Absolutely Perfect!

This place was perfect for our family Labor Day weekend trip. The cabin has everything you need and the property has amazing views. Although it seems like you are in the middle of nowhere, you are close to the lake, a bar & restaurant and a grocery/hardware store.

My family has stayed at over 20 properties using VRBO. I have never seen more caring people then the owners of this property. They were always there to answer every question and never let me down. Thanks again for caring about my family. We will be back

Roosevelt fishing getaway

Home was designed awesome for any family and outdoor type!! Had a huge yard with a firepit. Plenty of parking for multiple vehicles or any toys or trailers you might have! We were able to park our boat with ease right close to the house. The Host was by far the most accommodating we have ever had…. They let us check in early in the morning the first day and even let us check out later on the last day! Would definitely rent and recommend this house again! Thank you!!!

Awesome house!

We loved our stay at this Tonto Basin house. It was a perfect lake home away from home. Once you past the LITERAL creek with water in it (no problem for us with our truck and boat, but if there are rains this could be a challenge) the house was right around the corner and very easy to spot. Inside everything was clean and nicely decorated in chic rustic lake cabin. It had everything we needed and we can't wait to go back! A perfect place to go back to after a great day on the lake.

Great view, Beautiful home!

The home is perfect for a getaway! We went for the Payson Rodeo. The house was perfect for the 6 of us. We want to go back possibly for fishing, hunting and trail riding. Great location for so many outdoor adventures! The homeowners are great! We were there during a monsoon storm which caused concerns about the creek level. Stephanie was awesome! She kept in contact and shared a website we could use to monitor water levels. Her concern for our safety meant a lot! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend the home for your next getaway. Pam

Weekend lake, Mountain getaway

Our stay here was amazing. The house is super nice and homey and the views it provides of the surrounding mountains are amazing. You’re minutes from the lake and the mountains for recreational vehicle use. It is minutes from the pumpkin center bar if your group wants to get food or socialize and the atmosphere is very peaceful. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
