About this property

Pinetop Lakes CC Cabin, Central A/C, pet friendly

The cottage is on a beautifully treed and large quiet lot in a terrific golf course neighborhood with mostly seasonal homeowners. We use a professional cleaning company that limits the number of their clients to ensure the property is attended to at the highest levels. Our cottage features central air conditioning and heating to keep you comfortable during your stay.
The kitchen comes fully ready with updated slate gray kitchen appliances, granite counter tops, and a complete kitchen full of all amenities anyone would need to prepare fabulous meals. Two decks and four smart HDTV's. Stream using the convenience of subscription to Hulu via Wi-Fi using Roku remotes. In addition to the two decks, the patio features beautiful wood look porcelain tile and a gas fire pit to enhance the outdoor experience. The game room offers Lazy Boy recliners, a nine-foot shuffleboard table and electric fireplace in addition to the fireplace in the great room. The cottage has comfortable quality furniture and beds from Basset, Serta, and World Market as well as IKEA. We have recently added top grain leather great room furniture from Costco. Cookware, linens, spa bath towels, etc. are all top quality. The great room features amazing light from the transom windows during the day and star light views in the evening peering between the massive Ponderosa pines. In the winter, the wood burning fireplace in the great room adds comfort to enjoy those chilly evenings.
You'll find hotel amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, bath and body bars, coffee and more. Bring your boat, quads, and other outdoor toys. as the large circular driveway can accommodate anything that can be towed.
A short 25-minute drive to Sunrise Ski Park and only 2 miles to Hondah Casino, this area is the best in Pinetop as it is close to all of the outdoor recreation that the White Mountains offer yet just a few minutes to the restaurants, shopping, and the numerous local shops of Pinetop. It is absolutely the best location for ski, nature, golf, and town amenities.
Comfortable king and queen beds with down duvet comforters and quality linens to make your stay relaxing. The interior is well decorated with expansive front windows framing views of tall mature pines. Two twin roll-aways are available for additional sleeping for kids. The side yard has enclosed fencing to allow your dogs to roam with safety coated wire on the three-rail lodge pole fencing. The new four-foot-high fencing will accommodate most dogs. A 16 X 24 detached garage offers plenty of space to accommodate large vehicles and its own blue tooth stereo for those that like to make full use of the space. Unusual for this size property is a game room with a shuffleboard table, a poker table and Lazy Boy recliners to view a movie or just lounge and read a good book.
Access is available (with guest fee) to the Pinetop Lakes recreation center which offers swimming, billiards, hot tub, tennis, weight/exercise room and more! The HOA has increased the rates as of 01/01/2021. Check with owners to inquire about the increased rates for recreation center use as well as current amount of guest limitations.
Approximately 1/3 of our guests are return guests having stayed at least on one previous occasion. We think that speaks to the value, cleanliness, and quality of the cottage. International guests without U.S. residency should inquire about additional booking requirements.
Home Away/VRBO guest with 5-star guest ratings will receive immediate approval for bookings. We welcome new VRBO guests as well although approval may take a few hours to approve. We exclusively use VRBO for all of our bookings for the advantages it offers our guest as well hosts. All booking requests must be made at least 3 days prior to arrival.
If you are traveling with pets, please fully disclose the type, breed, and quantity. Our pet maximum is two pets including any additional guest that you may have visiting during your stay.
We do have exterior cameras on the property that do not interfere with guest privacy and assist in protecting guest and the host from any issues that may arise from the HOA or compliance with the rental agreement (no parties). Let us know if you would like additional information.

New favorite cabin!

This cabin exceeded our expectations! It’s perfect for 2-4 people but can accommodate up to 6 guests and 2 small dogs (as we discovered). We visit this area twice a year, and this is by far our favorite spot. The bedrooms had nice carpeting, master bath area had double sinks, and the kitchen was fully stocked with nice, matching dishes, pots & pans, a Keurig, etc. There were games, tvs, decent wi-fi and a working indoor fireplace. Judy, the owner, was incredibly kind, responsive, and attentive—from booking through check-out. She even went the extra mile to provide additional serving bowls for our Thanksgiving stay. The area was peaceful, and the cabin was absolutely delightful! The fenced backyard was perfect for our pups, there was plenty of hot water, lots of heaters and blankets, and we especially loved the shuffleboard table in the game room (#newfavorite). Our family, who joined us for the trip, loved it just as much—our nieces even said it was one of their favorite stays. I can’t recommend this cabin enough for anyone looking to escape the daily grind and enjoy the beauty of the mountains! We hope to return next year!

The perfect cabin get away.

Truly a perfect property. Ken and Judy obviously love the cabin and it shows. I have worked I hospitality since I was 16 years old and the amount of care and details this host provides is absolutely wonderful. We brought our two pups with us and they enjoyed a weekend away from the Phoenix heat. Truly 10/10 stay and I can’t recommend this property enough! Hopefully the hubby and I can get back there soon to have a shuffle board rematch!

Ideal Home

Cabin was perfect, and we will definitely go back. Wonderful down to the last detail. Loved wall of windows to view pine trees from the living room, dining area, and kitchen. Immaculate, super comfortable space layout and beds, and extremely well-maintained. Beautiful decor. Nice outdoor space. Great location. Had no issues at all during our stay. Prior communications with hosts proved Judy to be extremely responsive, thoughtful, and caring. Highly recommend this home!

