Payson Cabin | Elk Surprise Hillside Hideaway

2 Bedroom Cabin in Payson

The Elk Surprise Hillside Hideaway provides a great gathering location for relaxing in the cool mountains. Whether just enjoying the quiet rustling of the pine and juniper trees, gazing at the spectacular views from the 850+ sq.ft. multilevel deck, or exploring the incredible areas that nature has provided in the area, this very private rustic cabin will leave you breathless. Built in the Tonto National forest, this magnificent remote cabin in the Mogollon Rim country provides a completely furnished log cabin with many of the amenities expected with a high-end home, yet is designed casually to accommodate families and friends. Close to great hiking and OHV trails. The house is located on a dirt road and there is parking for at least 2 cars.
The kitchen includes cherry cabinetry, granite counter tops, large kitchen island, and all of the kitchenware needed to prepare the perfect meal. The master bedroom is outfitted with a Top-Rated King memory foam mattress, ceiling fan and direct access to the bathroom that includes a walk-in travertine shower. The second bedroom provides very comfortable Queen and Full beds along with a ceiling fan. The BEST room of the house is the Front deck. Take in the views from either an outdoor dining table, the comfortable seating area under the deck roof, or relaxing in chairs on the upper deck around the propane firepit.
Please Note!! Due to the remote location of this property, there is a few things to be aware of when booking your stay.
1. Water in this area is limited and there is no city water access. Local wells provide the water supply and there is a rain water catchment system. Water conservation is VERY important when staying at a remote cabin like this. There is plenty of water, just not enough to waste.
2. Abundant wildlife is also present as in all forests. Don't be surprised to find Elk or other critters living in the forest with you.
3. In this fast paced life we live in now, sometimes it's nice to just unplug and unwind without the distractions of the everyday life. If you must stay connected, there is wireless internet connectivity that can be provided for an additional fee.
4. There are exterior cameras on property. These are to protect our guests, the property owners, and who are we kidding... we like to watch the wildlife from time to time ourselves when we are not there.
5. There MAY be a FIRE BAN in place when you are interested in coming. No open wood burning flame is allowed at the cabin any time. Please check the Tonto Forest web site for alert ban status: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/tonto/alerts-notices
We're all concerned during these chaotic times but we want to ensure you that we're taking every possible measure to ensure the home is comfortable, accommodating, and properly prepared for your arrival. If you need a clean, safe, and cozy spot to stay during this time of crisis, The Elk Surprise Hilltop Hideaway makes an ideal place to be.
Fresh, clean mountain air and the scent of Pine and Juniper trees make this the perfect escape to enjoy a cool weekend or an extended vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. We value our guests and look forward to becoming your new favorite vacation hideaway.
