About this property

Historic, Cozy Cabin with pond and 3.4 acres in the heart of Pinetop!

Step back to a simpler time in this historic ranch-style log cabin. It was built by a carpenter in the late 1940s with trees from the property. The hickory wood floors are original. We have intentionally kept the décor vintage. Our rustic cabin has a lot of character, making your experience unique. It’s perfect for a romantic getaway, family bonding/memories, a trip to rejuvinate or escape the Phoenix heat or play in the snow!

Take in the views of the pond and wildlife from the living room, bedroom, or large, covered porch. Wake up in the morning, brew some coffee, breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature while swaying on the front porch swing. Venture out to the swing next to the pond for a more up close view of pond life. Explore the beautiful property, including the winding creek. Take a 5-minute walk to the nearby hiking trail. Make memories, sitting around the fire pit at night roasting marshmallows, telling stories, and singing songs. Look up and gaze at the majesty of the stars in the White Mountains night sky.

This is a rare piece of property in Pinetop and is super close to restaurants (The Pasta House is walking distance), Eddie's Country Store, Safeway, shopping, and conveniences. Hiking, horseback riding, fishing, and golf are a few miles away. Skiing at Sunrise Park Resort is a 35-minute drive. https://www.sunrise.ski/

There is a three-night minimum for Christmas and New Years.

There is plenty to do at the cabin but there is so much more to do just a short walk or drive away. Enjoy the White Mountains and our Little Cabin in the Big Woods! We believe you will leave feeling refreshed and peaceful, having made priceless memories.

Four-wheel drive (4WD) is recommended during the winter.

Dreamy

I cannot say enough kind words about this cabin and the owners. My husband and I spent 3 days at this wonderful cabin! The weather was beautiful and we spent most of our time on the covered patio. The level of communication from the owners was supreme! I’ve stayed in a few VRBO’s but this is one of my favorites. Michelle and Lee

We loved staying at this charming cabin. The stream and pond were gorgeous. We loved spending time outside enjoying the beauty all around, making s’mores around the fire pit, and exploring in the woods. Such a special place!

Hidden Gem

Secluded but convenient. The cabin is charming and loaded with an amazing family history. Outdoors is magnificent. My kids and I spent most of our time outdoors at the pond catching crawdads and enjoying the scenery. We enjoyed every second and are sad to be leaving. Owners are wonderful and kind. Very helpful.

Ladies weekend retreat

This space is amazing! It is definitely a little cabin the woods, but it has big personality. A group of friends wanted time and space to decompress from life's stressors as well as getting to actually get together in one location and hang out. The cabin had all the creature comforts that we needed. The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy our time, which is appreciated. Our trip was during the little storm of March 2025, but we were tucked snug in the cabin as it was incredibly well stocked with towels, plethora of bedding and pillows. We were a bit slow to grab wood and bring it to the porch area. Good thing the cabin, though feels secluded, is near the town and all the stores and we were able to buy some stacks. Though the cabin is covered well with central heating and cooling system, we wanted the ambiance of the fireplace.The reason why I gave this 4 stars (though if I could I would give it 4.5) is only because the beds were super hard. Which it could every well just been us. If you like a bit more give I would say bring a topper as the duvers just don't seem to be enough. Again, my back is messed up so it could just be me.

Lovely cabin

My husband and I truly enjoyed our time at the cute cabin. It was so relaxing. We spent a lot of time on the porch and the swing at the beautiful pond. The cabin was clean, well stocked and the pond room bed was so comfortable. We enjoyed Pine Top and wished we could have stayed longer.

Super cute cabin in the woods!

We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin was comfortable and clean. We loved the huge front porch with the swing, we watched so many humming birds from there! The pond on the property gave our kids hours of entertainment. They caught so many crawfish and loved it! The 3 acre property gave us tons to explore. We even were able to have a camp fire and roast s’mores! We would absolutely stay again.

Beautiful view! Quiet cabin in the woods.

The property is exactly as described and absolutely fantastic! We stayed for a week to get away from the heat in the valley. Definitely a rustic cabin but with all the convenient modern amenities. Kitchen is fully stocked with all necessary cookware and the grill was great to use. Best part of the property is the large covered deck with picnic table and two swinging benches. We sat out most days and played games, read a book or just watched nature. The sunset on the small pond is beautiful and we took some beautiful family pictures. Just one FYI, I am 6’ 2” and when taking a shower my head was brushing the ceiling. Again, think rustic cabin… if you happen to be taller you may be just a bit hunched over to use the shower. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet stay in the mountains.

Feels like you far away but it’s not!

This was an amazing property. If you are looking for a cabin in the woods this is it. Literally like staying at grandmas house with all of the interesting artwork, books. Furniture etc. if you are looking for modern and bougie this is not it. The kitchen was well equipped, and the BBQ on the patio worked like a charm. Bed was really comfortable, and the cabin stayed cool. They have 2 fans as well. There is a trail to a trailhead which is amazingly convenient, and you can walk to the Lions Den, Pasta House,Munich house etc. it’s very private, sitting on the massive deck and watching the birds and trees was so relaxing. I would totally stay again.

Beautiful property, quiet, in town

Location, location, location ... as they say ... and this property has definitely got that going for it. The cabin sits on 3.4 acres of prime real estate ... pine trees, pond, small stream, fire pit ... kind of feels like camping with a cabin. As for the cabin, I believe the VRBO description uses the word "Historic". I would say "rustic", while my wife would say "dated". The cabin structure was built by hand in the 1940-50's. Impressive on one hand, but also rustic (or dated) on the other hand. I did mark "cleanliness" down, as when we arrived the exterior/porch coul have used a good cleaning (leaves, pine needles, cob webs, bugs, etc). This was easily resolved by us as cleaning tools/supplies were available on property. BTW, I did speak to the owner/property manager about "first impressions", so hopefully the cleanliness will not be an issue going forward. Lastly, I would stay here again in the future. As for my wife, she would like to see many updates before returning.

Our granddaughter's 1st vacation

For our granddaughter's 1st vacation we wanted to take her somewhere where she could run around outside and enjoy nature as much as we do. This cabin was perfect. The property is amazing. Located on a private road in a neighborhood, we didn't have to worry about any traffic coming or going. We enjoyed walking the grounds and just hanging out by the pond swinging on the wood bench next to it. Got to see a few deer each day we were there. All of our meals were cooked and enjoyed out on the spacious covered front porch. Inside the cabin it was like walking back in time. The cabin, being built in the 1940s, was decorated with period time pieces. Our son got a kick out of looking through some of the old photo albums and yearbooks left out on the shelves. The cabin may be 3/4 of a century old, but there were plenty of modern day amenities to make it feel like home. The owners have obviously taken great pride in it's upkeep. They also provided us with great info on what to do and where to eat. Their quick and helpful responses made our short stay that more enjoyable. The whole family had a blast! Highly recommend staying here.

About the host

Host profile image
I grew up in this cabin with my mom, dad, and brother helping take care of our chickens, ducks, geese, horses, pigs, rabbits, goats, and even a raccoon! Lifetime memories were made exploring the creek, riding our horse in rodeos, making snow forts, sledding, snow skiing, fishing, and hunting.

The photos on the wall are of my family and my mom did much of the artwork.

My wife, Jennifer, and our three kids visit my childhood home every chance we can.
