Rainbow Lake Cabin · Lakefront with Kayaks · Sleeps 10 · Dogs Welcome

Wake to birdsong on a pine-lined creek feeding Rainbow Lake. Paddle the included kayaks, walk six minutes to the marina and the bar-grill, toast sunset s'mores around the fire pit. Inside: 75" smart TV, PlayStation, board games, and a zero-gravity massage chair for the end of a long hiking day.

Four bedrooms, three baths, sleeps ten. King in the primary, queens in two guest rooms, and a queen plus two singles in the fourth — works for multi-gen trips. The back of the house opens to a creek and pond with Rainbow Lake just beyond. Fish off the dock, paddle the kayaks, or walk to the marina. Yard is open to the water, so keep an eye on kids and pets near the edge.

Chef's kitchen stocked with coffee, salt, pepper, oil, dish soap, paper towels. Fast Wi-Fi (300mbps), full A/C and heat year-round, washer and dryer, workspace.

We're the Schnepp family from Gilbert. This is a real home we use ourselves and rent out the rest of the year — message us and we'll make it right.

The Area: Creekside HOA, a gated community at the north end of 116-acre Rainbow Lake. The White Mountains stay 30+ degrees cooler than Phoenix all summer with average highs in the 70s and 80s. About 3 hours from Phoenix. Fall foliage peaks the first three weeks of October. Sunrise Ski Resort is a short drive in winter.

Good to Know: One well-behaved dog welcome. Quiet hours after 9pm. 4WD or chains recommended November through March. Smart lock self check-in. Exterior cameras at driveway and entry only.

Overall stay was pleasant :) house worked out just fine for our family of 6. This house was in a good centralized area. Not too far from everything in town. We mainly wanted to visit Sunrise. It was abt 30-40 min from the ski park. Sounds long, but an easy drive. Unfortunately the winter weather just wasn’t there so we cut our trip a day short. Not a whole lot to keep the kids busy. The hosts made it very easy to check in, and everything in the home is set up to accommodate guests. There were a couple issues, but nothing that would keep us from staying there again. The one big annoyance is the parking situation. The garage will only fit a small vehicle. Think honda fit size… If you have suv’s or a pick up, they will only fit in the driveway. AND only one will fit in the driveway. You cant park in the street, so you will have to park any extra vehicles by the front gate entrance. We went to several of the host suggested places to eat. All were exceptional:)Overall experience was a good one & we would stay again:D

We had a wonderful time at the lake house! Our kids 5 and 7 loved all the activities in the house. It was wonderful to see them playing board games, relaxing and enjoying lake. I really appreciated the hosts attention to detail when it comes to having “extras” like shampoo/conditioner/body soap as well as batteries for emergencies. We would highly recommend staying here to others and we would book this location in the future!

I took my 2 adult daughters and adult granddaughter for 4 days of quiet and a fun time. This house had everything you would possibly need for your stay. Nicely furnished, very clean and quiet. Eveything worked properly, instructions arrived in a timely manner. No problems whatsoever. The natural beauty of the back yard was very pleasant.We would definitely stay here again.Rebecca

This cabin was perfect! Easy fishing in the pond right next to the home, and the lake is just a 2-minute walk — our teens loved kayaking across it. The cabin was spotless (the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in), very well stocked, and had plenty of space for family movie nights, board games, and relaxing. Beds were super comfortable, and The Bistro at Annie’s (just a 5-minute walk) was amazing. The owners were excellent communicators and so gracious. Highly recommend!

Very nice home and neighborhood

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.

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.

Perfect Quick and Easy Getaway

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!

Lakefront Gateaway

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.
