FREE Wi-Fi/Internet in this huge 1 bdrm suite upstairs, over 3 empty bedrooms that will eventually make this an optional 4 bdrm home. THE LOFT IS FULLY SECURED WITH ITS OWN PRIVATE ENTRY DOOR including lock and dead-bolt.

The suite features a full kitchen, dining nook, and great room. Hand-carved ash framed bed w/dual “his and hers” heaters. Bathroom is just outside the bedroom and is exclusively available for you, your children and friends/guests.

We recommend a maximum of 4 guests in The Loft. We have adequate sleeping area for 6 guests. But for comfort, 4 seems more reasonable unless you're bringing children. There is a Master Bedroom with a hand carved, birch wood, Queen Bed and room for sleeping also on a huge wrap-around couch and two theatre seat recliners.

Shared front door/entry access for downstairs (future 4bd option) and upstairs 1bd loft. Only our maid and I access the downstairs for adding pellets to the downstairs pellet stove and checking the gas heater in winter. Usually this is when you're not in The Loft.

In Winter, wood stove is the main source of heat with central heat as backup. Wood for the wood stove is supplied by us FREE. No A/C ever needed. Ceiling and stand alone fan for extremely rare hot days and warm evenings. Summertime lows in the and 50s. Highs in the 80s with no humidity!

All forest and ranch activities begin at the front door! Bring your dirt bikes, quads, and/or your horses & dogs (and cross country skis in winter). We directly connect to the Spring Valley Cross Country Ski Trail.

Equine fee covers fresh water, pasture and lean-to occupancy w/ alfalfa twice daily. 12% Sweet Feed available at additional cost. Free parking for cars, trucks, and trailers in designated areas. No indoor storage for motorized vehicles, bicycles, or tack.

You’re welcome to enjoy the ranch as much as the forest surrounding us. Feed the horses long carrots, take the baby goats for a walk, gather your own chicken and duck (.50, $1 each respectively... so long as they're laying).

Fire roads offer great adventure rides for quads and bikes... and horses. Great horseback riding off-trail in prairies, meadows and in surrounding hills and mountains/forests.

Our family had the best time at Joe and Barbara’s place. They had everything we need for a comfortable stay from a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom to a comfortable bed and cozy room! We loved being able to enjoy the property and nearby Flagstaff restaurants and attractions. We would love to come back.

We had a lovely stay in the Loft. The air smelled of pine, the loft surrounded by beautiful scenery, pastoral fields and pine forests, with spectacular views of Mount Humphries along the road to the loft. The setting is spectacular and the loft comfortable and cozy. Joe showed us how to setup the amazing fireplace and we loved it! It kept us warm and honestly it was fun to keep it going during those chilly nights of our stay. Highly recommended for a peaceful and private stay. Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon are both easily accessible from Joe and Barbara’s place.

We booked Joe’s place after our reservations at the south rim of the Grand Canyon were canceled, & we’ve never been so pleased with a surprise cancellation! We were unable to take advantage of so many amenities they offer since our plan was to explore the canyon, so we’ll have to come back. Joe was super helpful by clarifying the best route to get there, offering suggestions for restaurants & other things to do in the area, & being a great conversationalist. The Loft is in a beautiful, peaceful setting with so many animals we didn’t have a chance to visit. 🙁 It was so nice to have all that space instead of a hotel room, & everything from the comfy furniture to the well-stocked kitchen was just perfect. We only wish it had been cool enough to use the wood stove. All instructions were detailed & clear. We highly recommend & sincerely hope to be able to return!
