Strawberry, Arizona is a popular weekend getaway place for the desert-dwellers that escape the summer heat from the Phoenix and Scottsdale area. Strawberry sets at an elevation of about 6,000 feet which means meadows of springtime wildflowers, cool refreshing summer temperatures, brilliant autumn colors, an abundance of wildlife and tranquility. Strawberry AZ shares the pristine scenic beauty of the Mogollon Rim Country with its sister towns of Payson and Pine, Arizona. The Rim Country boasts the largest stand of Ponderosa Pine forests in the world. The historic charm remains today as exemplified by the oldest schoolhouse in Arizona which was built in 1885. As a relic of the old pioneering days, the Strawberry schoolhouse still stands and is a frequent stop for visitors to Strawberry. It is a must-see spot on any visit to the region. We allow you to self check in and out. We have a separate fenced off, RV space off to the side of the backyard where we spend occasional weekends. If we are there, we are readily available for any issues or concerns. We are also always available through VRBO. Whole home is yours. Great backyard to enjoy your time in the woods. Spend time relaxing on the front porch or in the back yard. Grill available on back porch. Our home is pet friendly (up to 2 small dogs or one large dog). We do have security cameras placed both in the front and in the back of the home and facing the driveway. While this home is well appointed for a family, it may not be suitable for young children, under 2 years of age as there are many items in the home that can be damaged or broken by little fingers. Our home sleeps 7 people max. Prior permission must be given for any additional people. The back yard is not fenced and it backs up to a creek bed that flows around 3 months every year. Car is recommended. Please note that the cabin is located at a higher elevation (5800 feet) and the last 1/2 mile access to the house is via relatively flat dirt road. In winter or stormy weather, snow or mud may make it preferable to have all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. There is room for 3 vehicles to park in the driveway and additional parking if needed on the side of the house for your toys. The entrance to the cabin is up 3 steps onto the porch. Hand railing is provided, but no ramp is available. TPT# 21465610About pets:Pets allowed: dogs less than 20 lbs per pet (limit 2 pets total).2 dogs, 15lbs each.
