Pet Friendly! The Cedars Cabin Welcome to Cedars Cabin at Lazy Oaks Resort — where rustic charm meets lakeside fun, and mountain memories are made. This cozy two-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin sleeps up to seven and is the perfect home base for your White Mountains escape. Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen and dining area for cooking up breakfast before a day on the lake, a comfy living room with a Smart TV and wood-burning fireplace, and all the essentials for a cozy, no-fuss stay. Yes, there's Wi-Fi — but trust us, you probably won’t need it much. Step outside and the real magic begins. Rainbow Lake is just steps away, and guests have free access to kayaks, pedal boats, and rowboats (April through October). You can fish from the shore, our fishing docks, or venture out on the water for Rainbow Trout, Catfish, or Largemouth Bass. Prefer dry land? Play a round of cornhole or horseshoes, swing in a lakeside hammock, or let the kids run wild on the playground. And when the sun dips behind the pines, gather around one of our three shared firepits with s’mores, stories, and a few new friends. Feeling social? You’ll be sharing four beautiful lakefront acres with 17 other cabins, and Lazy Oaks has a way of bringing people together. You might end up grilling side-by-side with neighbors, swapping tips on fishing spots, or laughing with strangers-turned-friends under a sky full of stars. Even better — you're just five minutes from great local restaurants, charming coffee shops, and grocery stores. And if you’re itching to explore, some of the best hiking and biking trails in the White Mountains are less than 10 miles away. Most people who visit say they had no idea a place like this existed in Arizona — and many leave convinced it’s one of the state’s best-kept secrets for places to stay. Whether you’re looking for peace and quiet, outdoor adventure, or just a place where your family can unplug and reconnect, Cedars Cabin is the kind of place that brings people back year after year. Kick off your shoes, take a deep breath, and settle into something real.

Lazy Oaks Resort is a special place — rustic, beautiful, and full of character — but it’s not for everyone. Yes, it’s beautiful here. Yes, it’s peaceful. But let’s be honest — when you stay this close to the lake and woods, you're signing up for a front-row seat to the wild side of the White Mountains. That includes bugs (despite our constant spraying), bats (they eat the bugs, so technically they’re staff), mice (adorable freeloaders), geese (loud and entitled), badgers (surprisingly bold), and yes... occasionally, bears (they were here first). Now, don’t panic — actual wildlife encounters are rare. Most critters keep to themselves, especially if you don’t leave snacks out like it’s a buffet for the forest. But still — if the idea of a spider ruins your weekend, this might not be your dream getaway. Pet owners, listen up: we love animals — yours, ours, and the wild ones that roam the area. But please keep your furry friends leashed and in your sight at all times. This is real nature, not a fenced-in dog park. Wildlife doesn't care how sweet your pup is, and we'd like to avoid any awkward encounters that end in vet visits or dramatic stories. About the internet... Yes, we have Wi-Fi, and yes, it usually works pretty well — we’re talking about 90%-95% success, which earns a gold star up here in the mountains. But it’s not perfect. Our Smart TVs run on that same connection, so they may occasionally get “dumber” than advertised. More importantly — you didn’t come all this way to watch reruns of your favorite show. You came for fresh air, starry skies, and that glorious lake just outside your door. We’ve got free kayaks, pedal boats, fishing, hiking trails, and enough sunshine to completely reset your mood. So shut the laptop, drop the remote, and go make a real memory — the kind that doesn’t need Wi-Fi. A few more things to know… Lazy Oaks is home to 18 rustic cabins tucked into about 4 acres of private lakefront property. Yes, you’ll have neighbors. Yes, you’ll share grills and boats. And yes — that’s part of the charm. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself around a campfire, swapping stories, sharing snacks, and making new friends with people you never expected to meet. It’s a social kind of place — in the best way possible. And those cabins? Many date back to the 1930s–1950s. They’re clean, cozy, and full of charm you just can’t fake — the kind that creaks a little and tells stories in its sleep. We’re gently updating them over time, keeping the best of the old while making space for the comforts of the new. If you appreciate character with your comfort, you’re going to love it here. If you're looking for ultra-modern, sterile, and silent... well, we hear Scottsdale’s nice. But if you’re ready for a lakeside escape with soul — we’ve got a cabin waiting for you. The bottom line? 100% of guests who arrive with the right expectations have a wonderful time — and hundreds return year after year. Lazy Oaks isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and soak in something real. We just want you to know what we’re all about — and if that sounds like your kind of getaway, we can’t wait to host you. Just a heads-up: We do ask all guests to sign a short rental agreement before arrival. We didn’t want to go all “legal,” but our lawyers insisted — especially since we’re right on the lake, welcome pets, and offer free use of boats.

The cabin needs a lot of maintenance, especially the heater. It does not work very well and makes a loud noise. Our cabin was COLD even with a fire. The kitchen only had one pot to cook with and not many supplies. We did have fun on the walks. Very beautiful scenery. Also they allow dogs. Thank you! ##### Marilyn G.

You don’t have a peer or access to the lake directly off the cabin like shown in the pictures it’s out in front of all of the cabins. I think it’s great that they allow pets but when doing so there should be no carpet maybe some cheap throw rugs so the place doesn’t smell like To the point where your clothes in the suitcase smells like animal. ##### Kerry J.
