S. Forest, this 1/2-acre lot provides lots of space for hiking, wildlife watching, or relaxing on one of two decks. The 2 bdrm cabin includes a loft with 3 private queen beds. The mudroom also allows for stunning views in cabin comfort.

This cabin is our dream come true. We are furnishing it for our comfort as well as yours! We have tried to create a space that we are proud to rent and you’ll be proud to stay. We have enjoyed finding cabin decor treasures and even framing vintage or vintage-inspired cabin wall art. If you feel like you’re home, our hope is that you’ll become return renters and then part of our cabin legacy.

You may park up to two cars in the front of the cabin and one on the cement driveway (in front of the garage).

Please enjoy the local restaurants right here in Strawberry, such as the Pie Bar, with dozens of flavors of empanadas, served hot all day. There are many more restaurants in nearby Pine. If you love antiquing or junkin’ we have many options in Strawberry and Pine. Stop by the quaint stores along Hwy 87, in Pine.
There is a grocery store in Pine, Ponderosa Market, if you need anything or you can head down to Payson and have a few more options, including WalMart. Download the All Trails app for trail maps and information. Fossil Creek, previously closed after a large fire, is now open and is magnificent. Consult All Trails or other reputable trail maps for information.

As you can see, this cabin and community are a part of the forest. Please be careful and responsible to protect this cabin, our neighbors and the wildlife. At this time, we do not have an usable outdoor fire pit. Once we can build one that is safe for you and the forest, we will add that. In the meantime, no outdoor fires. in addition, we don’t have a valid fire permit.

If there is a anything that you wish we had here for you, please let us know. If there are any problems with your stay, we would appreciate the opportunity to address those issues. Our goal is is to earn your trust and your business. Your experiences and reviews will help others to find us and make their own memories here.

Please make yourself at home but remember that this is our home, so we would appreciate you treating it with respect so that it will be here for you and others to enjoy.

We sincerely hope you enjoy your stay!

Great Family Place In Strawberry.

This is a great cabin for the family weekend getaway. The family had a great time. The upstairs loft was perfect for the kids to have their own space. Restaurants and shops are just a short drive away. The property manager was very helpful and responded very quickly when we needed anything.

Beautiful cabin in wonderful Ponderosa pines

We really enjoyed our time here - everything we needed was provided and more! The porches are wonderful and we were able to walk right out to the National Forest from the back porch. We saw elk and deer. It was everything we wanted from our forest getaway. And, the beds were very comfortable!

Holiday weekend stay

We had a wonderful experience staying at this cabin for a long weekend. The location is great being backed up to national forest, the area is very quiet. The host responds right away to any questions you might have. Our kids really enjoyed the upstairs loft and areas to explore around the property. Cabin is very clean and quaint. We will hopefully be returning for another stay!

Just Perfect!

Our recent stay at this property in Strawberry was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were completely blown away. The cabin's beauty far exceeded the already stunning photos in the listing – it was truly a picture-perfect escape.What truly set this rental apart was the owner's unparalleled attention to detail. It's clear that every aspect of the cabin was thoughtfully curated with guest comfort and practicality in mind. We were amazed by the sheer level of consideration, from the clearly labeled light switches and strategically placed kitchen items to the helpful instructions throughout the property. It was like they anticipated every possible need!Our kids absolutely adored the loft, which became their own private little haven. It was the perfect space for them to play and unwind.Beyond the cabin itself, the owner was incredibly responsive and attentive. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a flawless stay. We were so grateful for her generosity in accommodating our request for both early check-in and late checkout, which made our trip even more enjoyable.This VRBO rental is a true gem. If you're looking for a peaceful, luxurious, and perfectly appointed cabin getaway, look no further. We can't wait to return!

Relaxing Getaway with all you need

Place was cozy not too big not too small. Was clean and has almost everything you need. Views were amazing. We even had the cutest little squirrel that hung out on the porch. The only thing missing for us was a broom or stick vac, my little one got into a scuffle with a pastry and the pastry won. I tried to clean up best I could with a paper towel but would have been better with a broom of some kind.

Very nice and relaxing

The owner was very responsive to any needs and helped us have a wonderful stay. We particularly liked how the kitchen had all of the utensils you will need to cook etc... I would note that the coffee maker is a Keurig. We took coffee for a traditional drip coffee maker but were able to pick up the Keurig cups at a nearby store. Overall, we loved our stay and would return. We enjoyed going for walks and seeing the wildlife.

A Place to Call Home

I have stayed at many VRBOs and I have to say this was one of my favorites. The owner was super responsive and communicated before and during our stay. The cain is not huge, but the layout is great for a family with kids. My grandkids loved the upstairs loft. My only suggestion is to add a full size coffee maker. The K-cup single maker is good but not so much for a family of coffee lovers. I loved that the property borders the forest as we got to see a herd of javelinas walk by. We will be back for sure!

Perfect blend of location and updated amenities!

We rented this adorable a-frame on Labor Day weekend with our friends. Each family has two kiddos and the upstairs loft with cute beds and a foosball table was an instant hit! The hosts have done an incredible job of labeling items in the kitchen for easy navigation and everything you need is there. Communication before and during was great and location can’t be beat. It’s at the end of a street backing to open forest, quiet enough to see elk crossing behind the house a few times a day but right down the street from popular Strawberry eateries. Thank you for a fantastic weekend, we will be back!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We grew up in Southern California so mountains were always a backdrop for us and just an hour or so away. After moving to central Illinois for work we found ourselves really missing the mountains and the forests. A final transfer to AZ brought us back, closer to family and to the mountains. We knew it was time to make the move to purchase a cabin and start building family memories close to home. While we’d like to spend everyday at the cabin, we have a few years left until retirement. In the meantime, we are happy to share our little piece of Heaven with you.

Why they chose this property

We believe we found, after months of looking, the prefect cabin to really immerse yourself in the forest. With ponderosa pines soaring right through the front deck and large picture windows in the keeping room, you feel like you’re up in the trees. You might enjoy herds of elk or deer roaming down the road, watching the various birds, and even watch and squirrels trying to outwit the bird feeder. This cabin was cozy enough with two bedrooms and two bathrooms but we wanted to accommodate our grown daughters and their spouses so we turned the roomy loft into a bunkhouse with three built-in, super comfy queen beds. Each “bunk” has room for storage below, a little cubby and light and has access to its own outlet for overnight phone charging.
The cabin is located at the end of a small street and backs up to the national forest. You can put on your hiking boots and head into the forest for a leisurely stroll or a nice hike. You’ll see game trails and even more wildlife. Enjoy having a meal, playing board games or build a puzzle on the large dining room table with ample seating.
We fell in love with this cabin the minute we walked in and we hope you do too!

What makes this property unique

This cabin is the prefect blend of rustic and comfy. The bunkhouse allows for sleeping accommodations for the kids but still leaves space to enjoy the foosball table or a game. With its own large window, the bunkhouse has plenty of natural light. The main bathroom has a claw foot tub and plenty of rustic decor. The master bath is a blend of farmhouse and cabin, with a natural stone walk-in shower. The keeping room, right off the kitchen, is a prefect reading room and will soon be equipped as a breakfast nook. Wide open spaces and the forest just steps away will make this a favorite for you.
