BEFORE YOU BOOK ANOTHER PROPERTY, PLEASE READ OUR REVIEWS! Horseback riding, including snow rides, are incredibly popular, too. Let us know if you want to ride so we can “pencil” you in! Availability subject to weather and ground conditions review day of ride by hosts. Target shooting and 4WD tours may also be available here on site. Non-aggressive, dogs are more than welcome. No Pit Bulls or Rottweilers, however. Over 175 canine guests so far. The only two ugly issues were with Pits. The Cottage is nestled in 40ft-75ft pines, the perfect place for a weekend getaway deep in the Kaibab National Forest. Whether you’re looking to beat the heat of The Valley, Havasu, Tucson, So California or Vegas, or for a serene trip, a romantic getaway, or an adventure vacation, or even a honeymoon, this is the place. You'll love the "no air conditioning needed" comfort of The Cottage. Open, crack or close windows to adjust your room temp. Free amenities include free pellet stove fuel & one free 12 pack of firewood for the fire pit as long as there are no fire restrictions. BBQ tools included. Add'l firewood at low prices. No Wi-Fi due to satellite bandwidth limits.

Your 1b, 1ba Cottage comes with a dual-heated, King bed. The Cottage sits on 10 acres+, unlike 1-2 acre or less, packed areas like Kachina Village, Mountain Aire, Baderville, Doney Park, or Sherwood Forest, which are neighborhoods. These “city neighborhood styled areas” are NOT desirable; mixed communities with nice houses and junk properties intermingled. At The Cottage, you will not be in a suburban or semi-rural neighborhood. You’ll be staying far from local cities. This is a free-standing, remote, deep-in-forest place with a gorgeous view of the famous Spring Valley. The Cottage is a separate home, with living room, kitchen, bedroom, bath, & dining nook. Kitchen ware and utensils, salt, pepper & some spices stocked for your convenience. This property was initially developed in 1990 by the Wrigley Family. Yes. Wrigley Field (Chicago Cubs), Wrigley Chewing Gun. Known by legacy as “The Wrigley Ranch,” it’s most recently known as “Dago Joe’s Place.” As remote as this may be, you'll be safe and secure as we are here on property to assist in any unusual or emergency situation. We have never had such an occurrence. We do have efficient plans for almost any emergency.
