Cabins on Strawberry Hill

First time here and we can’t wait to come back. We are planning on coming back with our whole family next time. The owners were so sweet. The cabins were cute and clean. Beds comfy and they provide plenty of pillows, blankets and wood for the fire. We had a blast!!!

Phenomenal place! Cabins are CLEAN and super cozy! Cabins have EVERYTHING! You only need to bring food!
There are gas and charcoal grills for cooking. Cabins have stovetop, full fridge/​freezer and microwave. Coffee machine and toaster! All dishes, utensils, pots and pans are there!
TONS of things to entertain children — playground/​swings/​playhouse, tether ball, basketball, volleyball, badminton, horse shoes, hiking (trails right off the property!), grass to play on, hills to sled in winter! Awesome community fire pit for roasting hot dogs, marshmallows… or simply warming up, enjoying the bright stars above!
Soak up nature? Picnic tables for meals together and lounge chairs for relaxing!
Family-​owned and operated — they are AMAZING!
We have made it an annual tradition to stay here every Fall Break (6 years and counting!) — my children won’t go anywhere else!
Best value by far! Family enjoyment — priceless!
Nearby markets, antique shops, and popular destination spots (hiking, fishing, landmarks, etc.) The Owners have a guide book in every cabin to help you plan your adventures!

We loved having our wedding here!
We rented the entire place for the weekend for our wedding party. This made it so fun! The night before our wedding we got to hang with all our friends and family. We grilled out, played volleyball and hung out around the campfire. It was perfect. Each cabin has everything you’d really need. We were there August 2015, and it was not too hot at all. The staff was really friendly and helpful.
The venue is BEAUTIFUL in the summer. So green and lush! Although it’s close to the road, you really don’t realize it. Feels secluded. Beautiful views of mountains from different spots. Amanda helps w the events, and was great for helping us with our wedding. She answered all our questions. She was around if needed on wedding day but didn’t crowd us. The venue received several noise complaints from our dance party, all before 9pm. That was disappointing, but luckily we only had to turn the music down right before the wedding ended. Amanda was very understanding and supportive to us, even with the noise complaints.
We had a wedding of about 150, which is bigger than their typical wedding. We ended up deciding to have our wedding ceremony in the woods (national forest) right by the venue. Our guest walked about 3 minutes down a path into the woods that we made and cleared. It was awesome! Then we used the venue space for our cocktail hour and reception. It was a perfect space for that!
Overall, very beautiful. We loved our time there! The wedding was perfect.

Beautiful scenery in a semi-​secluded environment here. The Cabins on Strawberry Hill allow you to enjoy the great outdoors while still being close enough to stores that you can feel connected to nature while still enjoying more of the creature comforts of civilization.
We stayed here for a weekend. The cabin we stayed in was a two-​story with a loft, futon, and small kitchen. There were two queen sized beds, one in the bedroom and one upstairs in the loft.
While the amenities aren’t the newest or the best, overall it was a decent cabin to stay in. The biggest negative I had was that the window up in the loft had a window fan installed on it, with mesh bordering the sides. The mesh and the fan vents were big enough that bugs and flies could get inside and perch (And die) right on the loft bed, right where the pillows were. I didn’t relish the idea of bugs landing on my face while I slept so we ended up sleeping on the full-​sized futon downstairs. The other couple we stayed with said the bed in their bedroom was lumpy and it was hard for them to get a good night’s sleep.
The bathroom was tiny but functional. There were signs of odd patch jobs in the shower, and there was exposed open parts of the tile work along the wall where the shower controls were. The toilet had signs of age, as the seat was worn down enough that there were exposed parts of the wooden base from where the seat cover contacted against the seat when closed. As for complimentary items, they include 2 bars of soap.
The kitchen has a small fridge with freezer, stove, and sink. Note that there is no oven (We made that mistake and brought a take and bake pizza that we ended up grilling outside instead). Pots, pans, dishes, and silverware are included.
As for other amenities, basic cable is included (With an equally basic TV), and wifi is spotty. I was able to get 3G on my phone, but others weren’t able to access information on their phones nor surf the web on their laptops. So if you are technologically addicted, this might not be your ideal place.
The parking is to the side in the space right next to your cabin and the adjacent cabin, in a graveled area. It’s enough space for 2 sedans or 1 larger vehicle (SUV, truck, etc.).
For heat and A/​C, there’s the window fan in the loft, an evaporative cooler on the ground floor, and ceiling fans. There’s a fireplace and free firewood to use when it’s cooler.
The outside area has easy access to hiking trails, and has a playground with tether ball area, volleyball court, and a horseshoe area. Gas and charcoal grills are available for use, as well as a large fire pit.
One of the reasons we chose to stay here was because they are dog friendly. For an extra $ 10 per dog per night you can bring your four legged friend on your adventure up north. Our dogs had a great time in the cooler temperatures and clear mountain air. However, note that if you stay upstairs in the loft, smaller dogs probably won’t be able to get up and down the stairs safely due to the slight slippery feel of the wooden stairs and the spacing of the steps.
It’s not the most luxurious stay (We’re not talking glamping here), but it’s a pretty decent place especially if you want to bring your dogs with you. The town of Strawberry has a lot of cute antiques and specialty food stores (Tea, honey, etc.) to browse though, and if hiking’s more of your pleasure, there are plenty of trails to go to.
Overall, 3.5 stars.

We spent a total of 2 nights here from Friday to Saturday night with friends. I have many mixed feelings about this cabin with equal numbers of pros and cons.
When we first arrived, the refrigerator door was wide opened, making lots of loud noises with towels all around the bottle of it. Since we did some grocery shopping before heading up, we were worried that the refrigerator was not working for us during our stay. Staff showed up (without knocking by the way) and told us that it had too much ice built up. They had to melt them down by keeping it opened for hours… Definitely wasn’t what i wanted to run into when we first arrived. Took it a while to actually be cold again.
Then, our friends who were supposed to stay on the second floor of the cabin. They ended up sleeping in the living room in the middle of the night and unfortunately the rest of the stay. Apparently, bugs were crawling in thru the vent. I felt so horrible knowing that they weren’t able to sleep in a bed the entire weekend.
Thirdly, their wifi doesn’t work majority of the time — which is very frustrating when you want to whine down your day with anything much to do and you can’t use any of it. Their TV/​entertainment equipment can definitely use some upgrades.
On the good side, it is located in a convenient location with great view of the sky light. The cabin is extremely dog friendly. It has a fire pit and chairs for people to sit around during the night with lots of chopped woods laying around. Each cabin also came with cookwares, dishes, cups and microwave and their own BBQ Grill as well as picnic tables right next to it. Payson is only 15 minutes away and there is short hiking trail right next to the cabin.
I have very mixed feeling about this cabin due to equal pros and cons for me. I do plan on coming here during winter time once again to see if things have changed. I will update my review then.
