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.

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.

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 really liked the property and the resort we stood in. it is very beautiful, clean and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We loved the fact that the lake was walking distance from our cabin. We would definitely stay here again.

Just a great place to stay the manager Stewart very friendly and rents boats too. It was clean they have BBQs to use and fire pits, horseshoe pit and other things to do outside along with the fishing and the cabins are priced different on what you can afford.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Everyone was friendly and hospitable. The location was beautiful and my husband had the great fortune of catching a northern pike while we were fishing out on the lake. We will definitely be going back!

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.

We stayed here for the weekend as a respite from my husband’s cancer treatments and it was just what we needed. We loved being close to the lake and rented a few different types of boats. Stephen was friendly and very welcoming. The cabin we rented was tiny and we were thankful we are fairly small people. My son thought it was cool that we were staying in a “tiny house.” The kitchen, while small, had everything we needed to make our meals with.
We hope to return and next time will upgrade a bit to a bigger cabin. We are grateful to have found this place especially with its cancellation policy since it’s hard to know how my husband will be feeling week to week.

Get-a-way from Phx heat!!
First time staying here and it was nice! The property manager Stephen was super nice too! My slight negative comment is the bathroom. I get it's a small place to stay but the bathroom was super small, especially for us thick & tall peeps. My husband is a tall guy and struggled a little with the toilet & shower. Other than that, the stay was great!

nice place, were pleasantly surprised
It's a good location, right on the lake. We enjoyed the lake, great weather. It's a pet friendly place, so we're able to bring our dogs. We talked to owner, very nice guy and very helpful. We had few good-hearted conversations and were happy for his company. We did few hikes, awesome surroundings. We can spent hours outside.The only negative is that the place's has very thin walls; and we could hear ppl next door having simple conversations.
