IT would be nice to have a larger fridge and a couple kitchen items like a BBQ so we didn't have to drive into Mesa for dinner each night. There were cowboy BBQ's but they were quite expensive so we didn't participate. Also did the kayak trip on the river and it is not what is advertised so that was a bit disappointing. I realize the river was very low at this time but wished we would have been told what to expect for our trip as I was disappointed.

Location was amazing and the Breakfast were outstanding. Most of staff super friendly Cabins are comfortable - really liked being right down at the river

Nothing!

It is in such a gorgeous location that we loved looking at the mountains, especially the jagged ones! It’s so peaceful for being so close to a large city like Phoenix. We are horse lovers so that was a huge draw for us, too!!! The people were all very friendly as well.

Not much not to like. Its probably a place that is better enjoyed if you have your own transport, but otherwise all good 👍

The staff could not have been more helpful and the location is stunning.

The pool toys and area could use a bit of an update but watching the rabbits while swimming quickly put it out of mind.

You can’t beat the view!!! Breathtaking-especially from the river. We loved the porch, the pool, the breakfast and the wonderful staff. The water adventures are amazing and we will definitely be back for more kayaking and a horseback ride. We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves and the nightly bat show was unreal. Fabulous time!

Small inconvenience for coffee addicts. No coffee machine in the room. My husband and I are usually up by 5am and enjoy our morning coffee. We survived on cold can coffee until the delicious hot coffee was available in the dining room around 7:30am right before the fantastic breakfast.

The location was perfect, we were able to enjoy kayaking and tubing on the river within steps from our room. The outdoor yard games and swimming pool gave us plenty of things to do. Our room was comfortable with rustic charm. Every staff member was friendly, helpful and made us feel welcome.

A few more garbage cans around the property would be nice. With the fact that you bring all your own food, other than breakfast, you fill up the little garbage cans in the rooms quickly. The afternoon/evening front desk lady was nice, but seemed put out when I brought up two of our rooms garbage bags after we had our dinner and asked where to dump it and for more bags to put in the room. She stated that if we would leave the garbage on the patios before noon the staff would pick up. (We filled our garbage up with dinner and didn't want it sitting in our room all night) So, the next day one of our rooms had a full bag of garbage and we left it on the patio when we headed out for the day. We returned around 3 p.m and the garbage was still sitting on the patio. Also, a little clearer instruction on who can eat in the dining area. We saw 2 parties take their lunch/dinner into the dining area and spread out to eat. When we tried to take dinner in one night we were turned away, by the same lady who we discussed the garbage with, stating we could not bring outside food into the dining area.

We loved the overall experience, love that it is secluded from the craziness of Arizona's Salt River and Lake systems. Staff was all very nice and accomodating. The breakfast was the best amenity by far, great food and love the freshness of it all. We loved that they had so many activities to do. Great place, loved all the trails, and other amenities. Staff was friendly and helpful at all times.

I couldn't stay longer!

We loved it so much we ended up staying 4 days instead of three. The views are incredible and so many fun activities.. The breakfast is delicious. and changes every day.. Box lunches are delicious and available for purchase. Horseback riding on site. We did the hour and a 1/2 ride in the morning and on another day we did the hour ride in the evening. Both rides were spectacular.. Betsy & Marrcel are great. John & Shawna Lee are awesome, All the staff is amazing. Celeste, Holly, Vanessa, Ana, Amber, and the Chefs!! I also did a beautiful hike with Cooper as the guide. Sorry if I forgot anyone! We will be back!

I wish we could have stayed longer to get more out of our visit.

Such a stunning location within easy reach of Phoenix. We didn't expect this oasis of peace to be around a half hour drive from Sky Harbor Airport. The breakfasts were delicious and generous. There's horseback riding and kayaking on the doorstep. The staff are incredibly welcoming and the cabins were delightful.We had a wonderful morning horseback ride with Amber who introduced us to the flora and fauna. If we had stayed another day we would have gone kayaking.

The staff and amenities were wonderful. The lodging and structures are very old, so you must understand that prior to judging the condition of the rooms and main building, but they have been kept up with and in great condition. The rooms have a very nostalgic feel to them which is definitely part of the charm of this place. Loved everything about it.
