Settle in by the lake

More than an overnight stay.

Stay just steps from the water in one of our individually styled rooms and suites. Several accommodations offer lake views, and every unit has a kitchen or kitchenette.

Cook inside. Stay awhile.

Kitchens and kitchenettes are stocked with basic utensils and cookware, and many units include a full oven. Make breakfast, pack something for the lake, and settle into your own mountain routine.

Take dinner outside.

Enjoy propane and charcoal BBQ options just steps from your door, along with your own picnic table. Bring a canopy, spend the afternoon outside, and linger over dinner in the cooler Lakeside evening.

One more cast

Fishing starts
right here.

Much of Rainbow Lake’s shoreline is privately owned. Staying right on the lake gives our guests convenient access to the water—and more time to enjoy it.

Rainbow Lake is home to rainbow trout, largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill, and other species. Arizona Game and Fish also stocks the lake with rainbow trout.

Bring your rod—or rent one of ours.
Live bait and tackle are available at our boat shack.

Good company. Cool mountain air.

Save a little time
for the fire.

After a day on the lake, gather around our large outdoor firepit, relax under the pines, and enjoy a cool Lakeside evening.

Hardwood is available for purchase right here at the resort, so there’s no need to haul firewood with you.

Trade stories, linger a little longer, and let the day wind down.

Leave room for the little moments

Sometimes, the best plan
is no plan at all.

Morning coffee by the lake. A book beneath the pines. Wildlife along the water and a sunset worth slowing down for.

Rainbow Lake is a wonderful setting for birdwatching and wildlife viewing—or simply sitting outside and enjoying where you are.
