Tonto Creek is amazing! Hard to believe it's in AZ, but here we are; right across the lane from Applecross Cottage. :)

Come stay in the Tonto National Forest! Enjoy the bucolic hamlet of Kohl's Ranch; a quiet and peaceful slice of the Forest tucked under the Mogollon Rim.

Need a long-term stay? Whether you're hunting for a home in Payson, or just want to try out living up here, we accept longer stays!

Fall is coming in hot! With the much cooler nights and pleasant days, the leaves are starting to put on their colorful show! AND, with all the heavy rain we just received, Tonto Creek is running beautifully! I think some trout got washed down, because we just watched a guest pull out 3 big ones!
