This beautiful home is perfect for any couple or family vacation or gathering. We try to stay somewhere in the Show Low or Pine Top area over Thanksgiving and this was one of our favorites. The only thing we missed was a snowfall but you never know in this part of the state. Be prepared in the fall and winter months for inclement weather. We appreciate the homeowners who allow pets - especially in a home as lovely as this - and we try to reciprocate the privilege by making sure our dog is well-behaved. When renting these homes, make sure you bring all of the necessities you need for cooking, such as spices, pantry items, etc. While some homes offer the basics others do not so prepare ahead of time or take advantage of the nearby Safeway only 3 miles away. Everything else needed for cooking is usually on hand. If you book this home - you won't be disappointed.

We have rented Big Buck multiple times. The owners have addressed any issues we have reported in the past. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful , well maintained home on a gorgeous golf course.

Loved the place and enjoyed our stay. The water and ice machine on the fridge are not hooked up, so bring drinking water and ice.

We had a full week stay. Perfect for our family of 4, with plenty of room for more.

We took some of my family members here for a 5 night stay and we very much loved the secluded house, views, and amenities inside the community. The lake was close and you can rent your some fishing supplies as well as kayaks and we had a blast there. There were a few cons to the home, one being my nephew has very bad allergies to cats and on the first day we could smell cat pee on the second floor. My nephew laid on the couch upstairs one day and by the evening his eyes were itching and he was sneezing with a runny nose. There were no cushions on the balcony chairs to enjoy that space either. So we never bothered using the upstairs space after that. Also the beautiful wood table outside had some kind of tree sap all along the one bench, rendering that useless for family dinners as I originally thought. Lastly I thought the fridge provided filtered water and the maintenance man came out to fix it but found out it is not connected the water line. So if you're okay with drinking faucet water you're fine, otherwise bring your own - also I wished they had some kind of regular curtains to be able to block out the sunlight for kids in those early morning hours. Now the rest of our trip went great, and if they could change those things I would give it 10 stars if I could. It is a wonderful family community, the folks are friendly, the play areas are clean, and we would absolutely stay in this area again.
