Timber Wolf Lodge Summer Escape in the Ponderosa Pines W/Ping pong and Billiards

Mother and son team manage the property together.

The neighborhood, the community itself is a lovely microclimate, a valley, that allows for strips of mixed forest in a semi-arid high-desert climate just below the Mogollon Rim. There are pondo pines, junipers, oaks, walnuts, and willows as well as old fruit trees here. There is also a diversity of bird life, ungulates like Elk, deer, javelina. We also get skunk, mountain lion, coyotes, and bears, though rarely seen. This doesn't include the Blue Heeler named Bean who has pretty staked her claim to the whole property here (haha). Strawberry has a definitive rural way of life with its roots in logging, giving a small town feel and a slow pace (Pine Time). At the same time, Payson and all of the box stores are only 20-25 minutes away. So, the area is not so remote that a fully stocked supply hub is not too far away. The house is fully updated with wifi, big TV, modern kitchen, a game room sporting a pool table, ping pong table, dart board, and nintendo, but it is also positioned on a property that exudes Nature. You will have the option of indulging in those creature comforts you hold dear while preserving your privacy, as well as to get out, explore, and breathe the fresh air. You can come fully prepared with a week's worth of packed clothes or use the option of the updated washer-dryer in the garage. This home gives you the option of central AC and heating and/or the use of a woodstove for roasting marshmallows and making smores. In the back, under the terraces, there is a firepit not far from the grill. There is a diversity of plant and wildlife on the property itself and good access to more views and hikes via highway or service roads, where many enjoy the off-road and camping experience. It is very common to wake up to Elk browsing outside your window (not in winter). And if you need any assistance at all the host himself is ready and willing in a nearby but completely separated unit.
