Christopher Creek Lodge

What a great, relaxing place to stay with my family. We loved being able to relax on the back patio right by the creek and grill dinner. It was also great to hike close to where we were staying especially with a tired 7byear old. The fire place in the cabin really was nice to relax by and the fire pit and S'mores with the family was also amazing. We will definitely be back again. | The staff at check in was also very friendly and helpful. The only negative was that the back window screen was broken when we arrived and the screen had gaps but I was able to prop it up using the broom.

All around 5 stars, great little spot to just enjoy nature and spend time with your family on a get away from the moment we arrived we loved it. Todd was great and helped us with everything we needed. Rooms were clean and cozy and there's a little store and resturant right down the road. This may be our new yearly spot.

Stayed for two nights on a Monday and Tuesday night, middle of August. It was wonderful! We had the entire place pretty much to ourselves. The rooms are very comfortable. We stayed in a Pony Express unit near the front. Elk would wander and graze through the grounds. Staff was very helpful and friendly and they have bags of peanuts to give you to feed the squirrels! Unfortunately, there was a fire ban so we couldn't use the firepits dotted throughout the grounds, but we were able to use the gas grills. We plan to stay again in the autumn to see the trees change colors. We're also planning a winter stay there and hopefully see some snowfall. It's less than a 2-hour drive from Phoenix. All in all, I highly recommend Christopher Creek Lodge!

What a relaxing escape! Came up from the valley for a couple nights, and was welcomed early by the staff. Stayed in one of the "motel" front rooms. They're what you'd expect in a motel-style room, but more quaint, with a fairly spacious loft above. GREAT if you have some children visiting with you. Could also accommodate 3-4 adults with no problem. Lots of attractions in the area, but if you're staying put, there are restaurants and a nicely stocked store within walking distance. Can't say enough nice things about the staff. Truly welcoming and friendly!

My partner and I are not rough and tough outdoorsy folk so I found this place on Google when looking for a more “glamping” type of experience for a weekend getaway from Phoenix. Camping without all the bugs and actual toilets. This place was nice. Peace and quiet in the woods, it was cold and rainy when we first got there which had the creek rushing the next day. fresh air and good walking near the street by the lodge. Theres a pretty good restaurant nearby (hours are a bit wonky so check) and a general store that had some higher quality offerings than what I was expecting. In our cabin #3 we had a main bedroom with a big comfy bed and a tv in the bedroom and main space. Theres a nicely remodeled bathroom with a sink toilet and shower. Not enough shampoo body wash or conditioner provided.
