Weekend Trip to Cabin by the Pond
Michele’s cabin was the perfect place to unwind and connect with nature. Walking around the property was beautiful. Deck was nice to sit on in the morning and, although close to the roadway, was quiet.

The cabin was especially clean and comfy. Peaceful and quiet. Though I only stayed two nights I woke up each morning well rested. I am an early bird and was out having coffee at 4am. Stars were amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would recommend it, especially for couples with children. All I have are my four-legged kids but they loved it too.

Absolutely beautiful piece of country!! We loved our stay, especially Fred, the feline mayor of Shiloh Ranch. The place has the vibe of grandma's house, with a well-appointed kitchen and plenty of the basics along with lightning fast internet.

Sandee is an amazing host! She stopped by when I arrived to show me around the cabin. She was so warm and welcoming. The place had everything I could need, and then some! This would be a perfect place to bring my family.
In the morning I took Sandee’s recommendation and drove through Petrified Forest and Painted Desert National Parks, which was an amazing experience after a very restful night at Shiloh Ranch.

3 nights at Shiloh Ranch Guesthouse...& Casita
The guesthouse was warm, homey, peaceful, private, and quiet. The location was great for going to the national park and being away from it all. The massive supply of movies was fun. There were lots of kitchen supplies and extra blankets and stuff, which was nice since you're so far from any towns. Sandee paid us a visit and was very communicative, welcoming, and sweet.

Even in December, I was surprised we were the only ones here. This site is the perfect spot to stay after a day at Petrified Forest National Park. Just a few minutes from the northern entrance. Gave us a night off from setting up the tent, a bit more warmth, and some creature comforts. There are two bunk beds, a full table with four chairs for dining, lights, a radio, even some reading and lots of thoughtful information about the park and other useful things nearby. This place was PITCH BLACK after sunset. I stood outside for some time watching shooting stars. Definitely bring a flashlight as it's a bit of a walk in the dark to the outhouse.

First of all Sandee was lovely and made us feel so very welcome.
Situated on a property that has a main house and multiple guesthouses, my family stayed in the smaller guesthouse. All amenities available meant all our needs were met. The house had plenty of room for us. Our little dog was equally welcome. The ranch was far removed from noise and nonsense, but only 20 minutes from the Petrified Forest south entrance. A beautiful setting!

The spot was perfect for what it was. It was camping with walls and beds! We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit and the relaxing, pretty setting. We all got a good night sleep. We will definitely stay there again if we head up that way.

This place is a little slice of Heaven! Cute and quaint cabin, with a spacious loft and homey feel. There were a ton of great hiking spots with beautiful views on these 40 acres. My German Shepherd enjoyed swimming in the pond, artistically lined with cattails and full of friendly fish. The other pond was a bit overgrown, but still a sight to see. The night sky is perfect for star gazing, away from city lights. “Cabin by the Pond” is definitely a great place to go to escape the business of life!

Cabin by the Pond was a really nice place. Michele was very accessible and was a pleasure to deal with. If you like to fish…. The pond closest to the cabin was full of Bluegill and a few Black Bass. We never tried the second pond as it was difficult to reach due to overgrown reeds. All in all, we would definitely return and recommend!!

My family and I had a wonderful time at the cabin. We fished at the ponds multiple times a day. My dogs were able to run free and enjoy nature. One of the best experiences we have had and we did not even deep dive everything. Michele was very responsive and helpful if we needed anything. Would love to come back!

1 night at Campfire Adventure Ranch
The Hopi cabin was in a semi-secluded area. There were a few other houses and cabins but they seemed unoccupied. The star gazing was spectacular. The cabin was as described. Small but clean. It had a picnic table and a fire pit. Due to a local fire ban we did not use it. The windows with screens in the cabin opened easily to allow for ventilation. The mattress on the bed was comfortable. I would recommend Hopi cabin. Note you need to bring all your own bedding and supplies, including water. Be sure to follow the owner's directions as it is a bit tricky to find. A reasonable trade off for an out of the way retreat. Plan lots of time to ponder the stars.
