Blackberry Cabin is a cozy log cabin set back on an acre of pine and fruit trees in the community of Whispering Pines.

They get to watch the birds and squirrels out the windows while I hike and rock climb in the area. This year we were almost derailed by the Brady fire, but persevered and I am so glad we did. Gabriel kept in great communication about closures, etc, and we ended up getting good storms so there was no smoke or any concerns about evacuation. Thanks again for sharing this great little spot with me!"

Please Note!! Due to the remote location of this property, there is a few things to be aware of when booking your stay.
1. Water in this area is limited and there is no city water access. Local wells provide the water supply and there is a rain water catchment system. Water conservation is VERY important when staying at a remote cabin like this. There is plenty of water, just not enough to waste.
2. Abundant wildlife is also present as in all forests. Don't be surprised to find Elk or other critters living in the forest with you.
3. In this fast paced life we live in now, sometimes it's nice to just unplug and unwind without the distractions of the everyday life. If you must stay connected, there is wireless internet connectivity that can be provided for an additional fee.
4. There are exterior cameras on property. These are to protect our guests, the property owners, and who are we kidding... we like to watch the wildlife from time to time ourselves when we are not there.
5. There MAY be a FIRE BAN in place when you are interested in coming. No open wood burning flame is allowed at the cabin any time. Please check the Tonto Forest web site for alert ban status: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/tonto/alerts-notices

We're all concerned during these chaotic times but we want to ensure you that we're taking every possible measure to ensure the home is comfortable, accommodating, and properly prepared for your arrival.

Fresh, clean mountain air and the scent of Pine and Juniper trees make this the perfect escape to enjoy a cool weekend or an extended vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. We value our guests and look forward to becoming your new favorite vacation hideaway.

It includes its own private pier, canoe and paddle boat so you can get to Giraffe Island without any trouble. The island has a floating dock with table and chairs, lounges and an outdoor spiral heater. Perfect for dinner, lunch and fishing or just relaxing.

The 200 square foot covered outdoor living area under the treehouse is the perfect place to curl up with a good book, or to take a nap after hiking up our private Stairway to Heaven Trail. Try going out and finding the petroglyphs, an adventure on its own. Arrowheads? Crystals? Geodes? They are all in the area. It also has a gas fire pit and electric heater for locking in the heat when the curtains that enclose it are pulled on cool days or evenings.

Just outside the gate is almost two miles of the East Verde River to explore. We backup to the Tonto National Forest, so no one is behind us. With the lush greenery and all the additional unique sitting areas, this property truly looks like it was plucked straight out of a storybook. Bird House Patio, Hammock Patio, Hillside Patio, Manzanita Patio, Waterwheel Patio and of course, the Island Patio. There are seventeen mature Willow Trees that circle the spring fed pond, with benches placed around it, for your enjoyment.

With the propane two burner Blackstone Grill, cooking will be a breeze. Sitting on the outdoor patio with a prep station and outdoor sink, what more could you ask for? Want to take a break from preparing meals and cleaning up? There are a variety of fine restaurants in Payson and Pine, …. and we are right in between both of them. 6 miles outside of Payson, and 7 miles to Pine.

The treehouse has a mini split system for heating and cooling, and on the upstairs balcony is an infrared heater the sits over the outdoor bar that overlooks the 2-acre pond. You will have a birdseye view of the ducks, eagles, otters, wildlife and fish jumping on the pond. Yes. The pond is stocked and since it is private, no fishing license is required. From here the sunsets over the top of the mountain on the other side of the East Verde River, and the reflection in the pond is mesmerizing. Don’t forget your camera.

The Treehouse interior has a private bathroom with a sink and a shower. We are a green environment, so the toilet is a modern low flush system. We are also on a gray water system for water from the sink and shower but have well water going into the treehouse, so it is drinkable. We also supply bottled water to get you started in the mornings for your coffee or tea.

There is a sitting area in front of the Arcadia glass door, with a fold out futon loveseat if you prefer separate sleeping quarters. (We know we are going to have those fishermen wanting to stay) but with only being 196 sq ft, we only accept two adult-guests. The treehouse is not suitable for children or pets. Because the pond is like a small lake (and it is not fenced….like a swimming pool) CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED FOR INSURANCE REASONS.

The dining table in the treehouse seats two and is attached to the Queen Size Murphy Bed. It folds up underneath when the bed is lowered.

