My husband and I wanted a nice, quiet getaway for our anniversary and that's exactly what we got! The room was neat, tidy and had a comfortable bed. There were lots of outdoor activities and fun stuff to do nearby. The staff was friendly and resourceful. They had several suggestions for activities when we were stumped. We would definitely stay... more

My wife and I first stayed at the lodge on our first anniversary. We stayed many times after that over the years. We stopped going there as the place started to become run down and dirty. After checking out their web site and seeing it had new owners we decided to give it another chance. We were glad we did,... more

As a pilot, I have visited many places around the country. While on a trip to Payson, we decided to book a cabin with the friendly folks out at the Christopher Creek Lodge near Rim Country.

We had cabin 5 right on the creek. The floor had not been cleaned in years, it was filthy and discusting. The bedspread was dirty with stains on it and when we pulled it back, even the blanket had stains, it was obvious they had not been washed for quite some time. The bathroom was incredibly tiny, the shower was... more

On May 17th of 2008 four couples set out to hike "HORTON SPRINGS"in Payson. We wanted to stay in a rustic place that had charm and nature and water features. Well, upon our arrival we found small cottages with porches facing the creek. Squirrels at play and adequite camping facilities. The lodge is off the main road making the location... more
