This business hasn’t been open for very long. Walking around the property one could tell how hard people were working to add decorative touches to the landscaping. My husband and I stayed in one of the covered wagons. During the night a strong wind started to blow. The wagon top moved some which I enjoyed. It made me think about the pioneers and what they must have experienced during their travels. I know it was not the same since I was snuggled in a king sized bed with an a/c heating unit beside me. Bathroom/showers are located across the lawn. Simple luxuries I have taken for granted, which this trip reminded me of. We are planning on staying here again next year and we look forward to seeing how the place has improved. Next time though we will rent one of their tents and compare that experience to our great grandfathers civil war journal. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend this very unique and peaceful place. May your travels be filled with joyful adventures

My wife and I recently had the opportunity to stay at this unique property on the outskirts of Colorado City, AZ. I mean how often do you get to sleep in a pioneer style covered wagon!?! 😊 Wagon was spacious & clean with a very comfortable bed. Hosts thoughtfully provided a small firepit (which we used) and a grill (which we didn’t). Firewood and charcoal available, along with pretty much anything else you can think of. Groceries nearby allowed us to enjoy an evening picnic on the picnic table beside our wagon. Showers & bathrooms were clean, nearby and well lit at night. We stayed up outside in the evening looking at stars. Wow the stars! Amazingly quiet except for the occasional coyote howling in the desert which you back onto (solid wall fence provided barrier and great views). Great place to stay… highly recommend if you like a sense of adventure and romance!

Run, Don't Walk! The Desert Retreat is a 5-Star

From the moment we arrived at The Desert Retreat, we were absolutely blown away! This isn't just camping; it's a glamping experience elevated to an art form. The attention to detail is simply outstanding. The Desert Retreat offers a variety of charming accommodations, including old-time western-themed tents and wagons, which looked absolutely delightful! We, however, stayed in the cabin unit with a hot tub, and it was an absolute dream. Forget those rustic camping nightmares! The Desert Retreat boasts fantastic amenities, including not one, but two sparkling clean shower stalls and multiple bathroom stalls, plus convenient sinks in each. And get this – one additional bathroom even comes stocked with all the toiletries you could possibly need! Talk about thoughtful! Our cabin was equipped with a full fire pit and a regular grill, perfect for cooking up delicious meals under the stars. They even provide towels and an abundance of firewood at a super reasonable, minimalist cost. For those who love to cook, the free spices and the provision of pots, pans, and utensils were such a wonderful touch. Plus, each site has its own charcoal grill, and The Desert Retreat thoughtfully includes charcoal bags, lighters, and lighter fluid! Worried about the desert heat? Don't be! Every unit comes with its own air conditioning, and thankfully, heat for those cooler desert nights. But what truly made our stay exceptional were the hosts. They were absolutely amazing – so friendly, welcoming, and

This was an amazing experience. I took a motorcycle trip from Canada and was able to stay in a tent in the desert with a view of the Milky Way at night. There was an air conditioner by my bed which was helpful since it was hot when I arrived. I recoomend this place!

The wagon tents right across our tent were damaged. They failed to inform us of all the bugs that would be in the tent and on our bed. The bugs constantly dropped from the ceiling where they seemed to have nested. Big rig trucks constantly passed by behind our tent from the neighboring construction area, we were about 50 feet from that road. The toilet seat in one of the stalls had a streak of feces. Long story short, we ended up booking a nearby hotel.

Amazing getaway!

We had an amazing stay at Desert Sage Retreat! We stayed in the deluxe cabin and it was bigger than we thought it would be. Mind you, I just fit the king sized bed and futon, but it also had a small table, fridge, microwave and tv. Outside of the room, there was a hot tub, picnic table, BBQ and fire pit. They had an office that was open that had various snacks and charcoal for purchase. They also had items like lighter fluid, lighters, BBQ equipment, seasonings, etc to borrow. But let me tell you about the views. Make sure you’re there for sunrise and sunset and once it’s complete darkness, you’ll see every star in the sky!

Highly recommend. Better sleep than hotel!

Wow, the mattresses were the most comfortable that I’ve ever slept on! So thick and supportive. Usually hotels provide very soft and flimsy mattresses but these were quite new and firm! Loved it. The blankets were so soft and warm. I didn’t use many of the amenities like cooler, A/C, or even electricity inside the tent, but I did use the bathrooms and they were excellent! Hot showers and plenty of toilets and showers to accommodate everyone. Super clean. Easy to check-in. Hosts were very friendly and proactive via text. Quiet and nice and cold at night (perfect for sleeping!). Highly recommend just for the AMAZING mattresses and blankets!
