Welcome To Pine

Our first Priority at the Wandering Elk Cabin is to provide a relaxing comfortable home away from home.

The Village of Pine is 90 minutes NE of the sweltering Phoenix heat. Perched at 6,000 feet, we're cradled in a mountain valley between the Mogollon (MŌ Gee on) Rim and Strawberry Mountain.

Reviews from our Wonderful Guests

Absolutely Perfect!

As a corporate event planner, it is always difficult to find the perfect accommodations for a business retreat.


This cabin was was more than that! It had all the space we needed while still allowing privacy for everyone.


It was the first time in my three years of planning this retreat that I didn't have any complaints from my co-workers. Debbie the owner was checking in with me to insure my group had everything they needed, without being overbearing and intrusive. We will be back again! I'm already planning a personal trip to the cabin with my friends!

What a great review! We'd love to host your retreat again next year, and YOU very soon! I keep adding improvements, it will be even better.

Wonderful Property & Great Owner

Just the recharge we needed to kick off the new year! Very relaxing with all the accommodations you need.

In a quiet beautiful neighborhood. The owner was great & easy to communicate with.

Beautiful Stay

This property was perfect for our family. We had enough room for 4 days to get ready for many family events leading up to a family wedding.

Plenty of games and activities to play for the random rain storm that caused us to stay in. Even a karaoke machine!

Beds and linens were very comfortable and all the amenities we needed were provided.

We had an unexpected issue with water in the basement (due to heavy rain one night) and Debby was prompt at responding to the situation.

Thanks for understanding about the leak Shannon. I always want everything to be perfect! That was a ton of rain. All fixed now, we found the problems and it shouldn't happen again.

Amazing time, great house!

Debbie was great to work with and went way above and beyond what I would expect. The house was super clean. The layouts is great for multiple families, a bathroom and family room on each of the 3 floors. Tons of outdoor space. Great location in Pine. We had an amazing time.

It Felt Like Home

The house was obviously someone's home - not just a short-term rental property. We would stay in this property again.

Thanks Rick! We’d love to have you back. Glad you enjoyed the “homey-ness” of our cabin.

Perfect Cabin, Perfect Location, Perfect Host

We had the pleasure of renting this property for my wife's birthday. Three levels with plenty of room and very comfortable. Bedrooms on every level - so plenty of room for everybody.

Plenty of outdoor seating on the various balconies. Squirrels, javelina, elk and deer all made a visit in the back of the property covered with tall pines.

Our host, Debbie went out of her way to make us feel welcomed, and her communication and preparation were excellent. We hope to return for additional stays with family and friends. Thank you, Debbie!

It was a pleasure hosting your group Matt! I enjoyed your communication and I'm glad you enjoyed the beautiful outdoors here. (No, I don't want to sell my house. :-)

"Beautiful hide-away cabin/chalet in the forest"

The rental process from beginning to end was seamless. Debbie created a detailed overview of the surrounding area of local businesses, restaurants, places of interest, etc. She sends to her renters once the contract is initiated. Great idea, this allows the renter time to develop a plan for their stay.

She is Extremely well organized and her communication with the renters is second to none . . .

Perfect Cabin Getaway

We loved the hostess, Debbie! I’ve personally never experienced such an attentive owner.

The cabin was in a nicely wooded forest with lots of elk hence the name! The cabin was clean and very well equipped…. great WiFi , access to smart TVs, modern thermostat, abundance of firewood.

She provided quality products and sweet gift upon entering. My granddaughter was so impressed with the personal message left for us!

Thanks Jan, this was so kind! I’m glad you were able to use my tools and equipment to cook lots of great meals. I have a new stove now! Next time will be an even better kitchen.

Our 2nd visit to Wandering Elk Cabin !

Our second stay! Absolutely wonderful ... We just had the most beautiful stay in this very lovely mountain home. Two more nights of pure heaven! Wandering Elk Cabin offers everything we could want.


Basement has pool table, ping pong, and lots of board games.

The best part is the host Debbie, she will make sure that all the questions are answered (yes immediately!).


Debbie learned that there was a major accident around the time we were heading home. She had us return to the Wandering Elk Cabin to wait out the road closure and offered us an additional night for free so we and our children wouldn't be inconvenienced sitting in traffic.

Great Place

Our family of 10 had a great time on Labor Day weekend. Lots to do with walks and hikes nearby and games downstairs. On-site laundry would have been nice, but we had a great time all around.

I'm glad you had a great time. I wish you would have asked me about laundry, we could have figured out an accommodation. I'm pretty open for requests.

Thanks for staying at the Wandering Elk Cabin.

Birthday Celebration

This home was more than large enough for the 8 adults who stayed here, and the other couples who came for the Birthday celebration.


My wife usually brings linen and blankets to hotels and VRBO's because she loves clean sheets. We did not need to use them because the home was clean and the sheets smelled fresh and clean.

I am a student and needed to attend Zoom classes at ASU while I was up there. The WiFi was perfect and I had no problems on the computer.

It all sounds like a great time! We wash sheets and white linens in 140° water, with Tru Earth laundry detergent strips and a scoop of Oxyclean, so you know they are clean! You are welcome back anytime.

Come to Relax

INSIDE WANDERING ELK CABIN

GATHERING SPACES

The Greatroom is one of four comfortable gathering spots on the main floor. A-frame windows draw the towering Ponderosa Pines and Junipers indoors.

In the colder months everyone gathers around the unique (think the Jetsons) Cobalt & Copper fireplace. During warmer weather, people tend to congregate around a firepit on the private back deck, or they'll visit near the grill and rocking chairs on the front patio.

QUEENS & KINGS & TWINS

We love spending time at the Wandering Elk Cabin in Pine too, so we've chosen high quality mattresses and comfortable, breathable bedding for you AND for us.

Unfortunately, it's still a "cabin" so, except for a California King bed upstairs, the other beds are either Queen sized, Fulls or Twins.

FYI - we sleep on a cozy Queen!
