Great location

The Rainbow's End Resort was a great home base for us while spending a long weekend in the Pinetop area. We didn't use the kitchen but it seemed well equipped. The cabin is older but comfortable and functional. We enjoyed the location on the lake and it was quick to get to Pinetop or Show Low.

The mattress in our room was worn out. I notified the owner, and he replaced it right away. It is a rustic getaway in beautiful pine country. Reminded me of the RoseBud Motel.

DOGS are welcome CABINS ARE CUTE!

It was a wonderful little resort right on rainbow Lake that I enjoyed tremendously. I noticed after with beach accessand on site boat rentals. The unit was cute, comfortable and very clean. The staff was very nice and helpful and my unit had a complete kitchenette with supplies for up to four people to eat. The exterior had quaint little seating areas for everyone and barbecue grills to utilize if you wish I would definitely go back.

The amount of Lake front that was walkable was very limited and not a lot of good seating by the lake for the rooms that were not on the lake side.

the only thing I did not like was the no pets on grass. Dogs cannot read and really struggled when my poor dog waned to go potty to drag her away from grass area. I could see must clean up after your pet.

Dirty, run down and no room for much of anything by the water. Sewer smell due to broken sewer pipes and human waste back up in yard. The owner was rude and does not care about the property.

Really liked being able to fish so close and that it was far enough away from main road to not hear that traffic. Didn't like the mattress as it was sunk in the middle and we would roll into each other. I felt that the host I interacted with was a little gruff and sort of off putting. Also, the room next to us was empty. They set the room up for incoming guests but the they don't check back and the tv was on all night.

We had such a wonderful stay at Rainbow Lake. Thank you Steven for letting us keep the boat right there on the shoreline for easy access during our stay. The room was comfy but the pillows were super hard!! LOL. After we found the extra pillows we were OK. The common area was absolutely perfect! We met the neighbors and had a community fire in the pit on our last night. Thank you again and we will DEFINATELY be back to visit.
