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.

This little cabin was exactly what we needed: an alternative to car camping near Petrified Forest National Park where we didn't have to set up camp in the dark. The cabin was clean and cozy, and the solar-powered lights were more than adequate for us to get settled in when we arrived after dark. We opened a few of the windows to get a cross-breeze and had a lovely night.

Petrified Forest is a beautiful National park to visit, from petrified trees to American history, it’s worth a visit for everyone! Just don’t pick up the rocks! (There’s very nice places around either entrance to purchase souvenirs without disturbing the environment)
