We do a family trip every year. This place is close to a lot of fun stuff to do! The host was wonderful and always checking in to see if we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay, the cottage is deep in the woods, in a quiet little community, mins from water wheel falls.

We had a great time! The house was close to a lot of things to do. Great place to stay. The owner was awesome. Always checking in to see if we needed anything.
We LOVED our stay this adorable CLEAN Whispering Pines cottage! The decor was a charming farmhouse style in calm shades of gray, camel, and white . . . complete with rocking chairs on the veranda where we saw elk, rabbits, and nesting herons. The beds were very comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed, and more. Eric and his wife were wonderful and answered every question we had, and offered suggestions to make our stay in Payson fun and memorable. We can't wait to come back in the fall!

From the owner: "Thank you Rhonda for the wonderful review. We’re so happy that you enjoyed your time at Walnut Hill and can’t wait to have you back!"
Girls getaway to this adorable cabin was exactly what we needed - to unplug, catch up with each other, laugh and make some wonderful memories. The beds were super comfy, the outdoor fireplace would be super fun in the spring (we had rain and snow), the house has a great assortment of coffee and fun games to play when we couldn't get out to hike. Eric, the owner really pulls out the stops when it comes to customer service. We look forward to staying again in the milder weather.
