Escape the Valley Heat. Own Your Mountain Getaway.

No. Rocky Rim Resort Cabins is designed to be a wonderful vacation and recreational getaway, rather than a full-time residential community. However, as an owner, you have the ultimate flexibility to come and go as you please! You are more than welcome to use your cabin for extensive seasonal enjoyment and vacation purposes so long as it is not your primary residence. It is the perfect setup for a part-time retreat or a seasonal home base where you can relax, unwind, and visit as often as you like throughout the year.

While you fully own your park model cabin, you do not own the land it sits on. Instead, you enter into an agreement specifically for the lease of the space within our resort. As an added benefit, this lease is governed by the Arizona Recreational Vehicle Long-Term Rental Space Act, meaning you have strong, state-mandated legal protections as a cabin owner. This setup allows you to enjoy all the wonderful perks of cabin ownership with total peace of mind, without the hassle of land property taxes or grounds maintenance! This creates the ultimate “lock and leave” lifestyle, giving you a truly turn-key experience where you can just show up, enjoy your time, and head back home without worrying about exterior upkeep while you are away.

Your monthly space lease is designed to make your ownership as carefree as possible! The lease fee conveniently covers the use of your designated lot space, along with your water, sewer, and community trash services. It also includes the professional landscaping and maintenance of the resort grounds, so you never have to worry about yard work while you are visiting or while you are away. Plus, it grants you and your guests full access to all of our fantastic resort amenities, including seasonal use of our commercial-grade splash pad! Just keep in mind that you will be responsible for setting up and paying for your own electricity and any other personal utilities.

Yes, absolutely! We love when our owners leverage their cabins as income-producing properties. Rocky Rim Resort is specifically designed with the short-term rental market in mind, creating the ultimate “lock and leave” lifestyle. You are fully welcome to list your cabin on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO to offset your costs or generate revenue when you aren’t using it. Our resort amenities—like the commercial-grade splash pad—make these cabins highly attractive to renters. To maintain our resort zoning and ensure a great experience for everyone, we just require that all rentals are short-term (with a maximum stay of 30 consecutive days per guest) and adhere to our 6-person maximum occupancy limit per cabin.

Yes, absolutely. Because you own your park model cabin, you have the full right to sell it or transfer the title. To ensure a smooth transition and maintain our community standards, we just require owners to notify us of their intent to sell before marketing the cabin. Additionally, any person making a purchase offer must be approved by Rocky Rim Resort management, and the prospective new tenant must agree to and sign the Space Lease Agreement and the Rules & Regulations prior to the transfer of ownership.

Yes, because you own your cabin, you do have the right to remove it from the property. However, we highly encourage owners to sell their cabins in place to an approved buyer, as this almost always makes the most financial sense. When cabins are originally set up at Rocky Rim, they are intended to be permanently anchored in place. This permanent placement allows us to cultivate beautiful, full landscaping around each unit to create a highly desirable resort aesthetic, which in turn makes removing a cabin a much more difficult and involved process. If you do decide to remove your cabin, you must follow Rocky Rim’s rules, clearance requirements, and transportation standards.

Yes, we absolutely welcome friendly dogs at Rocky Rim Resort Cabins! To keep our community peaceful and enjoyable for everyone, we ask that dogs are well-behaved, under your direct control at all times, and that barking is kept to a minimum. You are welcome to have up to two dogs per cabin. Because we pride ourselves on being a safe, family-friendly resort, vicious or dangerous dogs are not permitted, and we do have restrictions against breeds such as Pit Bulls, Staffordshire Terriers, and American Bullies.

To ensure a fresh, clean, and healthy environment for all of our owners and guests, Rocky Rim Resort Cabins is a completely smoke-free property. Smoking of any kind—including cigarettes, cigars, marijuana, electronic cigarettes, and vaping devices—is strictly prohibited anywhere on the premises. This policy applies everywhere, including inside the cabins, on outdoor decks and patios, and throughout all common areas. We take this commitment to our community’s comfort very seriously, so please note that violating the smoking policy is grounds for termination of tenancy.

We love offering our owners a guaranteed, fixed monthly rate for the first 36 months of the lease to provide financial peace of mind. After that initial term, your lease will renew on an annual basis, and the rent may be adjusted by the greater of 3% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI). We will always provide you with at least 60 days’ written notice before any adjustment takes effect, ensuring everything is fair and transparent.

We want you to love your outdoor space, but to maintain the consistent aesthetic and safety of the resort, all exterior modifications require prior written approval from management. This includes adding porches, decks, painting, or altering the siding. While fencing is not permitted, we do have a great solution for extra space: we offer a specific, pre-approved storage shed option that must be purchased directly through our designated vendor to ensure it matches the resort’s look perfectly. We also allow hot tubs under specific guidelines with prior approval, ensuring they meet electrical and drainage standards.

Each cabin is allotted two designated parking spaces right at your site. To keep our resort roads clear and visually appealing, all vehicles must be parked in your specific spots, and trailers, boats, or oversized vehicles are prohibited at your cabin unless you have prior written approval. However, we do often have additional parking spaces available throughout the resort for temporary use if you have extra guests visiting.

Absolutely, enjoying a fire under the stars is a huge part of the Rocky Rim experience! Each cabin comes with a designated private fire ring, and we also have community fire rings located in several locations throughout the property for you to gather around. You are also more than welcome to have an approved BBQ at your cabin. For everyone’s safety, please remember that you must call the Heber burn line at (928) 535-6709 before lighting a campfire to ensure burning is permitted. Additionally, anytime you have a fire going, we require that a water hose capable of reaching the fire is attached to your hose bib at all times.

We get this question all the time, and honestly, we take it as a huge compliment! At the current price, it really can seem a little too good to be true. The completely transparent answer is that the “catch” is simply the type of ownership: you aren’t buying a sprawling, 3,000-square-foot log cabin on ten acres of private wilderness that requires endless weekend maintenance. Instead, you are buying a beautifully designed, highly efficient 400-square-foot park model cabin situated on leased land within our private resort. So, while you don’t get a massive property tax bill or grueling yard work, you do get an incredible, turn-key getaway in Heber with premium amenities, a lock-and-leave lifestyle, and the rare ability to generate short-term rental income. If trading a giant mortgage and endless upkeep for an easy, income-producing vacation home is a catch, we think it’s a pretty fantastic one to be caught in!
