This cozy little cottage was the perfect place for me to escape for a long weekend. Candy & Don have thought of everything you may need! Right down to the bottle of wine, breakfast muffins & popcorn for movie-watching. You have your own patio with a gas grill & fire table, perfect for sitting out with a glass of wine & watching the leaves fall. The bed is comfy & they have a well-stocked DVD library right at hand. The neighborhood is a bit off the beaten path & is very quiet, but just a short drive from Payson. I almost don’t want to say too much because I want to keep it for myself!

Everything about this place is the perfect getaway.

Best ever. Exceptional hospitality and amenities. Candy and Don were the perfect hosts and the cottage was so nicely decorated. It's " a Shore Thing" we'll visit again.

We enjoyed this property. Very nice and had everything you need! Hosts are great people!

Although we stayed busy, Candy and Don were always available to us to answer any questions. Definitely premier hosts. We will be back!

What a wonderful place for a couple for the weekend! We not only celebrated our anniversary in style, we gained new friends! The owners of this cabin went above and beyond to make our stay special! Highly recommend this cabin!!

This was my return visit and PERFECTLY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. See you again !!❤️❤️

Love, Love this cozy cottage “ A Shore Thing” you can’t go wrong with this choice! Quiet, peaceful, clean, everything you need in the kitchen. Lovely owners always willing to help you make the most of you stay. This was our 3rd time staying there and were coming back in August. Perfect place to get out of the heat of the Phoenix valley! Thank you Don & Candy

A wonderful VRBO with everything one needs as well as wonderful owners along with Parker the dog who made our stay one of best at our 77+ years old. We hope to be back soon to enjoy many more evenings together.

We had a wonderful time at “A ShoreThing” the weather was awesome rained a little and it was much cooler temperatures than the valley where we live., it was a treat to stay there. The cottage is cozy, comfortable and beautiful outside in the yard, the owners are warm and friendly you cant help to just love them! It was a beautiful time! Looking forward to going again soon!

A Shore Thing is a delightful, intimate cottage just right for two people. The details have been very thoughtfully and tastefully designed and coordinated, and everything there has a story. You will want to spend time there, as the yard and cottage are really inviting, comfortable, and fun. Don and Candy are fabulous hosts. They are personable, knowledgable about the area, and straight-up great people. This place is a real treasure! Ray and Ann Nagell

A Shore Thing was absolutely wonderful! Everything you could possibly need is available. The nearby views and sites are a must. We enjoyed coming back to the cottage and relaxing in the beautiful outdoor space! Looking forward to our next stay! Don and Candy are exceptional hosts!!

Amazing few days in a beautiful cottage! Thank you for your hospitality ❤️

Great experience in quiet neighborhood. Owners provided everything we could have wanted. Even assisted in arranging a wedding for us! ❤️ Will definitely go back again!

Everything was awesome. We have no critique or shortfall to mention. Soon and Candy are great hosts, friendly, kind and helpful if you need anything. The cottage was well laid out and roomy with so many cute touches and accents. It was clean comfortable and cozy. It was also located in a quiet, small neighborhood surrounded by beauty out of the town of Payson by about 5 minutes. It is an awesome VRBO. We had a peaceful and relaxing visit. If we are back in the area in the future we will surely look for Don and Candy's VRBO in which to stay again.

I rent ALOT of vacation places and this, by far, has been the BEST OVERall of any place I’ve stayed. The hosts, Candy and Don are the quentessential Hosts. On a 1-10 scale, it’s a 100😊

Both, I would say. This magical little cottage is the “Mother Ship” of all VRBO’s. Spotlessly clean ✅ Beautifully appointed✅ Amazing attention to detail as in top-of-the-line appliances, kitchenware, bedding, mattress, lighting✅✅ Privacy with an enclosed garden/small yard surrounded by plants, herbs, flowers which are, in turn, surrounded by breathtaking rock formations creating a sense of being in one’s own “Valley of the Gods”✅ You will want to stay longer, guaranteed. You might also feel as if the hosts, Don & Candy, have been your dearest friends for years. It’s a very special “Shore Thing.” Laurel J

The property was excellent for a nice stay away from the city. Relaxing with all the amenities you could need.

Fabulous property and the owners were so kind to us. We not only had a great time, but made new friends. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a quiet getaway in a beautiful spot.

I have stayed at A LOT of vrbos and i could absolutely tell you no one has ever been as accommodating and kind as don and candy. They have the house set up so cute and they hide goodies all throughout for guests to find and enjoy. They give great recommendations and also understand that you are there to getaway from the world and will not bother you unless you want someone to swap stories with. Fantastic place warm and comfy

We will be back. I wish we would of had time to use the patio area but we got tied up with friends and shopping we ran out of time. We are early to bed people. Property was very clean.

The hosts Candy and Don greeted us upon our arrival and helped us unload and get settled. Showed us the wonky light system and heated the bathroom prior to our arrival. We almost got stuck in the property due to rain over the the river but it subsided in a couple hours and we were able to continue our house hunt. We hope to go back and find our retirement home soon

We truly enjoyed our stay. The owners were so kind and even bumped up the check in time. We were welcomed with a beautiful gift basket (so unexpected). The check in and out process was super easy. This was a Beautiful Cottage and we absolutely adored the decor. Candy put in so much thought into the amenities. Everything you could think of or may need was available. If you are looking for a nice and quiet place to relax you have to try this place. The weather didn’t permit to sit outdoors on the patio but hope to return when it’s a little warmer. Thank you for being exceptional hosts!
