We are in the lodge which is an entire home and very cozy, but there are also cottages that are smaller but look charming. Outside our bedroom in the Lodge lie the Chiricahua Mountains - it is almost as if they were in the backyard. Near Portal and the local store/cafe, it is a convenient short drive to get what you need or take a break from cooking. Bill is an incredible host - if you need anything or local information, he is friendly and very helpful. This is a perfect place to stay if you like the outdoors and/or want to explore the Chiricahuas. I have been staying different, cooler spots this summer in Arizona (Alpine, Pinetop and now this area) to avoid the brutal Phoenix heat, and by far these are the nicest, most reasonably priced accommodations I have found. Added bonus: they take dogs!

This is a great place to entertain large gatherings in the serenity and natural beauty of the NM high desert.

Huevos rancheros from their brunch menu, trout perfectly cooked and a Greek salad with fresh greens at dinner. Authentic latte from their Italian espresso machine. Friendly servers who check back often and bring extra salsa on request and who had no problem loaning us two of their mugs to use in our room for morning coffee. When we expressed our appreciation of the musical selections playing on their sound system, the owner explained that it was a random mix of "stations" selected by various employees over the last 16 years! This was our second visit while on a road trip in two successive years. Will we be back again? What do you think?

My review is only for the Motel portion of the Portal Lodge. My first room was unmade so I…read morerequested an alternate room. Good news, the second room was clean. The downside was the unavoidable decor and atmosphere. If you dial the wayback machine to the 1960's then you can imagine the room. The interior was extremely dark with a small window facing onto a common deck. The curtains were drawn because otherwise any guest walking by could look inside. Hence it was an exceptionally dark room with a small amount of filtered light. Updating the furnishings, painting the inside, etc. would make a huge improvement. Overall, I would have vastly preferred camping. Unfortunately, I didn't think of that ahead of time and had already booked 2 nights at the lodge. After one night I found the lodge too depressing and returned to Tucson. I did not request a refund since it was my mistake and the lodge needs the money for room renovation. The Portal region itself is fantastic. Great hiking, birding, and so on.

This is a very small RV park w three spaces (full hook-ups), but they have a laundry room, a quaint sitting area, and a very well-maintained space with lots of charm. The surroundings aren't much to take in, but it's a safe and tranquil space. Not far from Bisbee or Tombstone, and very affordable at $25/nt when we stayed in early February. Most people would likely give this three stars, but I'm giving it four, because I liked Dan and Cisco, and how much they cared about their little park. Thanks, guys!!!
