About this home

Welcome to your perfect tall-pines retreat in Forest Lakes -- a beautifully updated 3 Bed / 2 Bath cabin that is truly move-in ready and designed for easy, relaxed mountain living. Set on a coveted south-side corner lot (with fewer homes and added privacy), this lovingly maintained cabin offers thoughtful upgrades and a layout that simply works. The property features a 3-way entry driveway with pull-through access, making camper or trailer storage simple and stress-free. The large detached garage provides plenty of room for your forest toys -- ATVs, kayaks, bikes, and all the gear that comes with cabin life. The spacious front porch is made for slowing down. Morning coffee in the cool mountain air, summer dinners with friends, or quiet evenings listening to the breeze through the... ... pines, this is where memories are made. Inside, the home offers an open-concept layout where the kitchen, dining, and family room all flow together comfortably in one welcoming space. The newly remodeled kitchen is perfect for gathering -- imagine the kids lined up at the island for weekend pancakes while you cook in your beautifully updated kitchen. From here, you can easily watch the family in the living area or keep an eye on the kids heading in and out to the porch. The family room is warm and inviting, anchored by an adorable freestanding wood-burning stove and offering another easy access point to the porch -- ideal for entertaining, hosting holidays, or simply cozying up after a day outdoors. Rustic wood walls add authentic cabin charm while maintaining a clean, refreshed feel throughout. The owner's bedroom suite is a rare and special feature for the area. Generously sized, it includes dual "his and hers" closets and its own private bathroom -- something not commonly found in Forest Lakes. The en-suite bath has been newly remodeled with a beautiful walk-in shower and a convenient laundry/storage area. Two additional bedrooms share a separate guest bath with a tub/shower combo, offering comfort and convenience for family and visitors. Major updates have already been completed, including a tankless water heater, so you can enjoy modern efficiency with mountain charm. The home is being offered mostly furnished (a detailed list will be provided), making your transition into cabin life simple and seamless. Beyond the home itself, the lifestyle is what truly sets this property apart. Just a two hour scenic drive from Phoenix, you can revel in the world's best summer weather with average temps in the mid 70's and a true 4 season climate to enjoy year round. Forest Lakes is surrounded by towering pines, scenic hiking trails, nearby streams, peaceful lakes for fishing, and abundant wildlife. The community is welcoming and close-knit, hosting frequent family-friendly social events throughout the summer -- adding to the true vacation feel of the area. If you've been dreaming of a well-cared-for cabin where everything has been thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained -- a place where you can simply unpack and start living -- this Forest Lakes retreat delivers the relaxing mountain lifestyle you've been waiting for.
