UniqueTreehouse overlooking private pond. Come watch the leaves change.

Looking for an adventure that is romantic or just something different? Come stay at our Treehouse that overlooks this captivating private pond. The views are spectacular, and you don’t want to miss the sunsets.

You are in a gated, safe large private piece of property. We are only an hour and a half from the Valley of the Sun, but you will feel like you are a world away, and in the deep South. Nothing like what you would expect to find in Arizona.

Although the Treehouse is tiny, it has everything you could possibly need, and very comfortable. It includes its own private pier, canoe and paddle boat so you can get to Giraffe Island without any trouble. The island has a floating dock with a table and chairs, lounges and an outdoor spiral heater. Perfect for dinner, lunch and fishing or just relaxing.

The 200 square foot covered outdoor living area under the treehouse is the perfect place to curl up with a good book, or to take a nap after hiking up our private Stairway to Heaven Trail. Try going out and finding the petroglyphs, an adventure on its own. Arrowheads? Crystals? Geodes? They are all in the area. It also has a gas fire pit and electric heater for locking in the heat when the curtains that enclose it are pulled.

Just outside the gate is almost two miles of the East Verde River to explore. We backup to the Tonto National Forest, so no one is behind us. With the lush greenery and all the additional unique sitting areas, this property truly looks like it was plucked straight out of a storybook. Bird House Patio, Hammock Patio, Hillside Patio, Manzanita Patio, Waterwheel Patio and of course, the Island Patio. There is seventeen mature Willow Trees that circle the spring fed pond, with benches placed around it, for your enjoyment.

With the propane two burner Blackstone Grill, cooking will be a breeze. Sitting on the outdoor patio with a prep station and outdoor sink, what more could you ask for? Want to take a break from preparing meals and cleaning up? There is a verity of fine restaurants in Payson and Pine, …. and we are right in between both of them. 6 miles outside of Payson, and 8 miles to Pine.

The treehouse has a mini split system for heating and cooling, and on the upstairs balcony an infrared heater the sits over the outdoor bar that overlooks the 2-acre pond. You will have a Birdseye view of the ducks, eagles, otters, wildlife and fish jumping on the pond. Yes. The pond is stocked and since it is private, no fishing license is required. From here the sunsets over the top of the mountain on the other side of the East Verde River, and the reflection in the pond is mesmerizing. Don’t forget your camera.

The Treehouse interior has a private bathroom with a sink and a shower. We are a green environment, so the toilet is a modern low flush system. We are also on a gray water system for water from the sink and shower but have well water going into the treehouse, so it is drinkable. We also supply bottled water to get you started in the mornings for your coffee or tea.

There is a sitting area in front of the Arcadia glass door, with a fold out futon loveseat if you prefer separate sleeping quarters. (We know we are going to have those fishermen wanting to stay) but with only being 196 sq ft, we only accept two adult-guests.

The dining table in the treehouse seats two and is attached to the Murphy Bed. It folds up underneath when the bed is lowered.

There is also counter space with a sink, coffee pot, microwave and a toaster oven. The roll out counter also has all the dishes and accessories you will need, including a small crockpot and ice bucket.
.
Since we are more like a traditional bed and breakfast, the refrigerator has continental breakfast items such as boiled eggs, butter, power snacks, milk, juices and an assortment or cheese, olives and a meat tray…. To get you started on this one-of-a-kind adventure.

There are also complimentary pastries, cereal, chips, cookies, crackers . . . and other surprises, along with coffee, hot chocolate, and an assortment of teas, soft drinks, beer and wine.

Downstairs, on the outdoor living room, next to the gas Blackstone grill is an ice chest, for anything else you may need a cooler for.

Treehouse robes are supplied for your use while staying with us, along with beach towels for the hot tub and infrared sauna. If you like resort amities, but prefer a rural, relaxed setting, you will love the Treehouse. Check out the medicine cabinet for anything you may have forgotten. We want your stay to be a memory to cherish forever.

This property requires lots of maintenance. The innkeepers live on the property. There is also another rental on the property if you want to bring two friends or family. It is also a two-person cottage. This property is a 7-acre estate, so they are not close together, and there is lots of privacy. The property is very extraordinary and one of a kind. If you’re ever longed to step into the pages of a fairytale, now's your chance. How often can you stay in a Treehouse?

