Kachina Pueblo, a great place to stay

At the peak of the mountain, with the best views in Payson and a full private guest house. Your well behaved dogs are invited too. The amenities include a small gym and a sauna. You have full access to the house and the entire 1 acre property. You are at the top of the mountain with a 360 degree view for miles. Like the Kachinas, we are perched atop one of Payson’s highest points. We are on a private neighborhood road, with a small section of the road that is unpaved on the drive up. Quiet and secluded with a wonderful view of Payson and the surrounding town and mountains.

A dream away from home

We live about 2 hours away and just needed a getaway for a couple days. The most amazing property on a hilltop, with privacy and amazing sunset views. Would recommend, and we will definitely be staying again.

Great location for outdoor fun!

This was our first time to the Payson area. We came to see fall foliage, hike and explore the area. It did not disappoint. The house is in a great location to do just that... explore the area. Plus it worked well for my husband and I and our dog!

Quiet and peaceful with a great view

Lovely split level house. Great view. Very quiet. Saw wildlife ...squirrels, elk, coyotes, rabbits, etc. Interior is not super modern, but the price is right. Tremendous value if you are wanting to get away and breath the cool, fresh mountain air.

Good Value

The property is as listed. The deck off the back has a quiet, somewhat obstructed view - a nice place for morning coffee. The home is an addition off the top of their garage. There are many places on the exterior that are in need of repair, but the rental price reflects that. The interior was clean with the exception of the bathroom floor. There was also an adult scorpion in the dishwasher after we used it. The code to get in was wrong when we arrived, and even when changed the door was difficult to use. We ended up just leaving it unlocked when we exited.

The home was in a very nice location. Off the beaten path with amazing views from the deck. The owners insured that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Unfortunately, the longer we stayed the more we noticed that there were some safety issues with the property. The railing on the deck outback was detached from the home and very very loose. There was some decking that was caved in which made me question the integrity of the supports below. There was definitely some dry rot under the windows in the living room, and some siding was peeling away from the home itself. A minor note of concern was that the outside light didn’t work. Either the bulbs needed to be changed or the switch just didn’t work. In all fairness, I did not contact the owners to potentially change the bulbs. There was a light at the end of the entryway to the home that worked and providing enough light for us in the evening.
