Great get away!
We enjoyed our 4 night stay at this cabin in the woods. Very relaxing with campfires several nights and relaxing to sit under the gazebo in the relaxing chairs just visiting. Many things to do around there from going to pick up diamond rocks to fishing and swimming in near by lakes.

Perfect Space for 2 Families
The cabin was comfortable and homey. Everything was nice (and the beds were comfortable), but we didn't feel like our children were going to break something everytime we turned around. The location was easy to get to and perfect for going on lots of day hikes. The outside areas were comfortable and we definetely took advantage of the fire pit to make smores. I would definetely recommend this cabin!

Nice cabin
Cute cabin with a good amount of space. Could honestly use a deep clean, it looks like it just gets a quick turnover clean between guests and that’s it (for example, lots of dust on top of the ceiling fan blades). But it’s nice, and the host is great at communicating, and it’s close to Payson and Horton Creek. Even the neighbors are nice and friendly. Would stay again.

The little big cabin
The name of the property is very accurate a nice place to stay. Very friendly neighbors. My only complaints were it wasn’t as clean as expected, the spider webs outside under the seating area and above the kitchen table, the beds were a bit high, I would recommend a step ladder for the beds, especially for short and older people, the upstairs bed room with the couch was hot, there was only a fan where as in the other room there was a cooler. We also ended up only having enough propane for one meal and the oven which was very dirty.The house was a nice size for a family of 10, for the amount of time we were there.

A home away from home
We rented Little Big Cabin for a family reunion, the location is great, still close enough to Payson for stores, restaurants and gas and 20 minutes from Willow springs where our family loves to fish, kayak and swim. This cabin has everything you need from fully stocked kitchen appliances and utensils if you want to cook or grill outside a beautiful backyard with plenty of outdoor seating, fire pit and backs right into Tonto forest with riding and hiking trails to Tonto creek. When you're done playing outside there are games, movies, wifi and access to your favorite channels plus a reading nook under the stairs, comfortable beds and beautifully decorated bathrooms. This cozy cabin has everything so pack light and come enjoy the perfect weather and scenery, we would definitely return. * The owners also are great with communication and answer any questions you may have promptly through text, calling or email.

Hidden Gem
This was a hidden gem! I agree with others that the pictures don’t do the cabin justice. There was so much space inside, & with it backing up to a forest we were able to atv, hike, & mtn bike! It was also very clean! We’ll for sure be back!

Cozy, clean, and so fun!
My family and I recently stayed here and had a great time. The pictures don’t do the space justice, the rooms and kitchen are a lot larger that it looks and we felt like everyone had plenty of space to enjoy their time. The kitchen and bathrooms had nice amenities that some vacation rentals don’t take the time or money to provide (shampoo, conditioner, soap, condiments, coffee). We also loved the location of the cabin and got to see free roaming cows in the forest, and enjoy a nice hike. For a 90 minute drive from the valley it’s a perfect family get away!

NOT SO LITTLE CABIN
Perhaps one of the best stays we have had in Payson, AZ! The cabin was exceptionally easy to get to and still had the secluded feel to it! This cabin was clean, well stocked, pretty much everything needed for a comfortable stay. We actually brought too many supplies with us that we did not end up using. Owner was easily accessible and very accommodating! We were extremely happy with our comfortable stay at this cabin and the wonderful snow we had for 3 days straight! It was a perfect Holiday! Hope to be back at some point in the future. Thank you so much for helping us make new memories here! Highly recommend!!!
