We wanted to escape our crazy life and this home and location were perfect! We loved the views and peaceful scenery. We went for quiet walks on nearby trails and when it was warm enough we sat by the beautiful creek/river. Beds were comfortable; kitchen had what we needed to make meals. We highly recommend this place for those who love the outdoors and natural settings. Thanks to the hosts for providing the getaway we needed. We’re excited to stay here again.

The setting is beautiful and the home comfortable with the sweetest views. The river behind is more like a babbling creek. We slept well at night - it was peaceful and the beds were firm and warm. We hiked the Water Wheel Trail to see the falls and also tried a few other trails. If you are a hiker or bird watcher we recommend this location. We saw bald eagles and black hawks plus. Payson is cute and has a few shopping and eating places. We are pleased we found this home and look forward to returning soon. Thanks to our hosts AZ Vacation Home Rentals.
