Mornings begin with coffee on the deck as herons skim the water; evenings end around a crackling firepit or in the full‑body massage chair that melts travel tension away.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay and the home was as advertised. We really liked the kayaks; thank you for having life jackets as well. Not sure what the beds are but we all thought they were too firm. Did not like the mattresses. The shower in the master bath probably needs to be replaced; just sprays water everywhere. Not a great shower. Overall the house was very livable with plenty of space.

Summary: We had windy cold weather but went to the Petrified forest and stopped at the Casino.Evenings were spent watching tv because the dining room chairs were not comfortable at all.Overall it was a relaxing quiet trip but not as planned because we couldn’t sit around the table and play games as a group.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!