Sweet get away

We have enjoyed location of the property and surrounding areas. Owners were kind and receptive to few communication requests we have sent. Property was very well stacked with additional supplies needed for a comfortable stay. Bedding was super comfortable and great quality. It took me a moment to get used to electric stove and different types of frying pans, but that is just personal preference. it was a great stay overall and we all enjoyed it. thank you!

Pinetop-Lakeside Birthday

We love the cabin. It is a very nice place and well maintained. Close to all the good restaurants in town and the neighborhood was very nice!! We will probably return to the same place next year and probably a longer stay. The only compliant we had was the operation of the TV's to get live TV shows that we normally watch. We are not extremely tech savvy folks. This will certainly not keep us from returning. HULU is not my favorite network. LOL!!

Couldn't have asked for a better place

This house was lovely. So much thoughtful attention to detail for the guest experience. Prompt response from host. We enjoyed daily walks in the neighborhood with our beagle, who loved the completely enclosed back yard. We were grateful for the central air conditioning because it got pretty hot when we were there in July, and A/C is not easy to find in Pinetop. WiFi was pretty good, cell coverage (Verizon) not so great but that's true all through the area. This house was our best experience on VRBO!

About the host

Hosted by Ken and Judy Petersen

Host profile image
As former Pinetop residents, we sold our family home when we were relocated but wanted to maintain a piece of the mountain as a second home. We discovered this little gem shortly before we moved in 2002 and have been expanding and updating the property ever since. Initially we used the property as a long term rental. After returning back to Arizona five years later, we then decided we wanted to enjoy the cabin also and occasionally reserve a weekend for ourselves to escape the Arizona desert heat and to enjoy the best of the year October fishing.. We added a master bathroom with dual vanities and two walk in closets for both bedrooms. Total added square footage added was about 200 square feet. We are continually updating the home. In 2014 updates include new stone on the chimney and wainscot exterior, new king bed in the master, décor corbels on the exterior, and a new gas BBQ grill. For 2015, new exterior paint and added interior décor. In 2016 we added Trane central air conditioning and the best available roll-a-way European bed for extra guest. For 2017 we have added upgraded slate gray kitchen appliances. For 2018, a new detached garage was added with covered breezeway to enhance winter ski access. The former garage was converted into a game room with shuffleboard and an electric fireplace. In the Summer of 2020, we updated the great room furniture with a new top grain leather couch and chair. For 2022, the bathroom vanities have been upgraded with natural stone and new Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring installed in all areas except for the bedrooms. In 2024 new carpet was installed in the bedroom and for 2025 we will be converting the wood burning fireplace into a gas unit. We enjoy sharing this property with our family and guests as we reach our goal, which is to enjoy this as our summer retirement home.

Why they chose this property

This site built home sits on a special lot with Blue spruce and Ponderosa Pines as well as a few Quaking Aspen. Silver Leaf Maple trees add a beautiful texture as the breeze stirs the leaves. Blue spruce and Limber pines are additional varieties you'll find on the property as well as indigenous wild rose plants. We have added Maple trees and a few shrubs to enhance the mountain feel provide a true escape from the desert. The cottage sits far back on the lot which allows an expansive front yard full of massive trees inviting the mountain wildlife such as squirrels and blue jays to visit regularly. Bicycles and pedestrians outnumber cars on the gently rolling street capped off with cul de sacs on both ends. It's a terrific street for a quick bike ride or an evening stroll. The circular drive allows easy access in winter conditions for all vehicles. The location is the absolute best with the town of Pinetop a couple of minutes away as well as the closest area to skiing and all the National Forest wonders to explore. Hondah casino is just 2 miles away. There are three golf courses within a stone's throw, Pinetop Lakes, Pinetop Country Club, and White Mountain Country Club. The latter two are private courses. As a former full time resident, this neighborhood is one of the best and was an easy choice to select as a second home.

What makes this property unique

Front windows allow for an amazing drafty breeze in the great room. When opened with the screened storm door, the summer mountain breeze is cool and incredible. On those few warm summer days, central air conditioning will keep you comfortable. Most cabins in Pinetop do not have A/C so this is unique to the area. The natural rock fireplace with masonry construction is rare. The floor plan allows for maximum usage of space and feels much larger than it is. The game room is perfect for friendly shuffle board competition or relaxing and reading on one of the Lazy-boy recliners. This well lite room has four windows allowing lots of light and mountain air cross ventilation. In the evening, turn on the electric fireplace and soak in that mountain ambiance. If you get chilly, the fireplace has a two stage heater as well. The cottage is tastefully decorated with most furnishings new or updated continuously. Words like comfortable and quaint are overused but really do describe the feeling here. The cottage is perfect for relaxing outside shaded by huge pines. Relax on the deck or the tile patio to enjoy the mountain air and the trees. For those days and evenings in June where the temperature gets a little warm, there is central air conditioning to cool down and ensure a great nights sleep.
The detached garage with breezeway access to the the new recreation room is perfect for those ski getaways with plenty of space for ski gear and a shuffleboard table to entertain the group for hours by the new electric fireplace. Perfect for couples, retirees, and small families. The Pinetop-Lakes recreation center AS OF 01/01/2021, THE HOA HAS RAISED RENTAL GUEST RATES TO THE REC CENTER. CHECK WITH OWNERS AS THE COST HAS RISEN SIGNIFICANTLY. At this time we would suggest alternate activities that exclude the recreation facilities. Pinetop Lakes golf course is in the neighborhood and is just a stones throw away.
