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

Okay, this is a long one as I feel it's needed to actually feel the five star experience!…read more Majestic Mountain Inn, so cute! Family and I decided to take a night trip to Payson. Booked the room hours before arrival with only past experiences guiding my choices. We booked a queen room with two queen beds, photos showed a fireplace as well... I mean winter in Payson Az demands a fireplace... right? Done... booked... on our way. We arrived just before dinner. Once we pulled up, you see a quaint looking mountain hotel escape with one large two story building and several connecting little cottage looking rooms. The manager who checked us in (please forgive me for forgetting his name) had been very accommodating with our requests for more blankets and a lower level room. He also recommended the local pizza restaurant for dinner within walking distance. Our room was adorable and large! Two queen beds, a couch, fireplace and large vanity area with plenty of space for four. The beds were so comfortable and with the fireplace only, left us with a very cozy evening. Almost felt like you were in a secluded cabin in the woods. Also, I won't forget to mention, breakfast was included! Eggs, sausage, bacon, waffles, biscuits, and gravy... so much to choose from. My husband has decided that this will be our "go-to" in Payson from now on. Thanks Majestic Mountain Inn for making our adventure more memorable! See you next time! I apologize for not having any Photos but we were too busy taking in the ambience of this town and making memories, I didn't even think to grab my phone.

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.

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.

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.