Piece of paradise
I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Great communication with the owner and felt very welcomed and at home. Beautiful clear pond (more like a small lake), was told an elk named Matilda and her baby come by. They did and we got close enough to feed them some extra lettuce we had. Quiet. Everything you would need was provided. Again amazing and will stay here again.

Lovely Treehouse
I have never been in a treehouse before, so this was perfect. It is on a beautiful property, so much to see & explore. The host, Brenda & Max were very nice, even invited us for wine with a neighbor, Ann. Would love to go back again. When you go make sure to watch for Matilda and her baby, she comes over some evenings for carrots and apples. As stated in VRBO 'ad' there are stairs. If you can't do stairs, there is also a cabin on this same property. Wonderful setting.

Magical & Relaxing
Everything about our stay for our Anniversary was amazing! Brenda is such a wonderful host & she made sure we had everything we needed in the treehouse. It was fully stocked with all kinds of goodies & drinks. It’s a small space but everything had its place & the bed was very comfortable. We loved sitting out on the balcony with our drinks & looking out over the pond. Paddle boat & the canoeing around & out to giraffe Island, walking up the stairway to heaven & sitting in the hot tub under the stars. So many beautiful places to sit & relax. We loved it & will definitely be coming back.

Fantastic and blissful relaxing retreat
We had an awesome time, in this amazing tranquil retreat. The treehouse is a little oasis in the high desert, secluded but close to town. The hosts are extremely friendly and have a wealth of information to share. We enjoyed the pond, hiking and picking blackberries and will definitely be back again.

Treehouse escape
This property was absolutely relaxing. The host is amazing, along with her son. The view is breathtaking as you just sit in the comfortable areas that she has provided. Many areas to walk and hike, there is a paddle boat and additional boats for fishing. Everything is just so peaceful. I recommend this stay for anyone!

A real treat
We love the treehouse. A creative use of space such that a person has everything one could possibly need. A wonderful bbq (top of the line) on the deck adds to the amenities. We love the downstairs outside area. It's super comfortable. Good comfortable bed. Fans, heat and A/C which we didn't need in early June, but is there if needed. Great hosts. We enjoy staying every year.

Treehouse Anniversary
This was the best choice we made for our anniversary. The treehouse was perfect. Under it was a great patio with fireplace and the best view of the lake. The property has so many places to enjoy and relax! Fishing was a dream. The bass were small but next year they will be ready to eat. We will be staying with Brenda again in the near future for sure.

Heaven with a view
Thank you to Brenda, Aaron, and Max for making our stay a wedding anniversary to remember. They are on 7 acres, and you will be close to the living quarters, but you will NEVER feel crowded, or like you don't have 100% privacy. Check in was smooth, and started with help with our belongings and a tour of the property. The next 3 days were spent hiking, fishing, enjoying the numerous relaxing fire pits, hammocks, boating, jacuzzi, or sauna adventures. The room is completely stocked with thoughtful items and utensils. They offer Wi-Fi if you need to be able to check in with reality. This hidden gem is so well thought out and well taken care of. At every turn, there was another gentle touch of love and care. Stargazing and enjoying the fire with all the lights on the property at night was enchanting. The facilities are well kept and very clean. We will be coming back and will recommend it to everyone who needs to recharge, disconnect and be in God's creation. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with us.

Our stay here is still talked about 2 weeks later......Brenda, Aaron & Max were the nicest, warmest, people / canine :) you will ever meet. From the second we arrived until the moment we left, I felt at welcome and at home. Always available to answer questions and more than accommodating. We still talk about them and the time we spent there. Our friends still ask us about the trip and when we bust out the pictures we took, everyone asks, "how did you find that perfect place?!" The little details are everywhere you look and what they have created is truly something to be proud of. Cant wait to go back.

The Treehouse was amazing! We loved hanging out on the underneath patio and taking in the views of the pond and terrain. The pond is stocked with fish, so we were easily able to catch a few. We also hiked the trail that is accessible right on property and that was beautiful. The studio was perfect for two people and was stocked with anything you would need for your stay. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we'll definitely be back. The hosts we very accommodating and communication was great.
