As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

If you’re someone who loves all things related to nature, Payson is the place to go. There’s so much natural beauty to behold here, and yet it’s not as overrun with tourists as places like Sedona and Flagstaff. Payson happens to be one of my favorite towns to visit in the state. While it’s a perfect day trip destination for those living in the Phoenix Metro area, it’s also a great spot for an overnight adventure. And we found just the place to stay! Perhaps the most unique place to stay in Payson, Arizona is a cabin with a treehouse that sits above the Mogollon Rim. In fact, we think it’s one of the most unique places to stay in Arizona.

The town of Payson is a wondrous place to immerse yourself in nature. One of my absolute favorite places to visit while I'm here is Water Wheel Falls. Not only can you take one of the trails and hike around this gorgeous area but you can take a dip in the many watering holes and waterfalls along the way.

And then there's Tonto Natural Bridge State Park, a place I find myself at every time I take a day trip to the area. Located off of the ultra-scenic Beeline Highway, this state park is home to what is said to be the largest travertine bridge in the world. It's quite a natural wonder!
