Absolutely wonderful property with an excellent location.

Perfect place for a relaxing family vacation. Can’t beat the secluded location and my 4 year old loved playing in the east verde river just a short walk from the house. Will be staying at The Nut House again!

Great place for a family of 4

My husband and I stayed here with our son and his friend. We had a really wonderful time. The cabin was very cozy, clean and well equipped. I enjoyed the kitchen which was set up very well. The boys played board games and we had s'mores out at the firepit under the stars. The location was very nice as it was out of town, but close enough to sites that we took in. Thank you so much for the lovely home away from home.

Sleepy Hollow's Nut House

Cute, cozy, and comfy house. We all loved the convenience of having a well-supplied kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave, stove, and a nice sized fridge. The community was small and quaint but close to a creek, hiking trails, and campsites. Beautiful scenic drive on dirt road in the mountain area was awesome. The girls want to come back when there is snow. Loved our stay.

Beautiful but far

Beautiful area, there were pigs, cows, elk, and lots of birds. The property is very clean, inside and out. It is sort of stocked, some essentials were missing that we were told would be there, like soap and shampoo, but there were extras as well that we weren't expecting. The upstairs got very hot and I didn't see an AC unit up there. We stayed in mid-May. It's not very central to anywhere, but is within easy driving distance of Payson and Pine and the Mogollon Rim. It is very close to other houses, but the neighborhood is very small, and there is a small creek (East Verde "River"). Overall, very enjoyable for us as we wanted the natural atmosphere and there were no kids.

Nice little cabin in the woods.

The cabin was clean and in good condition. We had a fun time staying there and didn't run into any problems. The hosts had all the check-in and check-out instructions lined out in an email and in a binder at the cabin. Super easy process. We would stay again.

Spring break escape

Great place in the forest trees

Cute A frame cabin. Picture is true. Houses are close together though. We woke up to free roam cows outside our kitchen window. Kids loved it even though they werent the "wild" animals they wanted to see. We did see several cute fat squirrels at the property & elk in the town of Pine. Lovely little community. Very quite. We came to get out of the heat of the city, but of course the weather was unpredicable & we got a cold front. I do wish the circut breaker fuses were heavier as we had to flip it a few times due to the use of space heaters that were available (thank goodness they had one for every room). Granted it was a little over ran with greenery, but summer is just ending and Im sure its hard to keep up. Love that they had most everything you would need. More wash cloths would of been nice but we made do with 2. I didnt remember reading that the master bedroom is upstairs. It was not easy to get up there as the stairs are steep and tiny & my husband kept hitting his head on the ceiling due to the A frame. Thank goodness they have a full bed downstairs i could stay in as I had a hard time up the stairs.. We still did truely enjoy our stay. Thank you for sharing with us.

Nice little getaway!

We enjoyed our cozy stay. Everything is supplied. (except spices. Bring your own). Beds are comfy, bathroom is nice. Neighborhood has nice people. We took walks every day. However if you want to explore the wooded area to the water wheel falls, you need to drive. Also there are many boulders to get there that are dangerous. So keep that in mind. If you are an older person, there are stairs to the master bedroom. Bathroom is on the first floor. There are also a few restaurants in Payson that are delightful! Duza’s and La Sierra Mexican food were our choices. To sum it up, it was an enjoyable stay!

Charming A-Frame away from it all.

Visited with my wife and 2 adult sons. Quaint, yet no shortage of room. The property's kitchen is very functional and the grill provided was very nice. One minor complaint would be the A/C situation, but following the hosts instructions everyone slept comfortably.

Cozy cabin in quiet neighborhood

We loved this cabin! It was in a quiet neighborhood outside of Payson, perfect jumping off point to explore the area. It was clear that the owners really seem to love the cabin and use it themselves -- not just investor managers who never set foot inside. Our first night we walked down to the river, and saw elk walking around the neighborhood.

Quiet Family Retreat

The property is quaint and well maintained. It had a cozy vibe that is far enough away but not too far away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. We enjoyed exploring the nearby river and a small campfire in the provided fire pit. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with the common utilities needed to make meals.

Great little cabin inside and out!

We had a great stay! This property had everything we needed. Everything was clean and in good condition. Lots of great hikes and opportunities to get outdoors nearby. We walked along (and in) the Verde River right there in the neighborhood, and we spotted some deer. When the rain rolled in we made great use of the provided internet and video streaming services. We would definitely stay here again!

Great area

There is lots of wildlife. Water wheel was a nice hike the area is beautiful and green. Just far enough off the highway to be quiet and not to far away to be a long drive to town. The fenced in yard is great for parking the vehicle. We enjoyed all the board games available for when we were at the house. The kitchen is nice and spacious. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the house as we had planned out our days prior to arrival but would definitely stay again

Nice spot!

Was a great cabin…only issue we had was the air conditioning….we were hoping to have a place to keep cool during the summer day but the ac was only in the living room…all the bedrooms were quit hot until about 9-10pm. Our master upstairs was about 91 until the sun went down.
