About Wilds of Arizona

Wilds of Arizona is a family-owned adventure and lodging company offering direct-booking stays in two distinct parts of Arizona: a cozy short-term rental casita in the Phoenix Valley near Mesa and secluded mountain cabin rentals in the pine forests between Globe and Show Low. Travelers find us when they’re searching for Arizona cabin rentals, Show Low and Payson cabin getaways, pine forest cabins, and Phoenix-area short-term rentals with more character than a hotel.

Desert Casita in the Phoenix Valley

Our Mesa, Arizona casita is a welcoming short-term rental in the Phoenix Valley, close to major highways, local dining, and the beautiful Salt River recreation area. Guests choose this Mesa vacation rental when they need an easy home base near Phoenix and Mesa—perfect for visiting family, attending events, catching spring training, or adding a few adventure days to a business or sports trip.

This desert casita offers a comfortable, private space with everything you need for a longer stay, from reliable Wi‑Fi to a full kitchen. Many guests tell us it feels like their own little home in the East Valley, with quick access to outdoor activities, the airport, and all the attractions of Greater Phoenix.

Mountain Cabins to Escape the Summer Heat

Our cabin property sits on privately owned land within the Tonto National Forest area between Globe and Show Low, a stretch that was once closed to the public. This is where guests come for the classic Arizona cabin experience they search for with phrases like “Arizona cabin rentals,” “Show Low cabins,” “Payson cabins,” “cooler weather cabins,” and “pine forest cabins”.

Here you’ll find red cliff views, nearby waterfalls, hiking trails, swimming holes, and star-filled night skies that feel a world away from the summer heat of the Valley. Guests use our cabins as a base for exploring the mountains, enjoying cooler temperatures, and unplugging in a quiet, wilderness setting that still has easy access off U.S. 60.

Adventure Experiences On‑Site

Wilds of Arizona started as an adventure company, and we’ve kept that spirit at the heart of everything we do. Our guests can add guided off-road tours, underground mine tours, and self-guided Day Passes that turn a simple stay into an Arizona adventure.

Whether you’re exploring desert trails near Mesa or heading deep into the mountains from our cabins, we’re here to help you discover places most visitors never see. Many of our reviews describe Wilds of Arizona as a hidden gem, and we’re proud to welcome returning guests who now make our cabins and casita part of their yearly Arizona escape.

Why Guests Love Staying With Us

Guests choose Wilds of Arizona because we combine the flexibility of vacation rentals with the personal touch of a small, family-owned business. We live and explore in the same landscapes where our guests stay, so we can share local tips for hikes, scenic drives, swimming holes, and the best times to visit popular spots.

From booking to check-out, we focus on clear communication, honest descriptions, and thoughtful touches that make your stay feel easy and relaxed. Whether you’re booking a Mesa casita stay or an Arizona mountain cabin escape, our goal is to help you make the most of your time here.
