Neighborhood

Creekside HOA is a newly built, Gated community located at the northern tip of Rainbow Lake. The neighborhood is clean and quiet, mostly full time residents, and some vacation homes. Rainbow lake is right out our back door - you can walk there to fish, kayak or rent boats at the marina. Additionally, there is a small Pond and Creek in the HOA. With views of BOTH the Lake AND the Pond, and a bit of privacy from the lake visitors with the berm in between our home and the lake. The open space behind us becomes a seasonal creek with the Lake level rises, it will flow through the back area of the home to the bond. Its truly the best location in the neighborhood. Local Fav Bar & Grill, with large dog friendly out door patio, along with ample inside space is close enough to walk do - A Nice Bonus! Rainbow Lake is 116 surface acres, and has a maximum depth of 14 feet and an average depth of 7 feet. Currently, the Department stocks catchable-sized rainbow trout in the spring and early summer. Naturally propagating warm water species include largemouth bass, channel catfish, black bullhead, bluegill and green sunfish. The lake also contains illegally introduced northern pike. This property is impressive all year round for a visit to the White Mountains. Truthfully, every season is gorgeous in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona. In the spring and summer, the banks of babbling creeks erupt with wildflowers, and in the winter, the rugged peaks and sloping meadows are blanketed in sparkling white. But it is perhaps in autumn that the White Mountains are at their brightest. Interspersed with the mountains’ pine and fir trees are lovely stands of white-barked aspens and thickets of Gambel oaks. In late September and early October, the changing colors of the aspens and oaks alternate with the evergreen pines, creating a striking green-and-gold patchwork landscape. Fall is also a time of glorious weather in Arizona’s high country. Owing to its altitudes that soar to the 6,500-to-9,000-foot-plus range, the White Mountains are always considerably cooler than the lowland deserts of the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Average high temperatures in White Mountain communities such as Greer and Show Low are in the 70s and 80s in the summer and in the 60s and 70s in the fall. Prime leaf-peeping typically occurs during the first three weeks of October. The September shoulder season, although it might be too early to see the full range of fall colors, is still a wonderful time to visit the White Mountains. There are many fantastic things to do in Arizona’s White Mountains; from visiting the many Lakes, Hiking Trails, Sunrise Ski Resort, Woods Canyon Lake, Rim Country Museum and more. Loads to do for all tastes, from outdoor adventures for local explorers to total isolation for those who prefer the homely and the comfy!

As echoed by others, this place a treat filled with amenities and the massage chair was a hit after long hikes. Appreciated Peter's responsiveness and clear directions for access and check out. Highly recommend for a family spot to beat the heat.

The home is in excellent condition. All the beds were comfortable, and the linens were very nice as well. The layout of the house is wonderful, with an additional family room on the second level that had beautiful views. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, and the home is an easy walk to the lake and dock area. The availability of fishing gear, life jackets, and kayaks was appreciated. Great rental for enjoying the outdoors.

Absolutely perfect stay! This Airbnb was everything we hoped for and more. It was spotlessly clean, exactly like the pictures, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was peaceful with easy access to the water, and the pond was perfect for kids to enjoy. We spent a lot of time outside just soaking in the quiet and beautiful surroundings. The beds were super comfortable, and every detail of the place felt well thought out. Truly worth the price — a fantastic experience from start to finish. Would love to come back!

Thank you so much for sharing your home—we absolutely loved our stay! The Bigfoot touches were such a fun and memorable surprise, and the home itself felt cozy, creative, and full of charm. Everything was welcoming and thoughtfully put together, and we truly appreciated the unique atmosphere. Alice was a fantastic addition that we loved and appreciated. Darbi’s quickly became our favorite place to eat, and Porter Mountain Stables was a fantastic local experience we’d highly recommend. We also really appreciated that the home was dog-friendly—it made the trip even more enjoyable for our whole family. Your place is special, and we’re so glad we had the chance to stay. We’d absolutely love to come back again!

Beautiful home, great location for someone looking to get out of the valley, fish and be one with nature. Lots of space to walk, enjoy the weather and sunshine. We were very comfortable at Grumpy Toad's. We cooked several meals, slept well and really took time to relax which was easy here. We look forward to another adventure in the near future!

Grumpy Toads Getaway is everything you could want in a vacation stay—beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the owners put a lot of heart into creating a space that feels both stylish and comfortable. What truly sets this place apart is the incredible hospitality. The owners go above and beyond to make guests feel at home, with personal touches, great local recommendations, and a level of care you don’t find just anywhere. The location is perfect—secluded enough for peace and relaxation but close to great dining and activities. If you're looking for a place that blends comfort, style, and genuine warmth, Grumpy Toads Getaway is it. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Pete and his team were super helpful every step of the way. We felt like family as we set up the stay. The place was super clean and the space was inviting and just perfect for our family. We played games, hung out, cooked in the kitchen and just bonded without any stress. If and when we come back to town, this will be our spot 100 out of 100 times. Thanks for a great stay.

Grumpy Toad’s Getaway is an absolute hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how immaculately clean and well-maintained everything was. The check-in process was effortless, with clear instructions that made getting settled super easy. The host went above and beyond to make our stay special, offering thoughtful touches like a welcome guide, local recommendations, and quick responses to any questions we had. It’s clear they truly care about their guests! The space itself is beautifully designed, peaceful, and stocked with everything you need—a fully equipped kitchen, plush bedding, and even cozy outdoor seating to enjoy the scenery. The location strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience, making it ideal for both relaxation and exploring. We genuinely didn’t want to leave! If you’re looking for a five-star Airbnb with exceptional hospitality, cleanliness, and charm, this is the place. We’ll definitely be booking again!

My family came to evaluate The White Mountains and surroundings because we've never been there before. Peter's house was so lovely, right on the lake, we just loved our stay and will be coming back to this house. The house was so inviting and clean we really enjoyed our stay. Home has everything you could ask for. Will definitely book again and as a matter of fact, Peter, we will be referring your home to our business clients.
