Came to Shiloh Ranch with four friends on a road trip this past week and it was by far our best stop.
Sandee offered us kindness and hospitality, helped us with directions to our next destination, and informed us about the nature around us.
The casita itself was well stocked with plenty of blankets, cooking supplies, and seasonings
The property was stunning and we had a blast looking at the night sky and rummaging around looking for petrified wood
I could not recommend this place enough.

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!

Great remote setting and only about 14 miles from St. John's AZ. I really enjoyed the solitude. Jeremy is a super hoste. He made sure i found the location. The site is questionable for a large RV but for tents, popups, campers etc okay. My Siberian Husky loved running loose.

Sandee’s guesthouse at Shiloh Ranch was an amazing weekend getaway from the city. The upstairs was perfect for our teenage son and his friend to watch movies, play guitar, and just enjoy downtime. There was also plenty of space for them to explore the property and toss a football around. The guesthouse had everything we needed to cook meals inside or out on the grill. The location was beautiful and not a long drive from the Petrified Forest!
