I believe this is the highest elevated town in Arizona and it frigging snows here. Who would think 1-2 hours from Phoenix and snow in October? I mean, just one hour north of Hwy 17 is snow, but in October? It didn't just snow, i got stuck in a damn blizzard. The only time I remember a more fearful snow moment was 17 years ago at Mt. Ranier where we got hit by heavy powder at baseline and forfeited our trekking adventure. The difference is I was healthy and young. Now im sick and old. Anyhow, I pulled over to the first moment i saw lights. Traveling at 5-10mph, it felt like five hours have gone by. Cars started piling up here and finally a nice gent from Tejas opened up for us. I got a warm room, a nice hot shower and limited wifi for $70-75. The night's rest was comforting considering I pre-planned roughing it. someplace between Petrfied and Gallup, NM The lodge itself was ok. The exterior is prettier than the interior. They provided hot warer, coffee, and sugar snacks in the morning. Nothing else was open for breakfast so the sugar helped until I reached civilization to eat real food. The bed was comfy enough for me to sleep past 7-8am. Clean enough to walk around barefoot. And the tv works. The first time i had to shovel off snow and a bit of the driveway to leave. Thank you forest lakes lodge for leaving the light on.

What could have been a frustrating situation was quickly resolved, and they made me feel welcomed and valued throughout my stay. The lodge itself is peaceful, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax and unwind. I especially loved the quiet setting and the beautiful surroundings. Waking up early to photograph the sunrise, enjoy the mountain air, and watch the local wildlife made my stay even more memorable. What truly sets Lodge at 5600 apart is the hospitality. You can tell this is a family-owned business that genuinely cares about its guests. Everyone I met was friendly, accommodating, and took pride in making my stay enjoyable. I left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already looking forward to my next visit. I highly recommend Lodge at 5600 to anyone looking for a peaceful mountain getaway. I'll definitely be back!

My husband wanted me to put in for him as husband likes: Designated parking per cabin-asphalt parking lot A/C and heating were great Options for cooking indoors and outdoors Immediate hot water This is truly a home away from home, everything you need from dishes, glasses, coffee mugs, silverware, toaster, coffee pot (single use), wifi, super comfy bed. We ate all of our meals at the cabin and outside. 5 of the cabins back up directly to the Tonto National Forest with two access points to walk in and venture. In mid-September and during the rut you'll get to hear the elk bugling, what an awesome sound first thing in the morning :) Blackout curtains on the bedroom window and the sliding glass door. Cabin was super clean and so well designed and decorated, kudos to whomever decorated the cabin. Cabin is two story, main bed and bathroom downstairs, additional bed and bunk beds upstairs with small closet. There is even a pet/child gate at the bottom of the stairs that we used to keep our little dog from going upstairs. There's a porch swing out front at all the cabins, was very nice in the evenings and mornings to sit out and enjoy the outdoors. There's a small picnic table in the back, Adirondack chairs, extra folding chairs in the closet if needed. Fire pit, propane grill (has propane can), small charcoal grill too. In the living room is an adorable small gas fireplace (was too warm to use) but pilot is lit and ready to go. Strategically placed notes around to let you know what the password is for the wifi, how to turn on the shower (you'll understand when you get to your cabin), how to turn on the heater. There is a small game room, key is provided for you. Has 2 arcade games, one of them has 30 pages of games, a foosball game and a shuffleboard table, perfect for those with tweens and teens. My tip would be to book your cabin directly through them as this may save you some money vs using a third-party site. Their communication is top notch all the way through with emails and texts. This is our first time staying with Wooden Nickel Cabins and can definitely say we WILL be back! We stayed for two nights and glad we did to really enjoy the cabin. This is a mom-and-pop small owner operation and is nice to help out locals.

They are run down and very dirty from years of use and poor design. But they have been renovating cabins and building new ones to the point where you only need to avoid (at all cost) booking cabin number 5. All the other accommodations are great. The motel portion offers a bed and a bathroom at a very reasonable price. The trail bunkhouses include a kitchenet. And the cabins offer a full kitchen with porches that face the creek. The location cannot be beat. There's beautiful forest all around, a great restaurant with live music (on the weekends) within walking distance, and of course the creek. But best of all is the staff. We have been to the Christopher Creek Lodge on five or more occasions and interacted with many different staff. Every last one of them had been kind and as helpful is possible. If you show up early, they try to get you into your cabin early. If you need something afterhours, they have a phone number to call and they respond. Thanks to the staff the place has a warm, friendly, family feel.
