This cozy creekfront cabin nestled among the tall Ponderosa pines in Washington Park borders the Tonto National Forest and offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Mogollon Rim. Enjoy the peaceful sound of Mail Creek running nearby and a natural artesian spring that feeds a small private pond and supplies water to a 12-home community. The main cabin was completely rebuilt in 2008, including new electrical, plumbing, and a durable metal roof that sounds amazing when it rains. It features 1 bedroom, a sleeping loft, spruce log siding, Anderson windows, slate flooring, hickory cabinets, and porcelain countertops.
