Perfect location
5/5 This house is in a great location and is well maintained. Eric (the owner) was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Friendly neighbors give pointers for some great spots to visit. Would certainly stay here again!
Whispering Pines
5/5 My family & I had a wonderful time at Whispering Pines. The cottage was decorated beautifully. Looked just like the photos. It was nice having 2 living rooms so that people could spread out into different areas. The dining room worked great for family meals & games. The 7 yr old & 4 yr old had fun pushing trucks down the hallway & between rooms. They also enjoyed the selection of movies/games in the front closet. We all enjoyed sitting out by the firepit at night. The string lights made it extra special. We sat in the rocking chairs during the rainstorm. My niece & her family took several scenic hikes & the 2 kids tried a little fishing. On our last day we all drove down to the creek . The scenery was beautiful. It was so great to see elk & cows along the road. Several of us took a ride into Payson to browse through a couple antique shops. The whole family really enjoyed the weekend & look forward to future trips at the cottage.
Eric, the owner, was a very gracious host.

Great cottage in the woods
5/5 We had a great stay, the cottage is deep in the woods, in a quiet little community, mins from water wheel falls.
