Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was beautiful, very clean & well stocked. We spent many wonderful hours on the back patio among the tall beautiful pines. We highly recommend this property.
The property, the location, the grounds and the inside as well as the outside is just amazing. There are swings and plenty of space for kids to roam around. Im definitely looking forward to staying here in the future God willing.
Beautiful house, as described. Had a wonderful time with my family, we have 3 kids 10 and under. The house and property were the perfect size for us! We will definitely be back :)
Absolutely beautiful cabin in the woods! Very nicely decorated and furnished. Loved our time here, peaceful and relaxing. Even though you're just minutes from town you would never know it. Surrounded by pine trees with the wind blowing through them, it was Heaven. We will definitely be back.

Birthday celebration
We held my moms 90th birthday party at the Dana Rosa ranch, which was a perfect location. House was as described in VRBO except the RV gates were locked. Advertisement said there was RV hookup but each time we emailed owner there was no response. A few days before our rental date I had to call VRBO to get help. I didn’t have any welcome instructions so VRBO contacted the owner and he emailed us the instructions. Better communication with owner is needed on future rentals.
We enjoyed our stay at this awesome cabin! Super kid friendly & lots to do close by. The property is huge & very private. We will be back next summer! The beds were very comfortable & the living room was cozy. The playground kept our kids happy all weekend.
Our annual trip from the valley to cooler weather in the pines has now been upgraded!
“Danarosa” exceeded our expectations for weekend getaways. The gorgeous log home, nestled among pines, has ALL you need for a family gathering. Beautifully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, space to be together, and when needed, alone time.
The hosts were extremely responsive to our needs.
We plan to make this space our annual retreat.
Well done Dana Family!!
One of the best VRBO places we have visited! The house was well stocked clean and a great layout. The property is very large and provides room to play hide and seek with all ages. The beds were very comfortable and overall a great setup! The location is perfect for pinetop area - offering quiet nights and mornings on the amazing patio extension. The hosts were very kind and had great communication with us.
We loved our stay here. The cabin is private and charming and the outside deck area is incredible. The bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. This is a great cabin to relax at, we will definitely be back.

Mountain cabin getaway
Our family enjoyed this well appointed, beautiful cabin. Our grandchildren enjoyed the playground set and grounds and the cabin was well stocked with amazing toys for little children. We’d definitely recommend this cabin and it’s welcoming western decor.
We had such a great stay here! It was extremely clean, which is so important now with covid. The property is huge and we had fun just walking around and exploring. The playground was a hit for my kids! Over all a great place and we hope to return!
A much needed break from the Phoenix heat. The house is lovely and is well-supplied. Our young companions loved the toys and the swing set. I loved our extremely comfortable bed. Looking forward to a cool weather stay so we can check out the fire pit. Awesome place!!!
We enjoyed our stay . The cabin was very clean especially with COVID-19 . We felt good about the cleanliness and how it was all prepared . The beds are super comfy , the front porch was amazing to eat and hang out on. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need . We recommend it to a ton of people who saw my pics on Social Media. Very close to lakes , Family Fun Park . We even went into town for a few things and that was very convenient. We definitely be back .
Everything was so clean and very peaceful! The cabin had everything we needed. Ideal location near everything. Love the porch!!! I can’t wait to go again. My kids enjoyed exploring and fishing in the nearby lakes! It was the perfect break!
Amazing beautiful cabin in the middle of the pines. We enjoy spending our day out by the back patio and watch the beautiful sunsets and mid afternoon storm relaxing. We sure will be returning again in the fall time.
If you're looking for a get-a-way in the pines, DANAROSA is the place for you. It feels like home the moment you open the door. A REAL high end log cabin with every modern convenience and located on 5 secluded acres surrounded by tall, towering pines, you'll feel like you're living in a real western era ranch home.
Matt Dana (the owner) invites you to experience his family's cowboy home located within minutes of the Show-low, Pinetop/Lakeside communities. After you book, ask Matt to guide you to local activities and restaurants because he's a fountain of knowledge about the area. Close to skiing (Sunrise Ski Area), fishing (local lakes and streams), hiking, horseback riding, golf, 4 wheeling... and any other outdoor activity you can think of, Matt will help you find the perfect place to make your vacation in the pines memorable and relaxing.
We're sold on the DANAROSA. We WILL return.

Great Family Vacation
We had such a great time staying at DanaRosa. Clean, welcoming, and relaxing. We had a blast building snowmen and playing in the snow. Took the kids up skiing a couple of days at Sunrise. Kids are already asking when we can go back and making plans for next year.

Beautiful well stocked property
We booked the Dana Rosa for my dads 70th birthday party. The party was perfect and everyone was super impressed with the house! The home and property was beautiful and well maintained. It was beyond perfect and had everything we needed and more! I loved that it had stuff for kiddos of all ages, kids eating utensils, high chair, toys and playhouse under the stairs and an outdoor slide and swing! Wish we could have spent more time there. We hope to and look forward to staying there again in the future. Perfect for families and parties.