There is also counter space with a sink, coffee pot, microwave and an air fryer/toaster oven. The roll out counter has all the dishes and accessories you will need, including a small crockpot and ice bucket.

Since we are more like a traditional bed and breakfast, the refrigerator has continental breakfast items such as boiled eggs, butter, power snacks, milk, juices and an assortment or cheese, olives and a meat tray. All are individual size and individually wrapped…. To get you started on this one-of-a-kind adventure.

There are also complimentary pastries, cereal, chips, cookies, crackers ( also individually wrapped). . . and other surprises, along with coffee, hot chocolate, and an assortment of teas, soft drinks, beer and wine.

Downstairs, on the outdoor living room, next to the gas Blackstone grill is an ice chest, for anything else you may need a cooler for.

Treehouse robes are supplied for your use while staying with us, along with beach towels for the hot tub and infrared sauna. If you like resort amities, but prefer a rural, relaxed setting, you will love the Treehouse. Check out the medicine cabinet for anything you may have forgotten. We want your stay to be a memory to cherish forever.

This property requires lots of maintenance. The innkeepers live on the property. There is also another rental on the property if you want to bring two friends or family. It is also a two-person cottage. This property is a 7-acre estate, so they are not close together, and there is lots of privacy. The property is very extraordinary and one of a kind. If you’re ever longed to step into the pages of a fairytale, now's your chance. How often can you stay in a Treehouse?

- "Wonderful one of a kind experience, everything we needed was available and easy to find. We loved the privacy and accomodations!!!!!" - "We were delighted with our short 2 day stay in Brenda's tree house. While not as secluded as we thought we would be, it was still very quiet and peaceful. The grounds are beautiful and you can see the love that the hosts put into the property. Every amenity was on hand. There was plenty of space for the two of us to be comfortable. We particularly loved the daily visit of a wild elk named Matlida who is fed carrots and apples regularly by the hosts. If you love nature, you'll love this spot. Plenty of lovely critters, birds and fish to see. This property is also located in a great area to explore the Tonto National Park. We hiked the magical Ellison Creek Cascades. Look it up on google. Its a chain of falls and cool pools. Very much worth the effort of an adventurous hike. Highly recommend it! We also stopped in to the Tonto Natural Bridge Park. A must see and much easier to access. After all of that hiking about, it was so nice to come back to Brenda's to relax and soak out tired muscles in the wonderful hot tub. In all a "tree-rific" experience that we would highly recommend."

- "Great quiet and beautifully maintained property. Walking access to Tonto for hiking and a good home base for local sights and hikes. Two hour easy drive to Petrified Forest. Outdoor kitchen was perfect. We brought our own food to grill. Our hosts were very accommodating regarding towels etc. Great value for money. Would definitely use this property in the future." - "We took a weekend to explore an area of Payson we hadn’t been to. We found a gem at the bottom of Star Valley. The guesthouse has a private area for your horses and directly across the street is a riding facility with lessons for the kids. It is a studio guesthouse without stove/oven but they have a grill and flattop in their courtyard outdoor kitchen which is a beautiful area to relax in. There is a small stream on location which was great to splash in with the kids as well. 10 min to Payson from the ranch."

- "We stayed here to get out of the hustle and bustle and have a couple days to disconnect for my husbands birthday with our 10 month old and pups. The property was so much more beautiful in person. We got there for perfect weather. If you are able to make it to this property in the snow…gorgeous!! For the holidays they had a tree all decorated and stockings above the fireplace. We had the whole 7 acres to ourselves, the other rental was vacant! So we got to play in the snow and walk the property! Cindy was more than helpful when a couple small issues arose, and we got it figured out right away! Awesome wood burning fireplace. The rental had everything you needed plus more! Cute s’mores basket when we arrived. Plenty of linens, dishes, etc. They have a rental right next to the main house, would be perfect to rent out both for a friends or family trip. It is off the beaten path, you take a maintained dirt road for a few miles so make sure you have a car that can handle that. We brought our truck and snow chains. Didn’t end up needing chains because the snow melted enough. 10/10 would stay again! Thank you Martin family!"

Again it is a basement apartment the ceiling height is 6‘4“ so if you’re tall it may not be comfortable
And the last thing is we do have three dogs that are fenced out front separate from the studio entrance just want people to know that we have three dogs that are quite well behaved but may bark
We do live at the end of the street national Forest borders two sides of our property so there may be an occasional elk or Havelina or critter of some sort that they may bark at but if we’re around we keep control of them and if we’re not around we have their bark collars on
