"You’ll find beloved classics like a mocha or chai latte, as well as some fun specialty drinks like a spicy mocha or strawberry mocha. They also serve fresh-squeezed juice, Italian soda, hot cocoa, tea and snacks. They will soon be offering fresh pastries as well."

"You walk into these cozy homes and you see tongue and groove white shiplap walls and right away, I know that I am in love. They are decorated with such charm and warmth."

"We choose to stay in an adorable town just outside of Payson named Strawberry. A perfect place to get out of the busy hustle and bustle of life. Tucked away in the mountains, almost two hours away from Phoenix, but well worth the drive to escape the heat. "

"Consider how a getaway to The Strawberry Inn could help strengthen your relationships with loved ones!"

"If you get the chance to escape the Valley for a few days this winter, and can time it when there will be snow in Strawberry, jump on the opportunity! The Strawberry Inn is the perfect "home base" for all your snowy adventures and the food and winter wonderland sights will be something that you talk about all year long!"

"Just a short two-hour drive north from Phoenix, guests get the feel they are in some midwest town surrounded by gorgeous mountain scenery. For us, Phoenicians who never experience the seasons, the fall trees, and stunning hiking trails are perfect for a new environment without the hassle of travel time hours."

"Now, this was the first road trip I’ve taken with my baby boy Teddy. Yes, we hit the road with a four-week-old baby and it wasn’t as chaotic as you would think. You guys know me more for strenuous activities on my trips, but this is a very chill itinerary."

"This cabin was perfect for our family! We made breakfasts at the cabin, and drank coffee on the patio while the kids collected acorns. We read books and played on the nearby community lawn area. Of course we explored Strawberry and Pine as well. But not even 24 hours in to our stay, we were drawn to the peacefulness and charm of the tiny cabin and honestly just wanted to stay put."

"The cottage was so cute – I love how there’s a white noise machine (you can play other noises besides white noise, such as rain, forest, etc). I also love how there’s a USB to charge at the outlets and reading lamps. Tyler and I love how every single area was thought out. It’s a pretty tight space but they utilize every inch of it."

"I’m not sure if you’ve ever driven through Rim Country but it’s now my most favorite destination in Arizona. It’s unlike any other area in the state I’ve visited. It’s the Heart of Arizona and on a plateau that extends over 7000 feet in elevation, covered in Ponderosa pine forests and pristine mountain lakes. Simply gorgeous…"

"Strawberry is a great starting point for Rim County adventures. There is so much to do in the area and things to see that make great day trips.  If you don’t mind driving during the day to explore somewhere new here are some things to do that you should check out"
