We offer cozy real log cabins for Daily or Weekly rental, open year round for all your seasons of fun and relaxation, and of course we gladly welcome your family pets!
Nearby attractions and activities include a number of peaceful lakes for boating and fishing, several excellent golf-courses, horseback riding and hiking.

Large rustic log cabin in the pines. Our families favorite place to be. Cabin is 2800 sqft. and has a large 1400 sqft. deck for enjoying the outdoors and views overlooking Greer Valley. Great base camp for fishing and hiking in the spring and summer, hunting in the fall and skiing in the winter. Very close to the three Greer lakes and only 15 minutes to Sunrise Ski Park. Quiet secluded location but still close to all Greer and the White Mountains has to offer.

First of all Sandee was lovely and made us feel so very welcome.
Situated on a property that has a main house and multiple guesthouses, my family stayed in the smaller guesthouse. All amenities available meant all our needs were met. The house had plenty of room for us. Our little dog was equally welcome. The ranch was far removed from noise and nonsense, but only 20 minutes from the Petrified Forest south entrance. A beautiful setting!

This place is a little slice of Heaven! Cute and quaint cabin, with a spacious loft and homey feel. There were a ton of great hiking spots with beautiful views on these 40 acres. My German Shepherd enjoyed swimming in the pond, artistically lined with cattails and full of friendly fish. The other pond was a bit overgrown, but still a sight to see. The night sky is perfect for star gazing, away from city lights. “Cabin by the Pond” is definitely a great place to go to escape the business of life!

Cabin by the Pond was a really nice place. Michele was very accessible and was a pleasure to deal with. If you like to fish…. The pond closest to the cabin was full of Bluegill and a few Black Bass. We never tried the second pond as it was difficult to reach due to overgrown reeds. All in all, we would definitely return and recommend!!

The cabin by the pond was comfortable and we had a great time. The hosts had a nice book with information and even went through the trouble of listing local resources. Great hosts

My family and I had a wonderful time at the cabin. We fished at the ponds multiple times a day. My dogs were able to run free and enjoy nature. One of the best experiences we have had and we did not even deep dive everything. Michele was very responsive and helpful if we needed anything. Would love to come back!

Loved Michele and John’s cabin and the property! There were 2 stocked ponds for catch-n-release and lots of places to explore. The cabin had everything you need to enjoy a relaxing stay with activities to keep you busy. Sounds weird but loved the shower as well lol! Would love to stay again if we are back out this way!

Sandee was a wonderful host. The casita was very nice and had all the amenities you’d want. Fireplace inside, fire ring outside. Full assortment of books and movies to choose from too!
The kitchen has all the things needed to cook a good meal. Any utensil you can think of, it’s there!
The casita is semi-close to the main house where Sandee lives, but she’s got her own things to do so is respectful of your space. Though my wife and I did have some very wonderful conversations with her! She’s a delightful woman and we’re happy we got to know her a little bit. We share a lot of common interests.
The property sits on 40 acres not too far off a road that has so little traffic it’s awesome. Maybe 1-2 cars every few hours. No bright lights to be found anywhere, so if you want starry nights, this is the place!
We were looking for quietude and solitude and we found it here!

My family and I took a short trip to Petrified and were pleased to find Sandees place. It was quaint and charming. We enjoyed the view, clear night sky and the fresh air. Sandee was responsive and kind and I enjoyed her checking in before and after our stay. I would stay again if we are in the area.

We camped at Fool Hollow several years ago on our was West from New England. The sites are very nice & amenities very much appreciated, but the "lake" itself is not visible from most of the sites & in any case not very substantial. This was in Augusta or September, after the usual hot dry summer in AZ, & the "lake" was little more than a puddle!
