Hosts are wonderful and very quick to respond to any messages, and we so enjoy staying at their house. We love the front patio, back deck and lovely home. We have gone back for the last 3 years and will go again next year. And, they are pet friendly.

We had a great time visiting Pinetop at the Hilltop Hideaway. Hosts were great, check in and stay went smoothly so we did not require any additional assistance. House and amenities were exactly as described. We have stayed up in Pinetop at different VRBOs each year over several years, this property has secured 1st place with us and the dog as well. :)Our dog loved the big fenced yard and the closed front porch as well. There are other dogs on the other bordering properties, so if you have reactive dogs that would be bothered by occasional barking / standard dog behaviors you may want to prepare for that. Neighbors were friendly. Plenty of room to park and relax. Overall we had a great time and would love to visit again!

Nice, clean home. We love the special touches, like S’mores to enjoy. The owner was very communicative and helpful, which I also appreciated. The neighbors surrounding leave their dogs out all day and into the night and there was constant dog barking. Absolutely no fault of the owner.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Beautiful, well decorated cabin with lots of activities. Big gorgeous yard that is well fenced for our little dog and huge deck with fire pit, table and other areas to relax and watch TV outside. Well stocked with everything you need. Would stay again except..Cons: Communication with host wasn't great. At first they responded quickly with walking directions to lake that was "10-15 minutes" It is NOT, after 25 minutes of walking we had to turn around and carry our little pug back to cabin because he couldn't walk any farther. The internet went out and we tried to reach host with no reply. Also tried to reach host about a later check out due to no sleep from bed quality and still no response. Even after check out, still have not heard from host. There are also barking dogs on each side of yard that started our little guy every time he went out. The main reason we cannot stay again is the master bed was so uncomfortable we got very little sleep over our two night stay. We actually even tried sleeping on the recliners on the couch the second night but tried the bed after awhile and woke up needing Motrin and thankfully a heating pad we had brought. But the property and cabin are adorable.

Great stay in Pinetop!

I took my family to Pinetop for a quick getaway and to go skiing. The location of this property was great. Close to all the restaurants and also in walking distance to Rainbow Lake. The home was fully stocked w/ everything we needed to cook meals. We came back from a long day of skiing, put some burgers on the grill, put the fire on, and relaxed and watched a movie. The house was clean and communicating w/ the owner was great. The backyard was large and great for our dog. This was a great stay for my family and and we are happy to recommend this property to anyone!

Summer visit to Lakeside

This is our 2nd visit to this property. This year, we stayed for 3 weeks, to get of the summer heat in Mesa AZ. We love the house, the yard, the front patio and back deck, fire pit…and so much more. The host is always quick to respond to any message. We hope to be back again next year.

Heavenly stay at the Hideaway

We are repeat guests at the Hideaway. Very grateful for the chance to spend 2 weeks enjoying the escape from the heat. The property owners are so attentive, and communication is fantastic, we felt very welcome. The property and all the amenities make for a lovely stay, very close to some great day trip options if desired or just relaxing on the extended patio in the pines. We would love the chance to return, perhaps with a longer-term rental. Only dislike (VRBO) their fees are obscene, the owners deserve those funds. IMO.
