5 Bedroom House in Whispering Pines, Gila County
Enjoy a completely unique Payson Airbnb experience in a 5-bedroom creekside guest home on a 3 acre mini-ranch situated on the East Verde river. Secluded, beautifully landscaped grounds boast private creek access, massive lawns for outdoor games, exclusive mini-ranch animal experiences, and onsite, guest-exclusive, 4-seat UTV rentals. A perfect launch point for Rim Country adventure: 20 min to Tonto Natural Bridge; 15 min to Washington Park; 4 min from Water Wheel trail. Top 20 Airbnb since '15.
SPACE:
We offer use of approximately 1.5 acres of the property surrounding the guest house adjacent to the creek. ~100 yards of creek access and private, seasonally available trout fishing immediately behind the guest home. Nearest neighbor is the host's home, approximately 50 yards from the guest home. This guest cabin is a two story - offering four rooms with queen or king beds and one room with two double beds (all upscale mattresses), and rooms finished with 'black out' curtains and/or shades with central air and heat to upstairs and downstairs. The house is fully furnished and outfitted as a full time bnb guest home, and as hosts we are a text away if anything is missing or out of order!
ACCESS:
Our guests have access to a little slice of heaven. As you arrive, a shared drive-way leads you off of Houston Mesa Rd, past the manager's house, to a private guest house with plenty of parking, wrap around decks, and situated right on the creek.
"Do you allow dogs/pets?" We get asked over and over - and while we love dogs the answer is a firm "No", sorry, we don't. Doesn't matter what age, what kind, or how well behaved. No pets please, and don't try to sneak them in. It's awkward when we have to say something.
Tight restrictions apply to the numbers of people we allow, even visitor access. Please review the house rules as we are strict with our "human" guest limit - and in spite of AirBNB saying infants are free, we charge for them, too. We find children are the most impactful visitors we have from a cleaning and maintenance standpoint.
INFO AND OFFERS:
UTV rentals are provided onsite by a third party, first come first serve basis. If you're interested - speak up right away so we can reserve them for your stay and ensure they're onsite and gassed up.
We offer professional photography sessions for your family during your stay - as Melisa (co-host) is a 25 year photography veteran for family portraits, headshots, etc. The forested property and creek are perfect backdrops - let us know if interested so we can suggest what to pack/colors for photo sessions.
If you're interested in meeting the animals, just let us know! We'll bring out min-goats, our mini-horses, tame chickens, and our pony (rides may be available, just ask). We'll discuss options on check-in, and are happy to host the meet-n-greet and other animal experiences during your stay - free to guests.
We have plums, apples, and other fruit on the property, cherries, black berries, etc. when in season. While here, help yourselves only to what you can eat immediately - leave fruit for us and others. We understand there's nothing like picking an apple and just biting right in - and we love to share so long as it's not abused.
We have a 5 burner family size BBQ grill (propane supplied) ready for your use. Check the photos for a shot of the grill.
The house is on city water. Given we also have a well - we get asked allot.
Elk and deer are friends from the forest, and they come in often. You'll hear them at night allot and see them sometimes during the day. Please don't feed them or pet them - it's against the law, and dangerous as hell.
Woodpeckers sometimes see to it that you're up a little early - be prepared - we do our best to shoo them off and have installed bird deterrents, but you'll experience them first hand sometimes... Welcome to the woods.
Some years we provide various outdoor games and toys. Please try to keep the parts together - playing with one horse-shoe guarantees you'll loose any bet, and dampens the fun.
We provide an old school porch swing facing the creek - its a 500 lbs. weight limit.
We provide picnic tables and many chairs. Please don't take them off site or break them - and keep outside chairs outside, and inside chairs in.
Lastly, we are an operating mini-ranch and we have a rooster named "Doc" who watches over our 25 or so hens. Roosters crow, which is part of being here with us. We provide ear plugs for light sleepers, but be aware.
YOU WILL NOT HAVE CELL SERVICE during your stay in our neighborhood and Internet speeds are limited -- but just down the road at the top of the hill by Second Crossing you can pick up service from most national providers. Wifi Internet is provided, and you are welcome to use cellphone over wifi options. Please note, average Internet speed is ~3-5Mbps.
