I just want to say Thank you and that we had a great 3 day weekend! This cabin is perfect for a big family and they have almost everything you need! Tree house was so awesome and the game room with many toys for babies to to older ages! My kids and nieces had a blast. My 12 year said it was better than when we went to Discneyland and Universal studios! It was our first cabin experience and I will definetly return!! Thank you so Much!

What a great place to get away and relax. My husband and I were in AZ to visit family over Christmas. We diecided to take a mini vacation and rent Jen's home for two nights. We met family and friends there and enjoyed every minute of it. The house was easy to get to and was clean. The deck is great, even though it was a bit too cold to actually sit outside. The amenities were plenty. The kitchen was user friendly for cooking meals. **Note to those who plan on grocery shopping while there...there are little groceries with staple items in Strawberry, but if you need more than that you will have to go to Payson. There are restaurants right down the road. We did not go to any, but they are there if needed.It is a good idea to bring along extra TP, paper towels, and coffee.
The pool table is in great condition. We used that, we used the ping pong table, and we played games that were provided. Nice hiking trails were very close by.
Other reviews talk about uncomfortable beds...remember this house sleeps ALOT of people. For that many beds one shouldn't expect them all to be memory foam or sleep number beds. They serve their purpose. As for the bathrooms, there is one upstairs with a stand up shower. If you are very tall or large you will need to use the full bath downstairs.There were enough towels provided for all.
Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the house. Thanks Jen.

Home is not secluded the neighbor is about 50 feet away. Grill did not work , I called the owner and she did not send a " handyman " until the last day of our stay. We bought 100 $ worth of grilling food and had fish we caught. When I asked the owner for compensation she stated, " there is other means for cooking like stove and microwave." who wants to cook a steak in the oven??? It's sad because we hardly go on vacation and our trip was runied and the owner did not care.

The pictures of Jens' rental absolutely do not do it justice- it's large and spacious and so cozy! Charming and welcoming are words that come to mind. We enjoyed the pool table/ ping pong and the view was spectacular. It was very cold, as we didnt realize that we could use the individual thermostats in the bedrooms because of the note in the living room that says not to touch the thermostat. Our fault! Brrr. It snowed A LOT, and unfortunately there was only one shovel. I had to shovel the drive way for 3 days to get my car out (thank goodness I started early!). Her neighbor was gracious enough to lend a hand with his machine to knock down the wall created by the snow plow. All of the surrounding neighbors we met were kind and pleasant- just like Jen. She was such a pleasure to do business with and we really hope to back in the summer time! Thanks so much, Jen!
