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.

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!

What a gem!! So incredibly happy to have found this place and we were so lucky to have it all to ourselves for 2 evenings as well. We came in for the weekend to leave Monday although ended up staying another evening. The lake view is perfect, the cottage was divine and quite large for $$. We enjoyed the kitchen as we at there most of the time since we were right on the water and again all alone, why leave. We met Chuck the owner, what a wonderful man. If you both have the time, sit for a chat he has some Fabulous stories. He is currently updating this fall the outside and some inside, going to look amazing. There are tons of activities as well, boats, PB, kayaks, just a wonderful place to enjoy and the Storks oh love those guys all day!!

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.

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 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.

It worked for us.
This is the type of cabin where you get what you pay for. The cabin feels safe, but it is old and in disrepair. The faucet to the bathtub was falling off and chunks of the wall would come off when you turn it on. The shower always sprays when you are running bath water. Our cabin had plates, bowls, cups, silverware, salt/pepper, and some very old stove top pans. The kitchen appliances are RV size and work fine. The bedding and furniture had a lot of dog hair on them. My son is highly allergic to non-hypoallergenic dogs. So, he had a bad reaction. We come prepared for that with all pet-friendly locations. Our heater went out the second night. When I called the phone number, the property had it repaired within 20 minutes. The location is great. My family probably won't stay here again, but this would be a great place for men who want to "rough it" for a fishing trip but don't want to stay in a tent. Be sure to bring your own paper towels, trash bags, oven pans, foil, plastic wrap, ice, and cooking spray.
