It dawned on me as I sat down to write in the blog today that while I have discussed many excellent cabins and lodges with you for your Arizona vacation, I have not specifically discussed those Arizona lakeside cabins that will provide an extra thrill for your family. We have discussed Arizona lakeside cabins during various other blog entries, but I felt that it may be beneficial to have a single post where you could find some useful information about lakeside cabin rentals in Arizona.




First there are the cabins in the Greer area. Not only are these cabins beautiful, but they are also situated very close to several lakes (depending on which cabin company you decide to rent from). I have a friend that spent time at MyRick’s Cabins last year, and they could see the lakeside from the front door of their Arizona cabin. A pretty good deal, especially if you are a fishing enthusiast. I have also written about cabins in Payson Arizona. Many of these cabin outfits are located near or above the Mogollon Rim and have access to running water and lakes. Again, if you are a fisherman this is ideal for you. You may even be able to find one of these cabins that will allow you to moor your boat all year long so that it is ready and waiting when you visit the cabin. This would be a definite bonus for those times when you just want to get away without a lot of planning; but depending on the type of boat you decide to moor, you will need to ensure that you get a decent boat cover to protect it from the element while you are not there. One of the favorites in this area is paddle boats, but to make sure that you boat is ready to go when you are, you need to make sure that you invest in good paddle boat covers to keep the critters and garbage out.

Hope you found this helpful. Enjoy your Arizona cabin and your boat!

I have spoken about cabin rentals in Greer, Arizona before. Greer is one of Arizona’s premier cabin/lodge/bed & breakfast communities. There are many different options in this little town, and I am sure that I will be presenting more information about other cabin rental outfits in the future. Today we are going to talk a little bit about MyRick’s Cabins. I have a friend that stayed in these cabins last year and he had nothing but good things to say. As a matter of fact, his 12 year old daughter didn’t want to leave!




The cabins are spacious, newer, and well maintained. They have four cabins (the Beartooth, Shoshoni, Teton, and Lamar), each distinctively different. Each of the cabins has a fully equipped kitchen, TV with DVD player, gas fireplaces and gas barbeque grills. So, you can have a fully contained getaway wherein you are able to prepare all of you meals right there in the cabin, or you can go out to eat in the nearby towns of Springerville and Eager. One of the other high points for my friend was the fact that he could see the lake (Greer Lakes I assume) from the front yard of his cabin. It was very convenient for his son to be able to walk out the door and down the road to get in a good day of fishing.

As Arizona cabins go, MyRick’s cabins are a must visit. If you get a chance to visit MyRick’s Cabins, please come back, visit us and tell us (and others) about your experience.

Have fun!
