Trade the Heat for the Pines: Pinetop Family Cabin, Kayaks & Cool Nights

Trade the desert heat for 7,000 feet of Ponderosa pine. Bishop Ohana is a spacious four-bedroom cabin tucked into the tall pines of Pinetop-Lakeside, where the air turns cool, the stars come out, and a family of horses grazes in the field across the way. Walk into a soaring great room with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace you can start from the couch, then spread out across 2,368 square feet plus a finished basement built for the whole crew.

This is the White Mountains cabin your Arizona family group-texts about all summer. Soak in the hot tub under the stars, grab the kayaks hanging under the side porch and head to the lake, share string-light dinners on the porch by the outdoor fireplace, and sleep under a heated blanket while the pines sway outside. "Ohana" means family, and that's exactly what this home is, a real family cabin, lovingly kept across generations, and the owners are opening it to yours.

The layout is a true split-bedroom design with a queen suite on the main level, so grandparents or the lead couple never have to take the stairs. Three full baths mean no morning traffic jam before a day on the lake, and heated blankets and wall heaters keep every room cozy when the temperature drops.

Main floor: two queen beds (queen primary suite on the main level, no stairs)
Basement bedroom: two queen beds plus a twin, ideal for the kids or a big group

☆☆ KITCHEN ☆☆

The kitchen is fully equipped for real cabin cooking, big breakfasts before the trail and slow dinners after. You'll find all the cookware and bakeware you could need, a gas range, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator, plus a stocked pantry and spice cabinet, so help yourself instead of buying new. The kitchen sink even runs purified cold water for drinking.

☆☆ LIVING ROOM & GREAT ROOM ☆☆

The heart of the home is the great room, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings overhead and a stacked rock fireplace anchoring the space, with a remote start right on the mantel so the fire is going before you've taken your coat off. Flip on the twinkle lights, pull up the heated blanket, and settle in. Every TV is loaded with streaming subscriptions, so movie night is ready when you are.

☆☆ FINISHED BASEMENT & PLAYROOM ☆☆

Downstairs is where the kids disappear for hours. The basement playroom is stocked with toys collected across generations of this family, there for your crew to enjoy. It's the flex space every group wishes for: rainy-afternoon headquarters, game space, and a spot for the little ones to be little.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆

Step onto the side porch and this is where the cabin really shines. Sink into the hot tub and soak under the pines as the stars come out, the single best way to end a day on the trails or the slopes. There's an outdoor couch beside a wood-burning fireplace, wood stacked and ready, so you can sit out as the fire crackles and the evening cools. Fire up the BBQ grill for dinner, then grab the kayaks hanging under the porch and head to the lake in the morning. All of it sits on a generous 0.6-acre lot wrapped in tall Ponderosas.


Private hot tub for soaking under the stars

☆☆ THE WILDLIFE ☆☆

You don't just visit the White Mountains here, you live alongside them. A small herd of horses grazes in the field across the way and sometimes wanders into the backyard. A resident elk likes to stroll down the driveway. Bold, beautiful Stellar Jays will come right up to the porch, there's dried corn out front if you'd like to feed them, and hummingbirds hover all day. This is an active bear area from spring through fall, so it's true mountain living; bear spray hangs by the front door and a little mindfulness on early or late walks is all it takes.

The home is professionally cleaned and reset between every stay so you walk into a spotless cabin, with fresh linens and towels provided. Easy self check-in lets you arrive on your own schedule, and bear spray is provided by the front door for the active-wildlife season. For everyone's security, there is an exterior Ring camera at the entrance. There are no cameras inside the home, and none in any private or indoor space.

Why Choose This Home

Three things set this cabin apart: it's genuinely multi-generational, with a main-floor primary suite, a basement playroom, and kid gear already on hand; it comes ready for the outdoors, with kayaks, an outdoor fireplace, and borrowable winter gear; and it sits minutes from golf, lakes, and town with the ski resort under an hour. This is a real, loved mountain home, not a cramped weekender.
