About this property

High Country Escape | Forest Border • Fenced Yard

  • Welcome to High Country Escape, your peaceful mountain retreat nestled against the national forest in Heber-Overgaard. Whether you're escaping the Phoenix heat, planning a romantic weekend, or exploring the Rim Lakes with your pup, this cozy-yet-spacious two-bedroom cabin is the perfect place to relax and recharge.

    Inside, you’ll find a warm open-concept layout with leather recliners, a wood-burning stove, and a fully stocked kitchen for cooking in. The fast WiFi makes it easy to stay connected or stream your favorite show. Outside, unwind by the propane fire table, grill up dinner, or watch for wildlife right from the deck — past guests have even spotted wild horses!

    The fenced backyard is ideal for pets and kids, and a jetted tub awaits after a long day of hiking, exploring, or simply soaking in the silence of the pines.


    🌿ADVENTURE AWAITS
    Come here to get "away-from-it-all" while still being "close-to-everything". Perfect for all seasons, the high-country hometown of Heber-Overgaard offers access to several lakes in the region, numerous off-road trails and quaint small town shops. Enjoy hiking, fishing, and kayaking in the summer, or cozy up by the fire after a day of snow trekking in the winter. . Willow Springs and Woods Canyon Lake are a short drive away plus you don't want to miss the majestic views of the Mogollon Rim with a scenic drive to the Rim Vista Overlook Trail.


    🛎️ CONSIDERATIONS
    We welcome your furry friends! Up to 2 dogs are allowed with a $100 pet fee. Considering this is a home, not a hotel, we kindly ask you to treat the space with care. While we strive to address any issues promptly, please note that there is no on-site staff available 24/7. However, we’re just a message away if you need assistance! To finalize your booking, a separate rental agreement is required.


    🧳TRAVEL INSURANCE ADVISORY
    For a stress-free getaway, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance—especially during winter months when unexpected weather or illness can disrupt travel plans. Reservations become non-refundable after a certain point, so having coverage ensures you’re protected from last-minute changes due to road closures, flight delays, or unforeseen circumstances.

Cozy Cabin, Pet Friendly

We had a great stay at this cozy cabin in Herber. It was nice to sit outside, enjoying the cool weather and views of the forest area. Our pups enjoyed the fenced in back yard and exploring the neighborhood on walks. Would definitely stay here again!

Cabin

We had a great time! The cabin is super cute and we were there when it was cold, and the heaters in the house worked super Amazing! The best thing was having a fenced yard for our dogs so they could go out without leashes on. We would definitely recommend!

Wonderful Getaway

My family and I had a very relaxing weekend here! The most exciting part was watching an elk graze in the clearing behind the house early this morning. The home was very clean and comfy. The bear themed decor is a really nice touch! Check in and out was a breeze. We just love the feeling of being away from it all and yet, while just a very short drive away, we can grab a bite at a restaurant or go shopping. We had a great time! Thank you!

Couples Getaway

My husband and I stayed at this cabin for 5 nights in July 2024. We brought our two dogs for relaxation and to escape the three digit heat from the valley. The cabin is situated toward the back of the property so it is quiet and private. We enjoyed cooking on the propane grill outside and relaxing around the propane fire pit. We spotted turkey and deer from the back porch. The host checks on you regularly. We gave our overall stay 4 stars based on the following: The beds aren’t comfortable in the downstairs or upstairs rooms. We couldn’t sleep past the sun coming up due to no curtains on the windows. The blinds are on the windows in room areas but don’t block light. The living room and kitchen areas have no blinds or window coverings so anyone from outside can see you inside, especially at night. The backyard has an ant problem that we let the host know about. The cabin back porch had spider webs all over chairs in a corner and lots of spider nests on ceiling. If you have small children inspect beds before going to sleep. The cabin probably isn’t sprayed for spiders or bugs regularly. Tips: Make sure you bring toilet paper, paper towels, and hand soap with you. Heber is absolutely beautiful to stay in. We ate at our favorite Bear Diner again. We are already planning another trip to Heber for August.

Wonderful property and location. The fenced backyard and bordering the National Forest where we could walk out the backyard with our dog Cassie is exactly what we were looking for and determined our decision for our stay. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed watching the cable TV! The weather was wonderful and even enjoyed the rainstorm one afternoon! If I owned the property I would put better lighting in the kitchen ceiling and down stair bathroom. Really a nice property!

Peaceful Retreat

The property is beautiful and the location is outstanding. We really enjoyed the comfort of the house and the neighborhood that it is in. We went to Woods Canyon Lake and Fools Hollow Lake to fish, and it was the perfect spot for getting back-and-forth. Thank you again for a wonderful weekend.

Nice place, good location

Overall, our stay was excellent. The cabin was the perfect size and had everything we needed. The back deck was a great place to hang out and chill. There are a handful of lakes within 30 minutes. We went to two of them with our dogs and both were really nice to walk around. Thank you for an excellent July 4 getaway from scorching Phoenix!

We liked that the posted pictures matched the cabin exactly so we felt like we got what we paid for. The kitchen had all the basic necessary cooking equipment and not a lot of stuff that wasn't necessary. The fenced back yard was perfect for our dogs to run around in but make sure you don't leave your pets, or kids, alone in the back yard due to it does butt right up against forest land. The property management was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. The only thing we wished for, that we did not have, was kindling. The property offers firewood bundles for sale, and we had two bundles delivered, but then had to come up with our own kindling. We would definitely stay here again.

No secure place for garbage. Bear got into ours and garbage was all over the fenced in area. The furniture is worn. Dirty and warn floor mats in kitchen and bathrooms. Low rated products included - toliet paper (which we had to purchase) tissues - NO bath soap, just small tubes and our stay was for 7 days. No disinfectant sprays for kitchen counter tops or bath. Kitchen inside drawers disorganized and dirty. Under the kitchen sink was visibly dirty. A vacuum was left in the living room FULL with floor dust/hair, etc. Carpet in downstairs bedroom just nasty. When we stay at a VBRO or even a hotel, there are an amount of cleanliness that most are accustomed. The downstairs bedroom closet had a roll-away bed and we had the smallest of room to hang our clothes in the closet.

Dog Friendly Heber Cabin

My wife and I along with our two huskies, Lola and Ginger, spent two months in this great cabin with a fenced in yard. The cabin is up against an open forest, so we got to see wild turkeys, deer and other small wildlife. The area offers some great lakes with some fantastic trout fishing. The cabin is fully stocked with any kitchen utensil you could want down to even coffee filters. All rooms have A/C. The management company is easy to reach should you need them and kept the house cleaned throughout our stay. We are preparing to travel around the country for the next several years before choosing our new home. Living in this cabin made us realize we really like the Heber area so keep the light on, we might be returning :)
