Very remote type of wilderness vibe but only 30 minutes from Flagstaff. Rustic environment with warm and welcoming staff.

Great stopover for a road trip, excellent base for hunting, and awesome place for a family trip to the mountains. The staff are awesome, food is great, and cabins are perfect

Web site sucks, doesn't ever work, people working at reservations seem to care less and are of no use. This place use to be fantastic when Forever Resorts and Scott Gold ran it. Now the restaurant has limited hours, limited days it's open and don't even offer breakfast any day. Amarek has run this place right into the ground. They close Oct 31 for the year and don't reopen until springtime, why bother, sell the property to a company that cares for the location and what it could be

Cool in the woods camping. Services are spotty, all closed on Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays, except the camp store. Campsites & RV storage is priced reasonable and sensible.

The establishment has experienced a significant decline in quality. The facilities appear neglected, outdated, and unclean. The restaurant served us cold, day-old prime rib and baked potato. After we addressed the issue with the staff, they removed the food but still presented a bill charging the full amount for the meal. Do not waste your time or money here. Sad because has a lot of potential.
