Stayed in a yurt for 1 night, the YURT was a 2 star maybe even a 1. The floors are a disaster, there run down. The beds were ok, linens were clean. There is no heat only a wood stove that heated the yurt to about 534 degrees.
Then from the yurt we switched into the the large family cabin floor a week. Definitely 4 star. So much space and was perfect for everyone. Beds were comfortable. The staff delivered wood for the stove every couple of days without having to ask. It also has a washer and dryer.
We definitely would recommend staying here. The staff was awesome. Amazing location. The rental sports gear was perfect and inexpensive.
We'll return.
A very nice military recreational facility just south of flagstaff. You must be DOD card holder to use this facility. It is quiet and peaceful. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The entire site is clean. We used an a frame cabin and an rv site. There is a total burn ban in effect down to and including propane bbq's and propane fire pits. I suspect it will be this way all summer due to very very dry local conditions so plan meals accordingly. It us a well cared for military recreational area
We got invited for closed friends whose husband is a veteran for RV camping. Place is so beautiful. There is an electricity to hook and water and sewer. Play ground for kids, I love forest and pines. It's perfect place if you want to get away from the heat.
My Grand Canyon rafting trip was an unforgettable adventure! The sheer beauty and grandeur of the canyon is simply awe-inspiring. Our guides were not only knowledgeable about the area but also passionate about sharing their insights. The rapids were thrilling, and the calm stretches allowed us to soak in the breathtaking scenery. Camping under the stars by the Colorado River was a magical experience. This trip was a perfect blend of excitement, education, and natural wonder. I can't recommend it enough for anyone seeking an incredible outdoor adventure.
Overall a great location for a frugal getaway, in comparison to the local lodging available.
We stayed in the hotel room which had ample space but is in desperate need of update/renovation.
No AC but we came in the fall so it wasn't a big deal. The fan in our room was terribly off balance so we only ran it at the lowest setting. The room has a good sized refrigerator, microwave, and TV. The king bed was okay in terms of comfort but it also doesn't come with a comforter, but a blanket that isn't very comfortable. Finally, the room was clean but we did find some build up of dust in certain areas.
The property does have a playground and the cabins look nice. The coffee shop has some snacks and great coffee.
Good choice of rental equipment at an affordable rate for any season!
Location is great with a quick drive to Snowbowl, NAU, or downtown Flagstaff.
