Where people sleep
Madison’s Room is on the main floor, with no stairs. Nora’s Room is a studio over the garage with its own entrance. The Window Room, Harper’s Room, and Jane’s Room are upstairs off the landing. The Study is a sixth sleeping space on the main floor, with curtains instead of doors.
Four of the five bedrooms have an ensuite bathroom. There are six bathrooms in total.
RVs and tents
RVs and tents on the property are not part of the 30. There are RV sites with electric and water hookups, and a dump station. There is flat ground for tents. Tell us about them when you ask about dates.
Kitchen and dining
The kitchen is open, with an island, a full-size range, and counter space for more than one cook.
The dining room is beside the kitchen, with a long table. The family room and the deck have more seating.
There are plates, bowls, glasses, and flatware for 16 people at once, plus kid-size cups, plates, and cutlery. Two grills sit on the deck, and the deck seats the group for dinner outside.
Children and grandparents
For small children we keep two pack-n-plays, a high chair, a booster seat, kid-size plates and cutlery, and step stools for the bathroom sinks. The game room has a children’s play area, board games, and puzzles.
The main floor has a bedroom, a bathroom, and the family room, with no stairs between them.
The lodge also has the movie theater. Outside are the sport court, the disc golf course, and the firepit.
Groceries
The nearest full grocery store is 45 minutes away, in Flagstaff to the north or Payson to the south. Shop on the way up.
Clints Well is about 15 minutes away and has a general store. We can also have groceries waiting in the kitchen when you arrive. See the add-ons page.
Group size
The lodge is set up for up to 30 guests. The beds sleep 20 adults comfortably. In a group of 30, children share beds, use the air mattresses, or bring sleeping bags.
RVs and tents on the property are not part of the 30. A travel trailer delivered to an RV site sleeps four to eight. If your group is larger than 30, ask us.
A much larger group can need county permits and other items, such as restrooms, parking, and access for fire trucks. Those add time and cost.
From first message to your dates
How planning works
You pay nothing until you accept a quote. You can stop at any step before that.
- Send the basics Use the form on this page. Give us your dates, how many people, and what you want to do. We reply within a day.
- Video call We send you some times to choose from. The call is about 20 minutes.
- Property visit (optional) A visit to walk the property with us costs $150. That pays for our drive and our time.
- Quote and date hold Your quote has its own page. Choose your rentals and ask for changes. We hold your dates for 30 days, or until you accept or decline.
Then you book. How you book depends on whether your plans need a county permit. We tell you on the call.
No permit needed
Most reunions, retreats, and hunting trips.
- Accept the quote and pay half.
- Pay the rest 60 days before you arrive, with a security deposit. We return the deposit after checkout.
With a county permit
Weddings, and some events with day guests.
- Accept the quote and pay the permit deposit. We apply to the county for you.
- Pay half when the county approves.
- Pay the rest 60 days before your date. Send us your certificate of insurance at least 30 days before your date.
- We confirm your booking when you have paid in full and we approve the certificate.
Start with the basics

Planning pages for your group

Nobody needs an account or a password. You decide what the rest of the group can see. The pages are optional.

- One sign-up link for the whole group. Download the list as a spreadsheet
- Who sleeps where
- Put each person in a bedroom, the Study, an air mattress, an RV, or a tent
- Food needs
- Each person marks their diet and allergies. You see the totals before anyone shops
- Meals
- Plan each breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and name who cooks it
- Schedule
- A day-by-day plan, with notes that only you can see
- Groceries
- A shared list. We can buy what nobody is bringing before you arrive
- Extras
- Ask for tables, chairs, outdoor heaters, and more. We send the price
