This cozy cabin has a front porch and a fenced in yard perfect for the dogs. I checked and there were no openings either for the seven pound poodle or for our forty pound Labradoodle. We enjoyed our stay again this year at the end of the very quiet street.

The location was perfect at the end of a private road with a fenced in yard for the dogs. It was clean and quiet and a 10-minute walk to Rainbow Lake.

We hope to return and so do our two dogs. The completely fenced and sealed porch and yard gave us all the confidence that they could go outside safely. Thanks.

This is a great pet friendly cabin! It has everything you need and was very comfy. We enjoyed the yard and front porch. We also enjoyed the walking path at the end across the street. The owner went above and beyond making the place comfortable. My only complaint is how small the kitchen is. Trying to prep a meal was nearly impossible. Time to expand the kitchen and then it would be perfect!

Cabin was very cute and had all of the supplies/amenities we needed. The fence worked perfectly and it was extremely well stocked with dog treats, toys, pooper scooper, etc. Will definitely book again!

The cabin was absolutely perfect for my husband, teenage daughter and me, as well as for our Golden Retriever and Bulldog puppy! The fenced yard was exactly what we needed, and provided plenty of space for the dogs to run around. The cabin was well-appointed and comfortable, and we spent as much time lounging with books and games as we did outside exploring! The location is in a quiet neighborhood while also within 10 minutes of restaurants, shops, parks, and activities. We will definitely stay again!

This cabin is located in a great location, but needs to be updated. The interior decor is dusty, furniture is worn, linens are old, paint & trim needs attention, and kitchen was very cluttered. The fenced yard is wonderful, but outdoor furniture was dirty. TLC is needed.

This was our first VRBO in Pinetop-Lakeside. We were pleased with all aspects of our visit. The cabin itself is charming, well kept, well supplied, and just right for a couple or family of four. Communication with the property manager was top notch before, during (we needed some advice on the TV system), and after. I especially recommend this site for its location, just a short distance from the main drag and most of the recommended restaurants.

It was just a friend and myself with our dogs so the space was enough but personally I would not fit more than 4 people. I would stay again, the house was clean, had the essentials and comfortable. We stayed here because of the fenced in yard which was perfect for the dogs !!! There are lots of hiking near by and about an hour and a half away so you have options. Lots of restaurants near by too, Location is great. Also wanted to say thanks for the owner to call and let us check in or out late if needed, we had to get back to work

It was cute like the pictures but unfortunately the kitchen sink broke during our stay and flooded the cabinet and part of the kitchen floor. I spent hours of my time removing items from the sink so they wouldn't get damaged, sopping up water with towels and then had no access to the kitchen sink on the last day. Unfortunately, the rental company made no attempt to reimburse us for the event.
