NOT WHAT WAS ADVERTISED. LEFT. COULD NOT STAY.
1. NO central A/C. Assumed there was as listed in amenities. (indoor temp between 82- 84 degrees) VERY WARM Because the environment was so uncomfortable, we left; rented a hotel room; returned home the next day....our 5 to 6 hr drive. This also happened due to the following: 2. No infö sheet available in rental for hosts' contact numbers or general information. 3. Called VRBO to get host's phone number 4. Owner argumentative on phone trying to convince us to opening windows and doors would solve the problem Told A/C a unit only in an upstairs bedroom. We were not planning to stay upstairs. Owner's suggested opening windows and doors. The living room window did not open and if it did, it is trapped by the AZ room. This room has two windows in a corner with broken locks and latches, which would not keep window open without placing a wooden block in there. However, we could only manage to open one of those windows. Screens in need of repair. No screen on patio door. SAFETY an issue with easy access to the inside of house PLEASE refer to review of 7/18/24, which states many of the same issues. Multiple communications with owners did not result in any resolution of these issues. Having rented with VRBO multiple times, this experience was a first! WE EXPECTED AT ARRIVAL (as required at 4PM) TO MOVE INTO THE RENTAL WITHOUT ANY OF THE ABOVE ISSUES. We are working at obtaining a full refund.

False Advertising - NOT Air Conditioned
This cabin is NOT air conditioned. We drove 5 hours to find a cabin which was 82 degrees in the kitchen & hotter upstairs. The only AC unit was a mobile unit in 1 bedroom upstairs which DID NOT WORK! The filters on it were filthy and kept tripping the unit. Even if it did work, it would mean leaving the door open to the rest of the cabin to try to cool the rest of the house down. Downstairs had 3 fans going circulating warm air. Normally if its 65 outside you open windows to let cool air in. Can't do that here. The living room window etc doesn't open & if it did it's trapped by the AZ room which has 2 windows in a corner with broken locks & latches that don't hold up the windows w/out placing a wood block there. As the locks on the windows were broken anyone could slide the windows up & get into the AZ room & then into the house as the doors to the house don't lock! Safety issues! The yard was full of dog crap. Prior people didn't pick up after their dog the entire time they were there & the cleaning people don't go outside I guess & look. The yard was not clear as in the pictures and had weeds etc. growing throughout making avoiding dog bombs difficult. Kennel provided was disgusting. Hosts while quick to call back were argumentative on the phone about the AC & situation. Husband was dismissive about the temp & stated ACs won't work if temp is 65 outside. Homes in 112 degree heat was cooler than this place & cleaner. 7/18/24 & still fighting w/ VRBO to refund remaining $ owe

I brought my girls basketball team to stay for a tournament in Eagar/Springerville. An easy 15 minute drive there, and a good central location from which to explore the eastern White Mountains. Well appointed cabin, clean and big enough for all of us. We've stayed twice now and will look to do so again.

Location - 15 min to Safeway/Bashas , off the main road but still quiet, next door neighbors have a sweet blue heeler and some bulls/horses to see. We enjoyed a free tubing/sledding hill just a couple miles past “Pole Knoll Recreation Area” <- if you put that into your navigation you can’t miss it on the left. They provided 4 sleds but I think you’d have more fun if you brought tubes!

Get away for the holidays
This was a large cabin in the middle of Northeast Arizona. We wanted to get away from the hustle of big city life! Next door was a ranch with five steer, and we could see a few houses scattered in all directions, but 20 minutes from Springerville. Big tables to play games, do jigsaw puzzles. Enclosed back yard for our two dogs to run around in. We stayed for two weeks in December, snow on the ground. The main house is wrapped by an Arizona room across the south and west walls to help buffer the cold. A pot belly stove in the corner of the living room provided heat. A thermostat kicked it on and off automatically, which unfortunately filled the house with toxic gas fumes, requiring us to periodically open the doors to get fresh air. We stayed indoors the entire time. DirectTV, NetFlix and DVD player was nice to relax to. The water is "high mineral content" reddish color. Owners said safe to drink, but our two dogs would not touch it, and family followed suit. We bought bottled water for our two-week stay. We used the red water to shower and brush our teeth. All of the appliances were off until the morning of our arrival. Ice cream melted in the freezer, and food spoiled in the refrigerator. Even after two weeks, the refrigerator was not cold enough to keep food safe. The microwave did not work, and the owners ordered a new one to be installed after we left. The gas oven and range worked well, we were able to cook a turkey and roast for our special meals.

Nice place to stay
My family and I stayed at this property over a weekend and had a great time. There were some minor issues but they were remedied by the property owner. The property is beautiful and well kept. It has everything you need and more. Super kid friendly, lots of toys and space for the kids to run and play. Firepit in the back is nice for those cold nights. There is a really nice gas stove/oven if you like to cook as well as a grill. I've stayed in Pinetop, Greer, Eagar, Alpine and now Nutrioso. I would say Nutrioso is the most secluded. There are houses around but just spaced further apart than the other areas I have stayed. At night its really quiet and you can see a lot of stars.

Fun family getaway
Had an amazing and relaxing time, this cabin was spacious and easy to find. We had all the amenities you could possibly need! Enjoyed all the quality family time playing with the endless board games, and of course being outside in the cool weather! The Nelson reservoir was super close, although we didnt catch any fish, we saw lots of Elk, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Connecting to the Wifi, and using the TV was easy and convenient. If we had to make one recommendation it would be to have easier access to the creek behind the house, like a gate from the yard, with a path. Definitely will keep this place on our must visit again list....perhaps for the holidays, or when there is snow!!!

Beautiful Home and Property
We are from the valley and were looking forward to getting away to the cool country. We were NOT disappointed. It was almost 30 degrees cooler in Nutrioso. The property was off the highway enough as not to hear any traffic but, not so far off that you would feel isolated. There is a neighbor pretty close but it didn't matter, the stay was very quiet. The home itself was gorgeous with almost every amenity you could think of (except air conditioning). We had a very relaxing, quiet, nice time. We will most likely rent again.

This is our third stay at this retreat and it didn't disappoint. The cabin was clean and well stocked with fun toys and games for the little ones.

We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin is charming and met all of our needs (me, my husband, our three children, and my in-laws). The views of the mountains from the cabin were beautiful and my kids loved exploring the fenced backyard. They also loved staying in the Bear Room! It is the perfect kid's room complete with a twin bed, bunk bed, and a fun loft. We spent lots of time outdoors and fished at the nearby reservoir. The owners were more than helpful and provided lots of information not only about the property but nearby things to do and see. We would love to come back and stay again!

Nice little getaway
This is our second stay at the Palmer Cabin and was the best vacation we had all summer. We love that there is plenty of space for the kids to run around and lots of toys and games to keep them busy. My kids loved the hammock out back and the lofted space in the bear room. We enjoyed dinners in the sun room with the beautiful view of the surrounding greenery through the large windows. I personally loved the beds which were all very comfy. We spent a good time at the surrounding lakes and forest areas during the day but my kids couldn't wait to get back to the cabin! We plan to stay again.
