The history of the land dates back to ancient times. Petroglyphs, arrow heads and shards of pottery can be found while hiking, remnants of days long past can still be seen in the artifacts of local Dine’, as well as in the old wagon trails littered with antique glass that glitter in the sun. During the Long Walk period of Navajo history, Baya’s ancestors hid in the canyons from the United States Army to escape being forcibly removed and marched hundreds of miles to Fort Sumner in New Mexico. The family history can be traced to these grazing lands for fifteen generations. Hogans that Baya’s ancestors built are still standing, and their knowledge of the history of the land is still on their tongues for anyone interested in listening and learning.
Navajo Churro sheep, goats, horses, cows, chickens, livestock, and very friendly working dogs - the Maremma Sheepdog and Great Pyrenees are raised on the ranch in accordance with Navajo traditions.
The Glamp has been built to accommodate guests year-round to provide a peaceful, unique Navajo cultural experience.
Shash Dine' has been featured and recommended by Travel + Leisure, USA Today, The Huffington Post, Phoenix Magazine, The Guardian, Arizona Highways, The Grand Canyon Trust, Indian Country Today, Huckberry, NPR Radio, The Lake Powell Chronicle, TEVA, Meraviglia, The Navajo-Hopi Observer, and countless travel blogs from across the globe.
This was a once in a lifetime stay. Communication was good, welcome process easy and informative (loved hearing the history of the farm) then before sunset a very short walk on the property led to the most amazing view. Accommodations were cozy and definitely one of a kind. My husband and made a trip to the rest room in the middle of the night (it was a full moon) and the beauty of the desert at night was a highlight of our whole honeymoon. I had so many people ask how we found such a cool spot. I couldn’t recommended staying here more.
We certainly enjoyed our stay. The views are breathtaking and the tents and accommodations are very clean and comfortable. If you're considering staying here go ahead and book it. You won't be disappointed!! Baya is attentive and responds quickly to any questions or concerns you may have. 10/10 can't recommend enough!!
Absolutely outstanding experience! I can't wait to go back. The Kyoob is incredible. Wonderful thoughtful touches everywhere. So comfortable, cozy, and serene. The view is beyong beautiful. Breakfast and Navajo tea were delightful. The owners are great, and we loved chatting with them. They offered great recommendations.
I highly recommend staying here and coupling your stay with a tour from Ken's Tours of Antelope Canyon (lower antelope canyon was extraordinary). They offer the eco retreat and tour as a package.
Absolutely breathtaking views! It's so peaceful. It's the way all of the worries of the world leave when you sit and look at the stars. The host is so kind, and really reminds you of how we should respect the land. It's a retreat that is definitely worth a return trip.
Had a great time in hogan. Temps were in 40’s but stove and wood provided kept us warm through the night in November. Dinner option provided for additional charge was well worth it as opposed to driving back into Page at night. Breakfast was simple with togo options, great for us who were roadtripping across country.
Land is beautiful and highly recommend taking sunset or sunrise walk on the path Baya and Paul instruct you to follow.
All instructions and directions were clear from the get go. Respect the land and the host’s customs. Seeing negative reviews here is disheartening as it looks like some people have forgotten they are still camping even if labeled glamping. If you are knowingly booking a Navajo hogan that is clearly made from logs and the Earth, you should expect dirt and no electricity. Prepare for the situation you are booking and embrace it.
Great stay, would stay here 100% again if in northern AZ in future. Thanks for a great stay!
