Amazing!!
This property was simply amazing! There were 8 adults that stayed and we could of had another 8 and had plenty of room!! The kitchen was a dream. Loved the 2 living rooms and game room. Front and back patios were both used. Beds were extremely comfortable. Even the bunk bed room beds were all queen size and mattresses were so much better than any bunk bed mattresses I've tried. John, the property contact was easy to get a hold of. I have nothing negative to say. We're a group of cousins and we switch locations every year. Everyone loved this property so much we'll be coming back next year!

Family Vacation
100% positive and incredibly place. Both times I’ve stayed here we’ve had our family come from New Zealand and stay with us. Special times! I’ve associated this rental with a de facto family “reunion” so it will always be our first choice in Show Low/Lakeside/Pinetop area.

Big and roomy
"Friends and Family" was clean, the beds comfortable, and the wifi easy to use. There was enough room for the 11 of us at the dinner table. Kitchen had all the cookware and utensils. Porches and decks were nice to enjoy the cool weather. Basket ball court, disc golf, air hockey, and ping pong were all enjoyable and kept the young ones occupied. We will stay there again.

Blown Away!
Our stay at the White Mountain Retreat home was incredible! The property is in pristine condition and is perfect for any gathering! There is plenty of space and I was blown away by the detail put into caring for us. We had everything we needed to make it a great weekend. Usually my biggest concern is the kitchen space, but this property had no issue. The kitchen is INCREDIBLE and exactly what I would need when cooking for a large crowd. Not only was it beautiful, it was functional which was so great! I would highly recommend this to others and I can't wait to have more gatherings there in the future!

Perfect property for a large group
This house is perfectly set up for a large group. There is lots of space in the living room, the dining areas, outside, and in the game room for people to both spread out and also meet together. The hosts are aware of the size of groups using this property and have stocked the kitchen well for preparing large meals. It was beautiful inside and out. Less than 10 minutes to everything in town. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place
Our group of 17 spent 3 nights and 4 days in this magnificent place. Since we are a group who are steadily renting places a couple of times a gear I can honestly say the bedrooms in this cabin are huge compared what we’ve seen in other places.Kitchen is well equipped, 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers, 2 sets of washers and dryers, definitely set up for large groups. The back is huge and very nicely set up. We’ll definitely coming back.

BEST OF THE BEST!
We have been going to the area with our adult children and their families for years and this is the absolute best place we have ever stayed. I almost don't want to tell you how good it is because we are coming back! The home: clean, cozy, beautiful, well stocked kitchen, chefs dream, room for everyone and everything and oh, every bed is GREAT! We have stayed in nice homes where the beds were a bummer, not the case here. The property: HUGE fenced backyard with basketball and other outdoor games that provide tons of fun for all ages. The fence really lets you relax as your little wonder about, it's simply perfect, we had no need to leave the property to stretch our legs. We also enjoyed the gas fires inside and out. The host: very responsive, helpful and genuinely kind. We were treated so well down the smallest detail. if you stay here, rest assured, your host is personally invested in ensuring your stay is the best it can be! We had an amazing time and made another treasure trove of memories with our son and grandkids. We 100% recommend this home!

This is our second time staying here and Peggy is an absolute delight. She went out of her way to welcome us in such a beautiful way. There is a Christmas tree set up this year, which we loved.
