Fantastic trip
Our 3 night stay was fantastic . The furniture and decor was amazing and very comfortable. Each morning we had coffee on the deck to plan our day. Perfect distance from Payson area making it convenient for restaurants, antiquing, thrift shopping and hiking. Hope to go back again.

Great stay
So cute! Super comfy king sized bed. I thought of tying the mattress to my car & bringing it home. Ha. We were lucky enough to see Elk both evenings. So cool! They walked by so closely. Awkward & majestic! Good clean space & we didn’t need for anything! Hope to return some day! Thank you

Arizona getaway
This was our first trip from the Midwest to Arizona. The house was in the mountains and had an amazing view every morning and evening. The firepit was perfect for a nightcap. The house is filled with details from the local stores. It is small and beautiful along with exactly what we were looking for. We drove in a different direction every day and enjoyed coming back to the house for evening relaxation. The house is exactly what was expected and would recommend any of my friends to visit.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. This home was exactly what we were looking for and the house was so cute. The owners little touches and beautiful decor made us feel very welcome. You could tell that she really cares and wants her guests to feel welcome. I would recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a quiet getaway. Just dont get startled by the roaming cows like I did. Lol. I will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Granite Dells View
We enjoyed our stay at this cozy, quiet home. The owner and co-host are hospitable and kind people. We loved the patio and firepit which has a spectacular view of the Granite Dells.
The home has everything you need to cook meals and even do some laundry if needed. It was nice having the combo gas/smoker grill and dine outdoors on the patio. It is located very close to amenities and many outdoor adventures.
All that is needed is to show up and have a relaxing time!

Thoroughly enjoyable
The house was so much more then what we expected. We were impressed with the condition of the home, and especially the Bear and Elk decor throughout..
There was plenty of supplies for our needs, and the location in Star Valley was just what we were looking for. Close enough to Payson for food and shopping, but far enough in the Pines to make it a very picturesque view from the home. The fire pit and view from the patio was awesome.
The owner was accessible and found out that she is an author. My wife purchased her book, and is really enjoying it so far.
We would definitely stay here again

I never use the term OMG, but OMG. The house was beautiful inside and out. It was in a perfect location. Everything was so close. Grocery stores, restaurants, hiking trails. I could go on. One issue came up, and the problem was taken care of right away. The inside of the house was comfortable. You'll have everything you need inisde. The bed in the bedroom was really comfortable. The house was so clean. Thank you, Faye!! I look forward to staying in your house again real soon.

Great Escape!
Our only regret about our stay here was that it was too short. We drove up for a weekend from Tucson to get out of the heat, and it was lovely. The location was just perfect for exploring the Mogollon Rim, Tonto Natural Bridge State Park, and the cute little towns on the way to and from. This is all we had time for in such a short period. The vacation home is really cute. The pics don't do it justice. We loved the bear theme that is all over the interior. We couldn't count them all. Great stargazing from the patio. Lovely sunsets. We'll be back. This was just what we needed. Also loved that we were able to bring our Golden Retriever!
