A private property for clubs, boards, nonprofits, teams, and other groups of up to 30 people.
You book all 17 acres and the whole lodge. Nothing is shared, and nobody else is on site.
There are RV sites with electric and water hookups, and a dump station. A second graveled area near the gate takes extra trailers. There is flat ground for tents. RVs and tents are not part of the 30.
The family room seats a group around a stone fireplace under a vaulted ceiling.
The movie theater has four full-size reclining couches, a 200-inch screen, a 4K projector, and a small stage at the front.
The upstairs landing has a sofa, armchairs, and a large TV, and three bedrooms open onto it. The long dining table sits beside the kitchen. The game room has a billiards table, a skee-ball lane, foosball, darts, three arcade cabinets, and a card table. The deck holds a session outdoors in good weather.
The Wi-Fi is fast and it reaches the whole lodge and the deck. It supports Wi-Fi calling. A group can stream, present, and take calls over it.
Cell service in the forest is unreliable and depends on the carrier. Tell people to download maps and turn on Wi-Fi calling before they leave town.
The property has a sport court with pickleball and half-court basketball. There is also a disc golf course, a level field, a firepit, and forest to walk in.
Flagstaff is about 45 minutes north and Payson about 45 minutes south. The Blue Ridge Reservoir and the Rim Road are within 15 minutes. The property is at 7,500 feet, with no town in any direction, so the night sky is dark.

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
You pay nothing until you accept a quote. You can stop at any step before that.
Then you book. How you book depends on whether your plans need a county permit. We tell you on the call.
Most reunions, retreats, and hunting trips.
Weddings, and some events with day guests.
Group planner
After you book, we set up planning pages for your group at no cost. You send one link to the group. Each person adds themselves and the people with them.
Nobody needs an account or a password. You decide what the rest of the group can see. The pages are optional.
Questions
Boards, clubs, nonprofits, sports teams, writing and art groups, homeschool co-ops, bands, and reunions of every kind. Tell us what your group does and how many people are coming.
Yes, on two floors. The family room seats a group around a stone fireplace. The movie theater has a 200-inch screen and a small stage. The upstairs landing, the dining table, the game room, and the deck each take a smaller group.

Yes, always. There is no other group on site and nothing is shared. You book all 17 acres, the lodge, the deck, the sport court, and the field for your dates. We do not rent individual bedrooms.

Yes. A visit to walk the property with us costs $150. That pays for our drive and our time. This site has photos and videos, and we answer other questions on the video call.
For an event with a county permit, we need your final date and headcount at least 60 days before.
Yes. When we send your quote, we hold your dates for 30 days, or until you accept or decline. You can ask for changes during that time. You pay nothing until you accept.
It depends on whether your plans need a county permit. With no permit, you pay half when you accept, and the rest 60 days before you arrive. With a permit, you pay a permit deposit when you accept, half when the county approves, and the rest 60 days before your date. Your quote shows each amount and each date.
Usually, yes. Tell us what you want to change. We update the quote, and you accept the new version. A change to the date or the headcount can affect a county permit.
