This was a large cabin in the middle of Northeast Arizona. We wanted to get away from the hustle of big city life! Next door was a ranch with five steer, and we could see a few houses scattered in all directions, but 20 minutes from Springerville. Big tables to play games, do jigsaw puzzles. Enclosed back yard for our two dogs to run around in.
We stayed for two weeks in December, snow on the ground. The main house is wrapped by an Arizona room across the south and west walls to help buffer the cold. A pot belly stove in the corner of the living room provided heat. A thermostat kicked it on and off automatically, which unfortunately filled the house with toxic gas fumes, requiring us to periodically open the doors to get fresh air.
We stayed indoors the entire time. DirectTV, NetFlix and DVD player was nice to relax to.
The water is "high mineral content" reddish color. Owners said safe to drink, but our two dogs would not touch it, and family followed suit. We bought bottled water for our two-week stay. We used the red water to shower and brush our teeth.
All of the appliances were off until the morning of our arrival. Ice cream melted in the freezer, and food spoiled in the refrigerator. Even after two weeks, the refrigerator was not cold enough to keep food safe.
The microwave did not work, and the owners ordered a new one to be installed after we left. The gas oven and range worked well, we were able to cook a turkey and roast for our special meals.
