Creekside HOA is a newly built, Gated community located at the northern tip of Rainbow Lake. The neighborhood is clean and quiet, mostly full time residents, and some vacation homes. Rainbow lake is right out our back door - you can walk there to fish, kayak or rent boats at the marina. Additionally, there is a small Pond and Creek in the HOA. With views of BOTH the Lake AND the Pond, and a bit of privacy from the lake visitors with the berm in between our home and the lake. Its truly the best location in the neighborhood.

Rainbow Lake is 116 surface acres, and has a maximum depth of 14 feet and an average depth of 7 feet. Currently, the Department stocks catchable-sized rainbow trout in the spring and early summer. Naturally propagating warm water species include largemouth bass, channel catfish, black bullhead, bluegill and green sunfish. The lake also contains illegally introduced northern pike.

This property is impressive all year round for a visit to the White Mountains.

Truthfully, every season is gorgeous in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona. In the spring and summer, the banks of babbling creeks erupt with wildflowers, and in the winter, the rugged peaks and sloping meadows are blanketed in sparkling white.

But it is perhaps in autumn that the White Mountains are at their brightest. Interspersed with the mountains’ pine and fir trees are lovely stands of white-barked aspens and thickets of Gambel oaks.

In late September and early October, the changing colors of the aspens and oaks alternate with the evergreen pines, creating a striking green-and-gold patchwork landscape.

Fall is also a time of glorious weather in Arizona’s high country. Owing to its altitudes that soar to the 6,500-to-9,000-foot-plus range, the White Mountains are always considerably cooler than the lowland deserts of the Phoenix and Tucson areas.

Average high temperatures in White Mountain communities such as Greer and Show Low are in the 70s and 80s in the summer and in the 60s and 70s in the fall. Prime leaf-peeping typically occurs during the first three weeks of October. The September shoulder season, although it might be too early to see the full range of fall colors, is still a wonderful time to visit the White Mountains.

There are may fantastic things to do in Arizona’s White Mountains; from visiting the many Lakes, Hiking Trails, Sunrise Ski Resort, Woods Canyon Lake, Rim Country Museum and more.

Loads to do for all tastes, from outdoor adventures for local explorers to total isolation for those who prefer the homely and the comfy!

In the heart of the White Mountains, this vacation home is centrally located to everything you may need or want. Plenty of local restaurants and shops within minutes. Hiking trails and ATV trails galore. Basics like Walmart, Home Depot and Safeway just a few minutes away. Sunrise Ski resort is only a 40 minute drive, and Show Low Airport is just 30 minutes from home. Lakeside is truly a special place in any season!

Impressed by service

From the time I inquired about availability of the property to my daughter leaving her teddy bear and Pete mailing it back to me, his communication with me prior to and after our stay was beyond. So much room for the 5 of us and just enough for us to do. Thank you Pete for your attention, service and opening up your home to us.

Great spot

We enjoyed our time in pinetop and had fun at this spot. The kayaks were fun to use on the lake and we rode our bikes to a couple trails to enjoy the outdoors. We'd stay here again. Thanks!

Perfect Quick and Easy Getaway

We had a wonderful time at this Lakeside retreat. Plenty of room, amenities along with many extras included in our stay. We enjoyed Kayaking, (kayaks provided) fishing, hiking and treks into town. At night we made s'mores at the fire pit and played foosball, board games, etc. Loved the relaxed vibe. Accessing the property was quick and easy. We will likely be back!

Lakefront Gateaway

Beautiful cabin with a short walk to Rainbow Lake. Cabin offers 4 kayaks for use, which our family loved. Kayaking and fishing was a daily must for the kids. In the mornings and evenings we enjoyed walking the trail behind the lake. Location was close to all our favorite Pinetop hotspots. When we weren’t out exploring or enjoying the local establishments, the house was a relaxing place to be.

Getaway

I had a nice relaxing getaway. What a beautiful home. My favorite part was sitting on the porch watching all the birds and listening to the water. It was peaceful and just what I needed. My dad came up to stay one of the nights with me too and his favorite thing was the massage chair!

Home Away From Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our three week stay from the moment we walked inside this beautiful and spacious house to the moment we had to leave. It had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was fully stocked. The lake is across the street and we were able to kayak most days. My 10 year old son went fishing for the first time and caught a huge fish! The weather was just beautiful! The house is so welcoming and peaceful! We felt right at home! I would highly recommend this place!!

Birthday getaway

This cabin is located in a quiet creek side neighborhood. The house is clean and well stocked, and had everything that I needed to cook each meal. We enjoyed walking on the trail, boating, and fishing. The owners were courteous and quick to respond to any inquiry that we had. Now let talk about "Alice". Alice and I met on Sunday evening, we hit it off immediately. She got all the right achy, tense points and worked them out. We will be back again.. thank you.

Great accommodations and the communication was great!

Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful home to stay in. The owners were great from day one and very accommodating. The only downside is me having to by my girlfriend one of those massaging chairs they have upstairs! Lol! It is AMAZING! Thanks for a great weekend!

Lakeside rental

We had a great time here! The house is absolutely beautiful. We had 10 people staying and we didn't feel like we were crowded AT ALL. House was stocked with just about everything needed, even appliances. We did have kids ranging from 7-16, that are very active. I wish I could give it a 5 star rating!! It seems permanent residents in the community are not very fond of renters with children who like to play outside. There is not a good space for that. We felt the need to leave the community to play. There are a few other nearby places for them to run around. Most of the area surrounding the lake is privately owned which could be another challenge if you want to fish or be by the water. Other than those few little things we really enjoyed our time here.

Welcome to our vacation cabin on the lake - we think you will love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

There are so few homes in AZ that are on the lake, but yet safe for kids, and in good condition! The age of the home, location of the home and the town of lakeside-pinetop checked all the boxes for us to purchase a vacation home where we can create family memories for many years to come!

What makes this property unique

The view is amazing! The location within the community is the best lot - it actually used to be owned by the builder. It has a perfect combination of Lake view, Pond View, and some privacy from the spillway. A few other lots may have better lake views, but they are right in front of the tourist areas and get a lot of people looking in their windows, and don't have any space for the kids to play in the back! This one truly has it all!
