    Had the pleasure of speaking with the owner when making my reservation. There was a glitch while he…read morecompleted said reservation so he took my number, continued to work on it and messaged me my confirmation number. The room was immaculate...baseboards and all, ha. Comfortable for my dogs, husband and myself... Left too early for breakfast but still, Highly recommend...

    I attempted to check in at the Best Western and was refused service simply because I live locally,…read morewhich I found both shocking and offensive. Nowhere on their website or booking information does it state that local residents are not allowed to rent rooms. If that is truly their policy, it should be clearly disclosed before someone takes the time to book or show up expecting to stay. The front desk employee was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional while explaining this supposed policy. Instead of handling the situation politely or offering any kind of reasonable explanation, I was treated like I had done something wrong simply for living in the area. As a paying customer, being turned away simply because of where I live was frustrating, embarrassing, and completely unacceptable. Policies like this should be clearly stated up front instead of surprising guests at the front desk after they've already made plans. Because of this experience, I will never rent a room from a Best Western again--even when I'm traveling on the road. Customer service and transparency clearly aren't a priority here.

    This is truly a diamond in the rough. Simply charming. Everything you need is here, coffee, cold…read morewater, full sized fridge. Wonderful bed, beautiful furniture with magnificent views of the mountains from your balcony, just make this your destination.

    The Bunkhouse was more than my wife and I expected. The pictures on their website is exactly what…read moreto expect. The entire stay had a very relaxing home feel (without the chores that hover in the back of your mind.) If you are inclined to cook your own meal, the kitchen has almost everything (with the exception of the groceries) you would need to prepare meals. The separate bedroom was nice in that I could rise early and start the day without disturbing my wife. The Bunkhouse is located above one of the Yarnell Emporium buildings, so the walk to your door takes you thru a very eclectic collection of outdoor statues and figurines. The proprietors are very accommodating and informative, which made our stay even more interesting and enjoyable. One of the reasons we chose Yarnell was to hike part of the memorial trail in the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park. The Bunkhouse is located within a few miles of the trailhead. The staff at the Emporium can provide you with options to getting to the trailhead. My wife and I usually consider the locations we stay at as just a place to sleep overnight. We try and find places that are inexpensive and clean. I have to end this by saying the Bunkhouse turned out to be a real gem. We plan on returning to do the full memorial trail and hope there is a room at the Bunkhouse when we return.

    I spend a night at youth hostel. It is great place for a group to hang out. This place is about…read more10-15 miles away from nearest town Shoshone; where gas station, grocery & restaurant are located. Hostel is an old trailer with one private room, a dorm for 4 & a well equipped kitchen. Bring your own food, water, etc as it is little expensive at store. Great place to view stars. They have a viewing tower for it. Only cons, it is 1 - 1 1/2 drive to badwater basin. So it is a great place to make a stop. If i have to spend few days in Death Valley, I will live at stovewells pipe or Furnance Creek. Gas is very expensive. I will definitely recommended this place.

    We spent 3 nights at Cynthia's in one of the 3 tipis that she has in the middle of a date farm in…read morethe middle of nowhere. We used the location as our base for covering Death Valley and absolutely loved it! You check in at Cythias and then they lead you, by car, to the tipis by leaving the road and driving through a small canyon that opens out into the China Ranch Date Farm. The tipis are amongst the date palms next to the house which contains kitchen facilities if you wish to prepare food for yourselves. The tipis have air conditioning and heating if you need it while maintaining the pleasures of sleeping under canvas. There are no meals available at Cynthia's but there are several reasonable places to eat and one superb restaurant that is truly a surprise in this location. Talk to Cynthia about the places to eat and you won't be disappointed. There is also a local bar that bees its own beers from some non-traditional ingredients and the ones we tried during our stay and they were excellent. One of the benefits of being far away from built up areas is the the nighttime sky. The stars feel as if they are pressing down on you. Cynthia has an astro safari where Chad can answer any questions you have about the night skies. Chad has a massive astronomical telescope through which he will show you the farther reaches of our galaxy and galaxies beyond. We can really recommend this safari with the combination of pristine clarity and a passionate and knowledgable guide in Chad. We stayed at Cynthia's prior to the availability of the desert safaris. We would like to go back to Cynthia's and take advantage of these excursions. Cynthia loves Death Valley and know is intimately. There is so much to explore with limited time.
