Cute and cozy house perfect for the whole family

This house was exactly as described. We loved every minute of our stay. The house had everything you could think of for a weekend get away. Right outside of Payson, it gave the perfect feel for a weekend in the woods. This friendly community was great for our kids to be outside able to play and go for a walk by the river. We’d love to visit this home again!

Great Holiday Getaway

The cabin was perfect for the Christmas holiday - spacious with plenty of entertainment offerings. We are a family of four with two dogs and were very comfortable in the cabin. The kitchen is updated and worked well for cooking family meals. Neighborhood felt safe and the nearby hiking trail was a bonus. Verla was very helpful upon arrival and the detailed instructions in the cabin made our stay seamless.

New years getaway

Property was more in a tighter neighborhood than we expected. With cabins very close. But neighborhood was very respectful and quit. The host gave amazing perfect directions to the cabin and was easy to communicate with multiple ways. Layout of the property was fun, the game room and hot tub were a hit! Thank you and have a great 2025!!

Wonderful Family-Friendly Property

Our family of 4 plus our pup had a fantastic stay at this property! The cabin was very clean and well-equipped with towels, linens, and dishes/cookware, etc. A family with kids will never be bored at Holiday Hide-A-Way- the basketball hoop, pool table, dart board, pinball machine, arcade machine, hot tub, and horseshoe pit were a ton of fun for my sons. Not to mention, access to the East Verde River is less than a 5 minute walk from the property, and it is really beautiful; on one side of the water bridge the river is more like a creek in some places and my kids loved playing in the water. Verla was very easy to communicate with, and she prompltly responded to any questions I had. Holiday Hide-A-Way is an amazing value for the price when considering the location and all of the amenities provided- we definitely hope to return in the future!

Amazing relaxing getaway

My family stayed here during spring break for a few days and had a wonderful time. Communication was wonderful throughout our stay and there were plenty of directions left in the home to guide us on working everything. We did bring food and coffee with us even tho there was some there for our use. We always try to leave more behind than we take just to be considerate. We enjoyed playing some games, sitting on the back patio, soaking in the hot tub, adventuring into town, hiking the tonto natural bridge, and spending time together as a family. One thing I will mention is making sure you get directions on your phone before leaving the house because there is absolutely zero cell service if not connected to the WiFi lol.

This place is sooo beautiful!! The property is backed up right to a river and there's several secluded spots if you keep traveling/walking down the trails. The house/cabin was perfect! So much to do! The game room downstairs was a lot of fun. The fireplace was super cozy and got it pretty warm. The beds are cozy and kitchen was fun to cook in. My puppers had a blast in the backyard and we spent a lot of time in the Jacuzzi. We extended an extra day because we loved it so much. If you're thinking about staying here, do it! There's lots of things to and places to adventure, it's deep out of town and super secluded

Great location on the Verde River, less than 2 hours outside of Phoenix. Cabin was clean and functional, plenty of games and activities to keep the family busy. The scenery and location to the river was great, wish I brought my fly road to do some fishing.

Great for the family!

Our stay was great! A quick 5 minute walk fishing. The boys caught small fish. The gameroom was great for some fun family competition from pool to a video arcade. The hot tub was perfect after a day of hiking. Verlander was very accommodating on check in and check out times. I had the most relaxing Mother's Day weekend.

Enjoyed staying so close to national forest land. The creek and going on walks next to it were wonderful. The hideaway has a nice patio with umbrella and pellet grill. Kid really enjoyed the loft. Bathrooms, bedrooms, and fridge were very clean. Floor was dirty and everything in the main area seemed like it had a coating of dust on it…perhaps it had been empty for awhile? But otherwise this place had everything we needed including blender and grilling accessories and a nice big table in the main area for playing games. Game room was neat but remember to bring extra quarters. TV upstairs had Disney and there’s also a screened in porch up there for those interesting in reading. Hot tub was well-maintained and hot! Appreciated the mud room and laundry area being close to the hot tub!!

Softball Weekend

We stayed here for a softball tournament with 2 moms and 2 girls. They really enjoyed the game area downstairs on their off time (and I enjoyed the pinball)! Verla was great to communicate with and was very prompt to our questions all weekend. She even left a little good luck cake for the girls, which they loved! Thanks, Verla!

Just like home

The cabin was beautiful, loved the personal touches. Bottle of wine, games very cozy. Would love to bring my grandbabies next time. So many things for the kids to do. Especially loved the hand quilted blankets. Only complaint was the mattress in the second bedroom very springy. The jacuzzi was great and our dogs LOVED the yard. Verla was awesome.

Great weekend getaway

My husband and I wanted to get out of the heat for our 2 year anniversary. This property has so many things to do although the time went so fast we didn't get to utilize everything. This place is perfect if you have kids. We have 2 Dachshund's and they loved exploring the back yard. I hope we can return soon and bring our daughter and her family. This would be the perfect location. Thank you Verla and Wes for letting us enjoy your beautiful property.
