Thanksgiving

It was the most perfect trip. End of the Road Lodge has so many extras that you really don’t even need to leave the property. It was perfect for our large family gathering and the kids were asking when we could come back even before we left. The listing pictures do no do the house justice. We all-19 of us- had an amazing time.

Family Gathering

This was an amazing stay vacation for my family! We hosted our married children and grandchildren for 5 days and 4 nights. This has been a tradition at different locations so we have things to compare and my grandchildren said this was their favorite place overall. We are a gaming family so we loved the indoor and outdoor activities, and friendly competition with basketball indoor and out, foosball, arcade games, and crossnet that we brought. The adults utilized the basketball court to set up pickleball while the younger kids loved the zipline and swings. We even had a fun snow day which was an exciting surprise for the kids. The interior cabin room locations and set up was perfect for our situation. The moms of newborns appreciated the rocking's chairs and the toddlers were entertained with the kids corner chalkboard for hours. You always wonder what you will forget when you pack up to go on vacation and I realized I had forgotten all the hamburger buns for dinner. There isn't really a store close by but the owners had to drop off some supplies so they were kind enough to pick up some buns for us and drop them off. Over all this was an awesome experience for everyone and we hope to be able to return again some day.

Family Thanksgiving

We had the whole family together for Thanksgiving. The cabin was perfect. The two kitchens really helped get the cooking done. We had an amazing time. The kids loved playing on the zip line and swings. There was a field big enough for us to have a family kick ball game. We would for sure stay here again.

Great fun for everyone

We've stayed in several cabins over the years and this one is great. It is not overdone or underdone and all of the activities were enjoyed. The extra theatre room was a plus and just having enough space for everyone was great. we loved having 2 kitchens; we kept all of the meal making in the main kitchen and the drinks in snacks in the other. It was perfect.

50th birthday

We stayed here for my 50th birthday and it was amazing! Plenty of room for all our family and friends with a huge room with bunks for the kids. There was a jump line and stream right outside the cabin. The only thing is we went in January and definitely would ensure I had a 4x4 or AWD next time. I would recommend this to any large party that works well together to organize and clean up as a group.

Middle of nowhere oasis

We had a weekend trip with our church youth group of 28 guest. Sleeping arrangements was all there and had no problem. This cabin had plenty of room both inside and outside for everyone. We were able to set up a volleyball court and lawn games. This cabin is perfect for large parties.

Disconnect and Enjoy

If you’re looking for a property to disconnect from the world, then this is the property! This property has a lodge feel way up in mountains, it was perfect! No cell phone service….nothing within miles. Make sure to bring a basketball because they have a full size basketball court on the property believe it or not :). Property owner was very responsive and addressed all of our questions.

Great for family reunions!!

This is the place! It was secluded with beautiful woods all around you. There’s a zip line and lots of seating outside. Inside was so big a spacious. We had no problem sleeping all 12 adults and 13 kids. There is a cute and fun kids corner that the little kids enjoyed and an entire game room that the teens loved. (So many games of basketball) We also had a big water balloon fight on the outside basketball court. The host was amazing. Was easy to contact and ask questions to. There was a problem with a smoke detector going off (low battery) on the top of a vaulted ceiling and our host sent someone to take care of it same day even though we were in a remote location. So great to work with! We more than enjoyed ourselves! I also really loved that we signed a guest book. It was fun to see how many families created memories here!

Great out of the way place.

Plenty of room for all 22 of us. Kids loved the game room. Two kitchens with large refrigerators helped to store our weeks worth of food. Nice concrete basketball court area out back for outdoor hard surface games and activities. Also a large flat area out front to play ultimate frisbee on. Plenty of beds and bathrooms too. Enjoyed it very much. Didn't have to worry about kids making too much noise as we were well separated from the neighbors.

Fun home off the beaten path.

Getting here took a bit longer than expected as 13 miles was a dirt road. It's a nicer dirt road though. Our family (ages 6 - 88) all had a great time. Pros: There's a zip line, a couple tree swings, an arcade TV with hundreds of games, arcade basketball, foosball, air hockey, kids toys, a movie room, a game and book library, bean bags in the loft with TV's (bring your own HDMI/devices) and multiple gathering spaces. Lots of kitchen tools, including a Ninja blender. Lots of bathrooms (one we found the 2nd day). There's plenty of parking, lots of outdoor space, plenty for everyone to do and go. Overall pretty clean. Cons: Most of the fun toys are well used...holes in the basketball return, foosball has sticks for some of the legs but works, air hockey table surface is peeling off in spots. Sodas touching back of fridge in smaller kitchen froze and exploded overnight. Produce froze even after we turned the fridge temp up. Water went to a trickle during one shower, just once, but not sure why. The sheep room shows a double bunk bed...the top mattress was missing, and the metal frame was broken and sharp parts sticking down to the bed underneath. The hostess didn't let us know ahead of time so we could make other arrangements. This left one couple sleeping in the bunkroom with the adult kids/teens. She did let us know there was a missing fan blade we shouldn't turn on in the living room. We didn't need or miss it. Allergy alert: This is a pet friendly home...there was dog hair in the movie room and got on blankets taken in there. I'm guessing it's other places as well. Ventilation isn't great in the bunk room, windows are unreachable on the angled ceiling. Our allergy induced asthmatic child needed breathing treatments daily here. Overall it was a fun trip, not too far from the Phoenix area for our extended family vacation.

Amazing Cabin and Host

My stay at this cabin was an amazing experience. I'm an Arizona native myself and I've never known such cabins and locations existed in this desert state. When we first arrived, the cabin displays amazing features and a beautiful design setup. The host was fabulous with communication, and everything was a smooth sailing from there. I would recommend this cabin to anyone 100 times over and over. This experience will definitely be once in a lifetime for me!

Great place to unwind

This wonderful property has indoor & great outdoor spaces for eating and visiting with friends! Our teens loved the game room, movie theater, and zipline. The indoor spaces are are open and spacious with beds for a lot of people! It is off the beaten path and quiet. There is a beautiful drive thought the forest to reach the Cabin.
