Poppywood Pines - Show Low

Welcome to Poppywood Pines! 🏔️
Experience Show Low's best sunset views from your private mountain acre with three panoramic decks and gas fire pit. This gothic western A-frame sleeps 12 comfortably with authentic character—antique clawfoot tub, spiral staircase, velvet furniture, and curated antiques. Your furry friends can explore the secure quarter-acre fenced yard while you work remotely from three monitor-equipped workstations with blazing-fast WiFi. Just 5 minutes to Fool Hollow Lake and downtown Show Low, yet perfectly positioned so you'll forget you have neighbors.

Imagine a charming brown A-frame perched high on a hill, surrounded by towering pines. A rock driveway leads through a manual gate—close it and feel the world fade away. As you ascend, the valley spreads below in an unobstructed panorama that becomes the backdrop to every sunset, coffee, and memory.

Nestled on a full acre in an exclusive neighborhood of custom cabins, Poppywood offers something rare: community proximity yet complete seclusion once inside. Strategic hill positioning, sprawling pines, and design framing forest and valley views create total privacy while maintaining easy access to all the White Mountains offer.

THE SPACE: CHARACTER YOU CAN'T FAKE ✨
This isn't your typical vacation rental. Poppywood Pines has soul. Honey-toned pine walls rise to cathedral ceilings, a dramatic spiral staircase winds upward, vintage portraits gaze down with knowing expressions. Elk hides drape over railings, antler chandeliers cast romantic shadows.

🎨 Gothic Western Aesthetic woven throughout with genuine antiques—bear sculpture, owl sconces, cow skulls, vintage botanical prints, longhorn skull above living space. These quirks create memories kids and friends discuss for years.
🐕 Dog Friendly! Nearly quarter-acre fenced yard provides secure space for dogs to roam freely. While accommodating families with children, note it's not young child friendly due to winding staircases and open loft design.
🛏️ Sleeps 12 Comfortably across thoughtfully designed sleeping areas prioritizing comfort over cramming beds.
📍 Proximity: Minutes to Show Low's dining, breweries, shopping; short drive to Pinetop-Lakeside; 45 min to slopes; 5 min to Fool Hollow Lake; surrounded by hiking trails and off-road adventure.
