When you are mandated to pay for possible damage to the property at the time of booking (insurance or a large sum to be held) you'd expect the house to be in pristine condition when you arrive. That is not the case here so that was pretty disappointing. There is damaged floor tile, window coverings, cheap or not grout repair, a shower that looked pretty rough. There is a difference between run-down and rustic. This place is run-down.The toaster only works 1/2 the elements and the bottom tray does not lock. Apparently we had a bear come through so I got to pick up trash from someone else's stay. Get a bear proof can or empty the can after each guests stay.The house looks like 10 different people got together to design it and furnish it and none of them talked to each other. The inside is cramped with random furniture that does not look good.There is a step-down for the master bedroom that is about a 6 or 8" drop. No light or markings to highlight the step. Someone will break an ankle on that one if they haven't already.The step-down going to the back patio is pretty tall too.That being said... the back patio was the highlight and we enjoyed sitting back there for evening drinks and morning coffee while watching the rain. The kitchen is well stocked (actually over stocked). There is a fire pit and fireplace but you need to bring a axe or hatchet if you plan to cut wood.The communication was good. The wi-fi worked well. The location is close to town.

The location of this property was great however, the house was completely overcrowded with furniture and had tons of spiders. My son saw a spider by his bed and in the meantime of getting me and going back we couldn’t find it. Therefore, he would not sleep. There were spiders in every room, in the rafters, in the bathroom and so on.

Creek side cabin

I enjoyed my stay. It started snowing the day I arrived and temperatures were in the mid 20*s at night. I was expecting a more pleasant weather for Easter Sunday. The cabin has a wood burning fireplace that keeps the main room comfortable, but the bedrooms were considerably cooler. There’s a hiking trail that follows Billy creek with many beautiful views of the creek and countryside. I would recommend you stay through the warmer months after the plants leaf out and everything is green.

Amazing stay in this cabin!

The property was amazing. Billy creek was just right in the back with just a short 3 min walk. House was fairly clean, heat was great, along with all of the other amenities. The property manager was great at responding through via text and call. Fire place was also great.

Pretty view and outdoor space

The cabin is as pictured and described. The outdoor patio and fire pit are comfortable and enjoyable. Inside is a bit cluttered as others have mentioned. Communications were answered promptly. There were mice inside but I suppose that is usual in the woods.

Special Visit to Pinetop!

We enjoyed our recent visit to Pinetop, AZ, and stay in the Creekside Cabin. The cabin sits in a tranquil and friendly neighborhood. The yard has been carefully maintained with native trees and plants. We found the cabin to be very clean and accommodating. The open plan living-dining and kitchen area was comfortable; we enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace each morning to take the chill away. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well appointed and stocked for our every need. The covered deck was amazing and we enjoyed the fair weather every day we were there. The overlook to Billy Creek below was wonderful as was the walk along the creek. We certainly look forward to our next visit! Thank you to the host/manager and owners!

Perfect Mountain Retreat

My partner and I had the best weekend in Pinetop at this lovely home. It’s in a great neighborhood, right in the middle of town. We used the outdoor grill and fire pit, and loved sitting on the back porch. We will definitely be back.

Loved the back porch!

We were not given the correct phone number on the paperwork we received, and the information in the house had the same phone number. So when we had two leaks during a storm, we were unable to reach the manager. It was finally rectified when we saw the neighbor on the right and she called the owner. Turns out it was an old phone number out of service. The house is very dark and overcrowded with furniture, and the single beds were very uncomfortable. We had a wonderful time enjoying the area in spite of this.

Not what we expected

We paid for 2 weeks and stayed for 4 days. It did not meet our needs. We are seniors, in our 70s. The lava rock, in all of the yard, was dangerous to walk on. My husband fell. There was no light to read by, in the bedrooms. There was so much furniture, that it was hard to move around. The porch was nice and the kitchen was well furnished. We never did figure out how to watch the TV. I definitely would not recommend this house for seniors.

Great spot but unexpected guests

The house looked in order and neat. However, the house was not checked the day or night before our arrival. Being unoccupied, little critters (mice) made the house their home--so we were the unexpected guests. There were mice droppings on some of the chairs/couches and under the pillows. It was hard for us to sleep with the critters handling their busy night. Our dog could definitely hear them and stood guard for the night. Had it not been for the mice the stay would have been wonderful. I got a small adjustment to our stay for the trouble, but it was not enough to make up for the discomfort.
