Lake of the Woods Resort

We've been going to Lake of the Woods for about twenty years, and it has become one of those places that wends its way into our family's story in a thousand ways. We look forward to the trip each year, and even once we arrive, it still somehow feels like a real vacation. The setting is tranquil, nestled into the trees, and it has that cool, quiet Arizona mountain vibe that makes you slow down in a good way. The thing that really keeps us going back is, is the ownership and how they run their place. Of course, they've always treated us as people and not a transaction, and have gone out of their way over the years to take care of us on more than a few occasions. And that level of consistency, and pride they take in what's being done there is so rare that it really kind of shines through the

I used to vacation here when I was a kid 20 some odd years ago and it's still just as fun and exciting as a full-blown adult now! Staff super fantastic. Super helpful. Really friendly. The cabin was beyond cozy. All the amenities were supplied we wanted for nothing. If there is only one thing I could recommend is maybe adding like a DVD player or VCR and having a small movie library. For those days where it's raining outside and you're inside all day.

Pretty outdated definitely could use some updates. However bathrooms and kitchen were clean. Carpeting in the main areas seemed old and dirty. We stayed in one of the large cabins by the highway. It was loud during the day but at night it was quiet which was to be expected. Kitchen was was lacking in some cooking utensils and there was no sponge to wash the dishes but there was a dishwasher. There weren't really alot of photos of the cabins online and the video depicted a slightly different impression. We thought they were individual cabins not 3 stacked on top of each other so with dogs it made it a little harder but doable. Cabin was huge inside so we had a ton of space. All and all it was an ok place to stay.

We stayed in cabin 5 which is a nice studio with a view of the lake. The cabin was clean but could use some outside cleaning. All the windows to look out were covered in cob webs. The supplies in the cabin are minimal. 2 cups 2 coffee cups etc. Our fist morning I went to cook breakfast and the only spatula was the huge ones used for a bbq. It was difficult to cook our meal. The first night we sat down to have some adult beverages on the porch looking out in the lake. The freezer has an ice tray made for a doll house. The next day while out we stopped at the $ store to buy those 2 items. Be aware if you take a shower they don’t provide shampoo or conditioner but there is a bar of soap. If you need a blow dryer be sure you ask for one since none is provided in the cabin.
