Vacation rentals in Forest Lakes Estates

We are always looking for someplace that is literally in the middle of nowhere. This would be the place that was exactly what we were looking for. About 30 minutes outside of Payson down a windy Mountain Road and then 3 miles of dirt road. After that, you come upon this beautiful cabin on the water. There are some neighbors that I do believe they are probably vacation homes as we only saw two people the entire time we were there, and they were across the other side of the water. Like he states this is an old cabin, but I think that helps with the charm of being in a secluded location. As others have stated yes the driveway is steep but nothing that’s not manageable. Brian was very communicative and even helped with some local antique stores to visit . He even has adorable vintage and antique touches all over the house. We would absolutely stay here again.

What a great find. Home was exactly what was shown and the closeness to the water was amazing. The sounds from the water were incredible. Everything you need was provided by Alissa and her communication was prompt and helpful. We didn't use half of what was there- ie: pool table, ping pong table, fire pit. We brought our granddaughter and daughter and made great memories. We can't wait to come back and continue exploring. Highly recommend the hike to the railroad tunnel. So cool to see that history.

The place was set up for a big family like mine, the price was in our budget and was so peaceful. The kids loved the treehouse and gameroom.

We felt right at home at the cabin! Everything was wonderful and Jake was super responsive with all of our questions. We plan to stay again!

Perfect weekend getaway. Didn’t want to leave Nicky’s place. Leave it at that. Will definitely be returning.

First time in Gisela, small community just 20 mins southeast of Payson. Tucked away, but so easy to get to town if needed. I’m grateful to hosts who allow dogs and we stayed 11 nights. Jill’s place is cute, cozy and had everything I needed, especially peace and quiet as we came to escape the Valley fireworks. Her property is great and has a huge fully-fenced yard. We did encounter roaming dogs in the area most days. So if your dog is reactive, you’ll want to be aware. Met several friendly neighbors. Felt very safe in the area. The kitchen is well stocked, including nice pots and pans, sharp knives and a great stove. The bed was super comfy! I also appreciated the heating system since I’ve stayed places with only wood-burning stoves. There is a note you must take all your trash with you. Internet works great, allowing remote work and binging shows. Cell service can be spotty but was able to complete calls. Wonderful getaway and sad to leave. Thanks for sharing your place with us, Jill!

we stayed this weekend with all the family in this wonderful cabin, it was super spacious and very cozy it was amazing we plan on renting from Robyn again ❤️

This was our second stay here and it was just as perfect as the first. It was the perfect place to chill and spend some family time. We mostly stayed in and cooked, played pool, and watched movies. We went to the county park which was super close and spent some time outdoors there as well. We love the home itself and the location for escaping the valley. Definitely recommend for a family getaway. My only recommendation because we did the same thing both times- make sure you have “Heber” in the address or you might wind up at the same address across the road in Overgaard. Completely our mistake because Denice gave us perfect instructions. I just followed the GPS and didn’t notice until we arrived :)

Great place! Great stop between Petrified Forest and PHX!
