Previously in 2023, my friend invited me to come to Strawberry Inn for a Yelp Getaway Weekend prior…read moreto me joining Yelp (photos uploaded previously). We stayed in a cottage, and I longed to return as before Angie's passing, we said we would do a yearly girls getaway weekend. Sadly, she would pass away just two short months after this trip. I'm happy to say, I'm finally making it back up here Angie! My boyfriend and I wanted to plan a weekend that wasn't a busier holiday or summer weekend. We landed on booking over Indigenous Peoples Day in October. We settled on booking a cottage as I adored the one we stayed in for the girls day weekend (Cottage 4). What I Booked: Premium 2 Queen Cottage, Hot Tub + Fire Pit Pros: - Versatile accommodations (bungalow, premium cottages, tiny cottages, airstreams, and inn rooms) - Love the backyard so you feel like you have your own private space - Very scenic and peaceful area around the cottage - Beds and pillows are very comfort for a good nights sleep - Hot tub is worth the extra money, and we both said it's a dealbreaker if there's not a cottage with one available - Porch is perfect a rainy afternoon or morning coffee as they do provide k-cups (don't forget to pack your creamer or milk as they do not have onsite) - Very responsive via text when we had an issue with a lock, and didn't receive email with check out instructions (likely went to spam but could not find) Cons: - The layout is a little odd, but manageable - Tight space, so fridge door can't fully open - Television placement in the back room of Cottage 1 is on the side wall, so you can't really watch anything (very odd design choice) - No lotion provided, usually a standard for hotels and accommodations - No table for the porch to have meals out there if you wanted a covered space for a meal (use picnic table outback but not covered) Overall, even those small nits in the Cons list, we have a fabulous stay! I'd prefer to stay in Cottage 4 like I did the first time, but it wasn't available. Cottage 1 was still a lovely stay but we didn't need two rooms. Truly amazing weekend getaway, and hoping to make this a yearly retreat with my boyfriend. My soul feels rejuvenated and would highly recommend to family, friends, & fellow Yelpers! See You Berry Soon!

I can't rave enough about The Strawberry Inn. I've stayed here many times throughout the years and…read moreit is just the quintessential solo staycation spot, year round. In the winter, I love just staying in the main rooms or any of the cottages and decompressing, relaxing, staying warm. In the summer, it's the perfect area to go on some great hikes (I recommend Highline, Wildcat, and Fossil Creek of course). The rooms/airstreams are immaculate - with a truly relaxing, rejuvenating aesthetic. I've stayed in the queen and king rooms with couch, desk etc as well as the cottage and airstream which have more space and little kitchenettes perfect for making a small breakfast or reheating some leftovers. Service is really top tier- especially considering everything is hands-off, and there's no physic host/ess property manager on site- but Mike the Elk answers promptly and fulfills all reasonable requests to ensure your stay is just about perfect. Highly recommend coming here just for the inn alone- all of the other activities, restaurants and attractions will follow! @azfitfoodfun

We had an off-road group with approximately 20 plus people stay here for 2 nights on Memorial Day…read moreweekend. The owners Kenny and Heidi are amazing. They take care of everything want to make your stay perfect. They also prepare 5 Star quality meals. They have many activities for all ages. A saloon with pool table. They also have a custom made shooting gallery. If you're e looking for a place to stay in Young with a large group, I strongly suggest the Deadbroke Inn. Plenty of secure parking for your cars and even has room for trucks and trailers if this is your staging point. This place is still making improvements as it is under new ownership. This place has character and super fun. If you're looking for a 5 five-star hotel, this place isn't for you. It is clean and comfortable though and very welcoming. Will definitely be going back in the future. Looking forward to it.

Cannot recommend this place enough. If I could give it 10 stars, I would! This place has a charm…read moremoney cannot buy. This little gem in Young, AZ is complete with unique & cozy accommodations with amazing views and, of course, Robin and Karla. My boyfriend and I were invited by a good friend & there were 7 of us total. No particular agenda or specific plans were made for this little trip, but we were plenty occupied and engaged the entire time. We stayed in the Saloon/Guesthouse (which Robin built, by the way!) and it was plenty of space for everyone. Upon arriving Saturday morning, we met Robin & Karla and proceeded to unload our vehicles. After that, we spend some time observing their horses and soaking in the beautiful weather. Robin & Karla were filling us in on some of the history of the area. I could listen to them talk for DAYS. They're such great storytellers and their passion for digging into the past in an effort to preserve it is really admirable. After about a hour or so, Robin took us out into the woods.. Not sure exactly where we went, but he hopped on his quad and we followed behind (caravan of SUVs & pickup trucks). The road was windy and bumpy and we got some weird looks from the cattle as we blazed passed. We spent a few hours hiking down to some water while Robin filled us in on more history. Some of us panned for gold, others explored the area (found an abandoned mine) or fired some rounds nearby. It was a nice, relaxing morning. We went back to the Inn around 130p and Robin started showing us how to rope. A couple of us gave it a shot.. I didn't. I just stood back & took photos :) Then around 330p, we went up the road to a winery for a tasting (Bruzzi Vineyard.. I'll review separately). We returned a couple hours later with several bottles of wine and started cooking/grilling dinner. Robin & Karla joined us for dinner and conversation in the saloon. We played pool & had a very relaxing evening. Sunday morning didn't really have much on the agenda. After breakfast, Robin & Karla took us up the road to the Hogland General Store and gave us a tour of the structures on the land. Again, more information about the history and the people that lived in Young years ago. It was all very interesting. We will definitely be back & hope to have time for a longer stay.

Great experience. Very warm and comfy. Dave was a hoot. Looking forward to another get away.read more

I really enjoyed my time at the Sherrill Ranch Cabin. Tucked on a ranch in Pleasant Valley, Young,…read moreArizona, far from the hectic pace and noise of the city or even the suburbs. Clear skies with little light infiltration by night allow you to see the Milky Way and thousands more stars than in more populous places. Trails around the cabin will let you hike, bike, or drive through nature, admiring trees, flowers, birds (like the beautiful, red vermilion flycatcher) and if you're lucky, a bugling elk or few. Sit by the pond and listen to the bullfrogs, watch the hummingbirds, listen to the cows that might be sharing the ranch with you. Just don't forget to close the gates! The ranch managers, Cindy and Mike, will provide you with a comfortable cabin, clean and fully-appointed for your needs. They're attentive should you need anything but will otherwise grant you the privacy a mountain cabin retreat should offer. Open the shades for some wonderful views; the windows for some country-fresh air; or light a fire in the fireplace for some romantic evenings in. They can also provide you with plenty of info for things to do in Young and the nearby areas. Are you into wine? Visit the local vineyard and winery for a tasting. Stop into the local diner for a wonderful home-style meal. Into off-roading or horseback riding? Talk to Cindy and Mike, they can point you in the right direction for some adventure. the available Wifi is convenient in a pinch for those who want to stay connected some... but here at the Ranch, set the tech aside (unless it's a camera) and get out for a sunrise walk or a sunset brew.
