The setting is beautiful and the home comfortable with the sweetest views. The river behind is more like a babbling creek. We slept well at night - it was peaceful and the beds were firm and warm. We hiked the Water Wheel Trail to see the falls and also tried a few other trails. If you are a hiker or bird watcher we recommend this location. We saw bald eagles and black hawks plus. Payson is cute and has a few shopping and eating places. We are pleased we found this home and look forward to returning soon. Thanks to our hosts AZ Vacation Home Rentals.
