Head up to our creek cabin!

Nested in the trees, on Christopher Creek, enjoy the opportunity to leave your troubles behind in comfortable summer temperatures. Create memories with your friends and family while sitting (napping?) on the deck as the water bubbles by. If you prefer to move around, there are many hiking trails outside the cabin door, also a short 15-20 minute walk to local restaurants.

This double A frame cabin has one bedroom on the main floor with a full-size bed and a set of bunk beds. The TV room has a pull-out couch, the loft upstairs has a Queen. Two adorable bathrooms with claw foot bath tubs for leisurely soaks, (one has a shower). Towels and sheets are provided.

Kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, blender, waffle maker, coffee and tea provided, basic spices and condiments.

There are two sitting areas on either side of the house allowing separate time for kids and adults; the yard is fenced, dogs (maximum 2) under 30 lbs. each permitted. The fence is pretty short in some area's (~30") which should be taken into consideration.

The temperature can fluctuate during the day in the summer months. We have two split unit HVAC units if it gets warmer in the afternoons. For cooler weather, the same units provide heat.

Your children are welcome, please note the deck and spiral staircase to the loft have open railings and are not child-proof.

We offer WiFi, the TV is available to play DVD's with a small selection provided, or rental options available in the supermarkets in Payson. The Roku is available in guest mode to allow sign-in to your favorite streaming services.

Verizon has a cell tower in the area providing cell service to the neighborhood.

If you have an electric car, we have a NEMA 14-50 plug available for charging.

Amazing Getaway

We spent three amazing weeks here and loved every minute. The kids loved the cool bathtubs and playing in the creek. I loved the trees, the comfy beds, and that the kitchen was well-appointed. We all loved the weather and seeing all the animals and the friendly neighbors.

Cabin Stay

We had an amazing time at this cabin! We saw elk every morning from the front yard and elk in the evening in the creek. We were able to walk to the little market and the Landmark as well. The cabin was perfect for our little family and we enjoyed our stay tremendously!

Don't come here (it is too nice we don't want the word to get out)

You definitely don't want to go to this idyllic, quiet spot right next to the creek, with a perfectly cozy place to get away from everything. The perfect weather, communicative hosts, and nice accommodations are not something you should bother yourself with because it would be a shame if we were unable to come here regularly. Avoid this place so we can keep coming back every year.

Fun family trip location

Cute cabin and easy access to wildlife and the creek. We had a great time inside and outside. The cabin was clean and well kept. We got to easy elk in the front yard and sit on thr back patio and listen to the creek. The only improvement could be the mattress on the full bed in the room downstairs. Other than that we loved everything about our stay!

Cool and relaxing escape from the city

Lovely home with well stocked kitchen, wonderful deck in the cool pines. Each morning I enjoyed the burbling brook with my coffee, knitting, and the sound of birds. We took hikes in the area and relaxed in the evening after making dinner in the well appointed kitchen. Soaked in the tub after hikes. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic stay. House was clean, and also a lot bigger then the pictures made it seem. Creek is right outside of the back patio. Elk wandered the roads and even hung out in the front yard eating off the trees. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect retreat from the heat

My husband and two adult daughters stayed in this lovely cabin right on the creek for a weekend. The cabin had plenty of room for the four of us, was very well equipped and was very clean. We appreciated that the outdoor furniture was covered as it was raining when we arrived. It allowed us to be able to enjoy the deck after the rain stopped. The cooler weather, beautiful surroundings and sounds of the creek were exactly what we were looking for.

Cozy gem

Co•zy. “giving a feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation” is the perfect description of this little gem. My husband and I stayed for a few days mid-week and it was super quiet with a family of elk that roamed the neighborhood. We sat on the deck and listened to the creek, went to the nearby lakes and cooked meals in the well stocked kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay. The hosts were great to communicate with and we would highly recommend staying here if you are lucky enough to find it open.

Relaxing Weekend

Love the location of this cabin, it’s right on the creek. It was nice sitting on the back porch in the morning to enjoy the creek while drinking my coffee. Also within walking distance to a few restaurants and the little store. There’s a little bridge to cross the creek a little ways down the road. Very close to several lakes and hiking trails. We went paddle boarding at a few lakes in the area while here. Went for walks in the evening and saw elk every time.

Peaceful Birthday Retreat

We came up from Gilbert for my birthday. All I wanted was to wake up to the sounds of nature and a gurgling creek. This home did not disappoint. It's a quaint little place right on Christopher Creek. We spent our entire weekend on the deck enjoying the sounds of birds and flowing water by day and listening to the thunder storms in the evening. There's a little store within walking distance in case you left something at home. There's also a couple of dog-friendly restaurants close by. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay. I don't think the photos do the home justice.
