Cozy Cabin Escape in Secluded Strawberry, AZ — Nature, Nostalgia & No HOA!
Tired of the hustle? Dreaming of a simpler life where the squirrels wave hello and the pine trees whisper your name? Say no more — welcome to your not-so-average slice of paradise in beautiful, tranquil Strawberry, Arizona.
This charming, character-packed cabin (originally from the groovy 1960s) sits proudly on nearly .75 acre of pure mountain magic. Surrounded by mature pine trees, a majestic oak, and cottonwoods along the back half, it’s the kind of retreat you’d expect to find in a nature documentary — complete with frolicking elk and musical birds that seem to have a morning and evening playlist.
The Home Itself? A blend of vintage vibes and modern convenience. The original trailer (circa 1968) has been lovingly expanded to include:
A cozy front room (12x20)
A large master bedroom with en-suite bathroom
A separate laundry room
And a smaller sized second bathroom with shower
The total living space is a comfortable 1,000 sq ft — just the right size to host guests or get away from the busy life.
Covered 12x20 front patio perfect for sipping coffee or spotting curious elk.
Grassy areas, fruit trees, and more fresh air than your lungs will know what to do with.
A 1000 sq ft, stick-built garage with dual automatic doors (perfect for vehicles, tools, or future dance parties).
Extras That’ll Make You Say “Whoa”
Paved driveway (because muddy boots are messy).
45 yards of private drive flanked by over two dozen apple trees.
Metal storage container for a quad, sport toys, ready to be re-worked for any use.
Bonus trailer spot (about 10 ft wide) with room for RV, or camper.
Comfort Galore Brand-new air conditioning and propane heating (only 1 year old) — because even mountain folk deserve climate control.
Better Than Disneyland? We won’t officially say that, but this dreamy woodland escape just might give Mickey a run for his money.
Why Selling? The current owner is headed to Colorado to be closer to family — otherwise, they’d never leave this hidden gem.
Location: Strawberry, Arizona Close enough to civilization for groceries, far enough for stars that actually twinkle.
Interested?
Act fast — cabins this charming, with land like this, don’t stay a secret for long (especially when the elk are telling their friends).

What the owner loves about this home
This place isn’t just a cabin — it’s a retreat, a memory-maker, and a slice of peace tucked into the pines of Strawberry, Arizona. What I’ve loved most are the quiet, soul-filling mornings on the front patio, listening to the birds and squirrels chatter like old friends, and watching the elk wander in like they own the place. There’s something magical about the way the sun filters through the tall pines and that old oak tree — it never gets old. The sunsets on the back porch are absolutely serene and highlight the beauty of the Strawberry mountain-scape.
It’s been a joy having space to roam — a quarter acre with fruit trees, grassy areas, and the kind of quiet you can’t find in the city. The garage was a labor of love, the apple trees were a dream come true, and the old trailer? A perfect guest nook or cozy escape of its own.
This home has always stayed warm in winter, cool in summer, and full of heart year-round. I’m moving to be closer to family, but if I could take the sounds, smells, and serenity of this place with me — I would in a heartbeat.
