We really enjoyed staying at the cabin and everyone had a great time
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Lone Star was an exceptionally clean, well appointed cabin that easily fit our 3 generations of 7 adults and 6 kids! We all loved how well stocked the kitchen was for cooking, and the 2 bathrooms were great! Outside we enjoyed playing softball and football, and the kids loved playing on the zip line! We all hiked the nearby Water Wheel trail, and used the pickleball court several times. There is a nice selection of board games too! We all had a blast and we would come back again!!

We intended to use this lodge/cabin as a base for our adventures around Payson but because we loved it so much we ended up doing most of our activities here. We loved everything about this lodge. The owner was very accommodating and allowed us to put up a tent in the back yard for the kids to stay in. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall we all had fun! There were enough beds for everyone and that’s why we chose this home. However there are a few things to watch out for. It definitely needs a good cleaning and the parking situation is not great! The kitchen is fully stocked bu
