Nice, quiet, get away space
We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and wide open space (no neighbors breathing down your neck). You can tell Jill takes pride in ownership. We loved spending mornings and evening on the large, open porch which had a propane fire pit/place. We went for walks through the 'neighborhood' in the mornings and evenings. Lots of dogs, some unleashed, which has nothing to do with Jill, but just a consideration for anyone afraid of dogs. Hiking was close by, which is why we stayed near Payson. Jill emailed me after I booked the property to ensure that I was aware that this was not in the city of Payson. That was nice. She stated it was about 10 miles from Payson. We did not know it was winding roads with switch backs and that 10 miles takes about 15-20 minutes to drive. It IS beautiful country, not complaining, but planning was a must so that we didn't have to take that drive multiple times. I did not know that the listing was a mobile home either. I just think that might be something to add to the listing instead of "cottage". Overall, it was quiet as advertised, and you could certainly destress. Jill was quick to respond to any questions. Check-in and check-out were easy. If your vibe is to escape and and chill at the property for your vacation, this is a great spot.

The property is not in Payson, it's 30 minutes from Payson false advertising. The neighbor works from home Welder, so a generator and banging all day long. Not peaceful at all

It was a really nice place
The house is a very nice property in a very quite location. Even though Vrbo has it in Payson, the property owner reached out to make sure we knew it was 15 miles south of Payson. We highly recommend this property.

Payson trip
This is the worst advertised property I’ve ever seen, the address says Payson but it isn’t in Payson. Wouldn’t recommend if wanting to stay in Payson, also won’t be using Vrbo anymore as they allow this kind of misdirection and false advertisement of location.

Lovely House
The home was very clean and very well equipped. There was not one thing we needed that wasn't there. The property was lovely and we enjoyed the cooler weather. Only downside was website says it is half mile from Payson. It is more like 16 miles from downtown (5 miles of curvy road) which prevented trips to town in the dark. We did have a very relaxing week.

Our Stay in Gisela, AZ
We try to get away from our home over the 4th, due to excessive fireworks and a dog that does not like them. We thought we were headed to Payson, but as it turned out our get away was in Gisela. A small community 13 miles south of Payson. The home is welcoming and comfortable and has everything you need. Roosters crowing every morning when we stepped outside; bull frogs every evening. It was so peaceful I was ready to move. Fenced yard for our small dogs and seating available when outside. There was nothing you could ask for if you are looking for relaxing place from your hectic life.

Adventure
A beautiful little gem outside of Payson. We were looking for remote place to let our dog run loose and this for the bill! Only complaint is the back fence is not secure so our pup did get out once. The house it's self is extremely cozy. It's the yard and porch that make this place special because they are beautiful! If you're looking for a place to get some R &R outdoors this is the place for you!

Great House/Inaccurate Location
The house is lovely and provides for a very comfortable stay. The host has gone above and beyond to make it enjoyable and uplifting to stay there. She leaves many handwritten notes, has provided comfortable furnishings and a well stocked kitchen with quality appliances. (I like to cook when I'm on the road) The front porch is large and so welcoming. It provides for many different seating arrangements. The location descriptors in the VRBO listing are inaccurate. It states the house is 0.3 miles from Payson Center, 6 min walk to the hospital and 3-4 minute drive to most restaurants, etc. All of that is incorrect. The house is actually in Gisela a 30 minute drive from Payson. We didn't get the actual address and directions until the day before we traveled so it was too late to get a full refund (the host did offer a 50% refund) and it was too late to try and book another house. We come to Payson often to visit our son's family and be involved in their daily activities. The location of the house complicated that greatly. I did reach out to VRBO to correct the listing.

Location in Gisela not Payson
Location when booking claims to be in Payson. Only after paying do you get true location which is 18 miles south of Payson. Booked the day before trip so trip was non refundable. We booked to visit snow in Payson only to find out we were not 13 miles from town of Payson like the vague description says but 18 miles below Payson where there was no snow just mud rain and sleete. There is a very long winding road you have to drive on for 5 miles before even getting to the 87 to drive into Payson. The host blames VRBO on the actual location of her listing and takes no responsibility for the misleading information. The house is cozy but the neighborhood has many houses that have collections of junk in their yards. There is also a septic issue in the bathroom with a very foul odor. The heat in the house is mainly a very tiny space heater that makes a squeaking noise intermittently. We tried using the actual heater but every time it was turned on it would be turned off by the host. It’s a nest heater which can be controlled remotely. She would not let it go above 50 degrees. The large reclining couch which faces the tv does not work. Only the small love seat which the far left seat you can barely see the tv from works. This was a very disappointing trip and we were glad when it was over. Informed host of the biggest issue which was the location but she just argues and goes in circles not wanting to fix the problem. It will end up costing her money losing guests because of bad reviews

Great for family vacation
The cottage and location where great. I came out with my two kids ages 5 & 6 and to my surprise I saw many children around the age of my boys which made us feel a lot more comfortable. The cottage is located about 25 mins below Payson, but I didnt mind the drive since the scenery is beautiful. The host was accommodating and made sure our check in and stay went smoothly.

Better than we expected
Upon arriving to the property we found that the place was cute and quaint. The patio was warm and inviting with a lot of shade from nearby trees to allow us to remain cool even in the sun. Plenty of seating and different varieties of seats to enjoy the patio in any way you choose. There are a few games on the property to enjoy. The 5 foot fence surrounding the property was very secure which allowed our hyper activw black mouth cur the ability to run play and unleash all of his zoomies with no worries about his safety. The interior of the house had two very cosy and well decorated rooms. Living room had all the amenities needed to enjoy yourself including games to play. Kitchen was well equipped for any cooking needs as well as a wonderful farm sink that we wanted to take with us but couldn't obviously. Bathroom was lovely well equipped and even had a first aid kit available in case we needed it. The night skies were absolutely amazing and we were able to use our telescope in order to enjoy it. All in all the property was amazing, and all around the free-roaming animals added some extra interest for us and our pup. The random hummingbirds were a fun treat as well. All of our needs were met, and it was a wonderful birthday vacation. Property owner was very responsive and answered questions in a very timely manner. We will definitely be returning. Skooby Doo says thank you dooby doo!

Misrepresented
The property is extremely misrepresented. The property is not in Payson, AZ as indicated on the VERBO site. The physical address is actually in Gisela, AZ. 11 miles south of Payson to Rye, AZ and approximately 5 miles in the country from Rye, AZ. There were some basic needs (heating/plumbing) issues. When the host was contacted she was minimally helpful, giving the impression she knew of the issues but chose to be a bit argumentative about them. Phone reception was very sketchy. As a result of the issues, we left before our check out date.
