Great vacation

There were 8 of us in our group, 4 of which where children. We loved that there was so much space for us to be and it was nice to have the game room downstairs so we could send the kids down to play and we could relax. We loved the location being so close to town and it was nice and quiet. The owners were very kind and quick to respond. We would definitely rent this place again.

Mother's Day in the Pines

We had a belated Mother's Day in the Pines with our extended family. Elk Crossing was a beautiful location and the multi-level nature of the home was good for our multi-generational gathering.

Family Time

We had the best time. The house was beautiful and cozy. It was spacious and had everything we needed. We all enjoyed the game room, but having another level for the adults to sit and relax was convenient as well. The host was super nice and helpful. We went hiking, crawfishing and antique shopping. The kids got up early to watch the deers walk by. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely weekend getaway

My Fiancé, Parents, Brother, Sister-in-law and Baby niece all enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It's perfect for multiple families as everyone has a bed and bathroom on all three levels. The common areas were spacious and inviting and the location is close to great restaurants and cute shops. Highly recommend!

Perfect for multi-family/friends

My family and in-laws enjoyed the house very much. The location is beautiful. The set up of the house was great as the bedrooms were spaced out throughout the 3 story house. There were also cribs and pack n plays which made it very convenient for brining my toddler and infant.

Family vacation

We had a great time at the Elk Crossing home. It was very nice, clean, with lots of space for everyone. The kids had a blast with the foosball table and shuffle board. We ate most meals on the deck and many times saw Elk and deer roaming near the home in the morning and evening hours. Plenty of big trees and a view of the mountains and just being out of the heat of the valley makes it nice sitting outside. There are some pretty good hiking, mountain bike, and UTV trails nearby as well. Lots of people drive their UTVs in that area. We also took our kids to the local school/park which had a field, swings, playground, and basketball. We enjoyed the house

Cannot say enough about how we loved our stay at the beautiful Elk Crossing cabin! Such a perfect cabin if you have kids; they had the best time in the game room. We loved seeing the elk, and missing the cooler weather and the wonderful small town of Pine already. Such a wonderful, fun stay we had!

About the host

Hosted by Michael and Barbara

Host profile image
Barbara and Michael have been going to Pine for over 20 years first with their young children, and now their grown kids and grandchildren. They have more great friends in Pine than they have in the Phoenix area where they have lived for over 40 years. The people in Pine are terrific and very friendly. Barbara and Michael love to be outdoors, motorcycling, off-road riding, fishing, camping, hunting, visiting with friends, and home improvement projects among other activities. Barbara is also an avid quilter and crocheter. She takes their grandchildren to school every morning, just to see them for 15 minutes each day. Barbara is in the Legal field and Michael is in the HR and Payroll field. They decided to purchase a vacation rental home and completely renovate it as a way to eventually retire in Pine. When Michael and Barbara travel, they have used vacation rentals for many years, traveling to Italy, Belize, Norway, Jamaica, Bahamas, Mexico, and other amazing destinations. We hope you have a wonderful time in our newly renovated cabin.
