The Cabin

Snow in winter, pines in summer, always somewhere to unwind.

Surrounded by towering pines and fresh mountain air, this cabin sits approximately two miles from Pinetop Lakes Golf & Country Club. It offers the kind of relaxed, family-first stay that keeps guests coming back season after season.

The open-concept living area is bright and spacious, centered on a stone fireplace and a 70 inch 4K TV. The fully equipped kitchen opens onto a scenic wraparound deck with a grill, a Solo Stove fire pit, and a hammock beneath the pines. A mini-split A/C system keeps the cabin comfortable through the warmer summer months.

Upstairs, the game room keeps things lively with a pool table, dartboard, an unlocked NBA Jam arcade loaded with 10,000 classic games, and a Street Fighter cabinet. The garage adds ping pong, shuffleboard, and Pop-A-Shot. Outside, kids have a playground and treehouse of their own.

Our family, including our pet, had a wonderful stay. There was something for everyone in the home while still providing peace and quiet space for everyone. Our family would definitely stay again.

A fantastic stay for adults and children. Plenty of room and lots to do. The game room was great, the surroundings are gorgeous and peaceful. We will for sure be back for another stay and will recommend friends to stay here.

This beautiful home was an amazing place to stay! Fully stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds were VERY comfortable. We liked that there was pump hand soap in bathrooms, shampoo, conditioner, and soap in kitchen. There was even seasonings, foil, tea bags, K cups for coffee and a choice of coffee maker - drip or Keurig. The towels were all fluffy and super nice. These little touches mean the world to us, since we rent a lot of Airbnb's!

Our visit to the cabin was well worth it. The cabin was comfy, beautiful, and peaceful. Spacious for our family of 4 and could easily have a few more guests and still be comfortable. Our boys definitely put the loft to use with all the fun games it came with. We made use of the deck, patio, grill, and front yard. The area itself is quiet, which is something we enjoyed. The location is close enough for a meal out, grocery run, or hike. Lisa was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Overall, it was everything we expected and more. We look forward to coming back. Thank you again for sharing your cabin with us.
