About this property

Beautiful Lakefront Luxury Cabin in The Shores at Rainbow Lake gated community

This spacious 4,000+ square foot lakefront custom cabin is perfect for your family vacation. Located in a gated community, it comes completely furnished and is stocked with all the amenities you will need.

Relax on the large back deck overlooking the lake, play croquet on the manicured lawn, fish off the private dock or play tennis on the court at the end of the block. Four kayaks, a paddle boat, and a fishing canoe are available for your use. This spacious cabin is only minutes from many activities including hiking, fishing, boating, horseback riding, antiquing, gambling, dining and much more. Sunrise Ski Resort is approximately 45 minutes away. There are plenty of family games and kid toys to keep your family busy, including a pool/game table in the bunk room and sleds or bikes for your use in the garage.

The cabin will accommodate 14 people but we are limited to 12 by our HOA rules: one king in the master (2 people), one queen in bedroom #2 (2 people), one queen in bedroom #3 (2 people), one queen in bedroom #4 (2 people), and 3 twin/twin bunks (6 people/kids) in the bunk room/playroom. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom and cable tv. The bunk room has a 1/2 bath.

The family room has cable TV, a DVD player, a VCR and surround sound. There is a DVD library. There is also a wireless router and a Roku so you can sign into your own accounts.

Air conditioning is available during summer if needed, though it's not likely that you will. Summer highs are 75 to 88 degrees with night-time lows in 40s and 50s. Whole house fans cool the cabin down in a matter of minutes as the temperatures drop at the end of the day.

In addition to centralized heating, two wood-burning fireplaces in the main living areas and a gas fireplace in the master bedroom provide warmth and enjoyment during the cold winter months. Imagine relaxing in front of a roaring fire after a day on the slopes.

This is our private family cabin. We rent our home with the expectation that it will be cared for as if you were a guest. No events or parties are allowed and the HOA has strict rules regarding noise.

This is our 6th time back and we love it every time. It snowed a couple days this time which made it even better.This cabin is always so comfortable, and we always feel at home. The open kitchen is great, always stocked with everything we need, and everyone has room to relax throughout the stay. Thank you again for a great family trip. We can't wait until next year!

Amazing lakefront property!!
My family loved this property, Brad the property owner kept in constant communication with us to make sure everything was going great. We had so much fun fishing and kayaking around the lake. We caught plenty of trout, and catfish at night. The home was as described and we would love to stay here again. We love Rainbow lake and hope to return soon.

We were provided with everything we needed to make my boyfriend’s birthday weekend memorable! The cabin was extremely homey, with lots of space and amenities and patio and lounge space. The lake was beautiful and we were able to use the bikes, kayaks, and canoe provided to explore the area more. We would love to do this again soon!

Perfect stay in a beautiful cabin.
This is our third stay at this roomy and organized cabin with our children and grandchildren. The cabin is comfortable with enough room for everyone to gather. We love that each bedroom has a private bathroom as well as the powder room downstairs. The back porch is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the lake. The grandchildren love the grassy backyard and Kayaking on the lake with their parents. We love this place.

This cabin was the perfect getaway for my family. The house is very nice and well maintained. The location right on the lake was great.

Don't book this place because I want to book it again ;)
Huge beautiful home. You need for nothing because everything is already on property. We caught 5 fish, went kayaking, and took out the paddle boat. We had 3 bald eagle sightings, a blue harron, and watched hawks dive for fish. It's a great set up for multiple families to share. Also, the Long Wings at the other side of the lake has great fish tacos. Wonderful hosts. We will be back for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Brad Holmes

Host profile image
Our cabin is host to four families.

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed in Pinetop since the 70's, when we owned a small A-frame in the pines. As the family grew, we needed a larger cabin in which to gather. We love the laid-back and friendly attitude of the White Mountains.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin allows us a place we can all gather and relax, yet not be on top of each other. Our favorite activities are fishing and kayaking on the lake during the summer. The kids love to play tennis and the court is just a few doors down. In evenings, we play Scrabble, and Rummikube in the loft or watch family movies with popcorn and surround sound. Sledding and skiing are favorite winter activities but we also love building snow forts in the front yard. The dads like to cook - fortunately the kitchen is well-stocked and large enough to accommodate all of them. Although the cabin is convenient to all that Pinetop-Lakeside has to offer, it really is just a great place to hang out with family and friends!
