    Nice rooms

    December 05, 2012

    This is a very nice place for the price the rooms are great and the owners are very nice. The only complaint that I have is that the beds could be replaced. Other then that great place to stay while hunting.

    Great stay during elk hunts of 2012 - 3A & 3C, Heber, AZ

    October 17, 2012

    Upon arriving the first evening a bull elk wondered into town and started to bugle right outside the door of the lodge. People very friendly and always willing to lend a hand if needed.

    Return trip from q very long drive

    October 12, 2012

    We were returning from a long drive for q family funeral in Wisconsin. This was our last stay after many others. Definitely one of the most lovely stops we've ever made. Rooms were well decorated and very clean. Service was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Extremely obvious that the owners are very proud and extremely hard workers as well as outstanding decorators. We've been.telling everyone to give it a try. Frenchie and Lynn.

    Peaceful, clean place...will stay again!

    July 24, 2012

    We reserved newly-remodeled adjoining rooms (6 & 7). All new flooring, paint, fixtures, furniture, etc. VERY clean with an outdoorsy theme, nice wooded courtyard with picnic tables and BBQ grills. Beds are very firm, which did not work with my bad back, but a cushioned topper would have been great. The place is located along the highway, but we had very quiet rooms. Limited breakfast (sack with your choice of yogurt, granola bar, juice) but good and healthy, nonetheless. Wifi was nonexistent in one room and sketchy in the other, but they are currently working to improve that (works well in the courtyard). The best parts of the stay were our interactions and conversations with the owners, who were extremely amiable and helpful, pointing out scenic drives, fun shopping and good eats nearby. Although there was a chain hotel just down the road at a slightly higher rate, we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Tim and Cheryl!

    warm and cozy

    February 09, 2012

    My husband and I really enjoyed the Buckskin. We look for local businesses to support and this one is definitely one for return visits. The only thing I recommend is that the mattresses be updated, they are worn out and need replaced. It was quiet and comfortable. thank you, keri marana, az
