This is an amazing property! We were so glad to find it again. The new owners have added some great touches like the gas fire pit in the back yard and the air hockey table. If you are bringing a large family to Pinetop, its your best option

What a blast!! I planned our family vacation at White Mountain Retreat. There was a total of 18 of us (13 adults, 5 children). There was plenty of room for everyone not only inside the beautiful 2 story house but outside. King size beds were comfortable Bunkbeds were also comfy. Grandkids enjoyed ping pong table, playing air hockey, and basketball. Kitchen was well stocked. 2 large refrigerators and 2 diswashers were perfect for our large group. The weather was cool and rained one morning which was so peaceful. We honestly never wanted to leave. Thank you Peg for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We hope to return next summer.

Perfect house and property for a big group

This house is THE BEST for staying with a large group. Lots of bathrooms, chairs everywhere for eating and visiting (both indoors and out) plenty of parking space, and a large kitchen. The blacktop in the kitchen is so great for making piles of pancakes. The hosts are so gracious and have been wonderfully communicative the last few times we stayed. We're so happy with our experience here we are repeat guests!

Beautiful Property!

We had our church youth retreat at this wonderful property! The home was amazing for housing and feeding 18 teens and 7 adults. The home is inviting, spacious and comfortable. We were able to sit all together to worship, have teachings and prayer groups. The teens loved the game room and hiking the area and the kitchen is a dream for cooking for a large group. The owner is kind and hospitable. We were blessed graciously with our stay!

My group of friends had a great time at Pegs! The place had enough space for a big group of adults and all the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed and the double fridge and double dishwashers were very nice. Peg was quick to response when I had questions and made sure we had all the information we needed. We would all stay here again!
