Beautiful Property!
We had our church youth retreat at this wonderful property! The home was amazing for housing and feeding 18 teens and 7 adults. The home is inviting, spacious and comfortable. We were able to sit all together to worship, have teachings and prayer groups. The teens loved the game room and hiking the area and the kitchen is a dream for cooking for a large group. The owner is kind and hospitable. We were blessed graciously with our stay!

Best group cabin in the pines!
This is the second time we have stayed at this wonderful rental with 4 families and kids ranging from age 5-11. It couldn’t be more perfect from the giant gourmet kitchen to the bunk room to the ping pong table and fire pit. The boys enjoyed the basketball hoop in the yard as well. Peggy could not be more accommodating in all respects. Thank you!

Great house for a big group!
My group of friends had a great time at Pegs! The place had enough space for a big group of adults and all the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed and the double fridge and double dishwashers were very nice. Peg was quick to response when I had questions and made sure we had all the information we needed. We would all stay here again!

Best of the best!
We absolutely love this home and the property! The owner and property manager are 100% invested in ensuring you have an amazing stay. The house is expansive with room for everyone to be a part of the group fun or sneak away for a quiet nap as needed. You won't find a nicer kitchen, this one turns my two son-in-laws in to instant chefs who want to do all the cooking. The outdoor space feels like home for us, it is a large lot with a fence around the perimeter. This makes it very comfortable to let the littles meander in and out to take advantage of outdoor time. If you are a large family or a group of families, you will love this property and home, don't hesitate, this one is a gem!

La casa es muy grande y bonita, tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unos dias increibles en familia, el vecindario es muy tranquilo y hermoso. A mi parecer la cocina es la mejor parte de la casa. Gracias a Peg que siempre estuvo al pendiente y respondia inmediatamente. Esperamos pronto poder volver a hospedarnos en su hermosa casa.

Amazing!!
This property was simply amazing! There were 8 adults that stayed and we could of had another 8 and had plenty of room!! The kitchen was a dream. Loved the 2 living rooms and game room. Front and back patios were both used. Beds were extremely comfortable. Even the bunk bed room beds were all queen size and mattresses were so much better than any bunk bed mattresses I've tried. John, the property contact was easy to get a hold of. I have nothing negative to say. We're a group of cousins and we switch locations every year. Everyone loved this property so much we'll be coming back next year!

100% positive and incredibly place. Both times I’ve stayed here we’ve had our family come from New Zealand and stay with us. Special times! I’ve associated this rental with a de facto family “reunion” so it will always be our first choice in Show Low/Lakeside/Pinetop area.

"Friends and Family" was clean, the beds comfortable, and the wifi easy to use. There was enough room for the 11 of us at the dinner table. Kitchen had all the cookware and utensils. Porches and decks were nice to enjoy the cool weather. Basket ball court, disc golf, air hockey, and ping pong were all enjoyable and kept the young ones occupied. We will stay there again.
