    There are a few things going for this place: weather in the evening - the air is clean and fresh, it's cool and quiet; water pressure in the shower; and water quality. To call this place a "resort" is a stretch. It is a bunch of cabins in between two roads. There is no grass, little pebbles cover the whole territory and make a crunchy noise as you walk; all you see are tree trunks. Cabins look nice from the outside, but quite disgusting on the inside. Floors are covered in a terrible shaggy brown carpet. There is a couch and an armchair that are made out of fabric that looks as if it were never cleaned (and it probably was not). To open a window, a guy that brought us to the cabin stepped on a couch and did not even dust off his footprint. Wooden cabinets in the kitchen do not close as they are covered in a thousand layers of lacquer. Kitchen table and benches were sticky from, probably, never drying layers of lacquer (no wiping/clanging helped). Refrigerator was missing shelves and could not be regulated so all our food, milk, water and sodas froze. An electric stove took forever to heat up and only 2 out of 4 burners were working. Bathroom was totally gross: cracked toilet seat and sink, tub with a rusty drain hole, a disgusting medicine cabinet. Towels were grayish and thin. Bedding seemed to be clean except for one of the beds that had a sheet covered in hair and jizz (a new sheet was provided by the office upon request, but we had to change it ourselves). A top of one bed was right under a widow curtain which made the bed unusable as no one wanted to sleep with their head under a curtain or with their legs hanging off the end of the bed or with a head in the hallway. The most horrible, however, were blankets. Naturally grey they had a brownish hue and I'm willing to bet a large sum of money that they have not been washed in months, maybe years, or maybe never. The bathroom was supposed to come stocked with facial tissue - did not have it; makeup removing wipes - 1 for 3 nights stay; bar of soap for the shower - 1 piece for 4 people, 3 nights stay; bar of soap for sink - 2 tiny bars. Glad we brought our own stuff. Outside garbage cans were not emptied until the end of our stay which was quite unpleasant. The last surprise was when before departure I was taking out kitchen garbage. Our garbage can had a huge burned through hole I knew nothing about as it had a garbage bag inside when we arrived. The edges of this hole caught on a full garbage bag and ripped it on a side as I pulled it out, spilling some of the contents. All interactions with staff by me or anyone from our group were less than pleasant. Asking for a sponge as the one in the room was quite gross, a roll of paper towels, or a garbage bag was met with a surprise as if those things are not supposed to be used. These interactions could have been avoided if we had an extra paper towel roll, a new sponge, and an extra garbage bag already in the cabin. We had a nice time sitting outside, but being inside was tough as every minute I wished I could levitate so I don't have to touch anything...

    This was our first time up in the white mountains. We saw the reviews and wanted a get away for a couple days. It was so nice to have it so cool at night and morning. And the cabin was very clean Nothing fancy. We sat outside most of the time. No one ever came to disturb us. The only thing I would change is the chairs on the deck. They are small and wobbly. I say in them but if you were bigger they wouldn't work for you. My husband went out to buy a chair. If you are looking for simple and quiet and a very clean place to be this is a nice option. Very scenic drive from Tucson. A very pleasant surprise.

    We also loved that Darbi's was walking distance, and the hiking trails near the property were also fantastic.

There are 2 areas to fish from. They have a Jon Boat, peddle boat, and kayaks that are available for free on a first come/first served basis but only during office hours 9-4pm. There is a bigger boat for rent but it was broken. There were lots of trees and shade which we liked. We stayed in the Ash cabin. It was not great. It is old. The "comfort zones" which we later found out were heaters were on and set to 80° when we arrived. It was very warm inside when we arrived and we didn't figure out until too late that we were turning the heaters down to cool things off not off. There were no manuals to help instruct us on temperature control and we had to text the after hours number to get help. It took 2+ days to cool this place down. They encouraged us to open windows at night but not many of the windows (none upstairs) had screens. There is no cooling unit upstairs but they brought us some box fans which didn't help much. The plumbing upstairs was slow and had to be snaked because the sink wouldn't drain. Fridge took some time to cool down but then worked fine. Couches are worn and you sink down into them. We read that every cabin has a fireplace but ours didn't which was disappointing. There was 1 smart tv. We tried to log into Disney but someone else was already logged in. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but then the TV needed a pin that we didn't have. WiFi worked well. The kitchen was clean and had what we needed. The blinds are dusty. We probably wouldn't stay here again unless there were some significant updates.

The dining table had split in 2 places, and you could see lots of junk in the splits. The baseboards were filthy, the kitchen cabinets had salt and coffee and who knows what else spilled on the shelves, and all the cabinets needed cleaning. Pillow shams were draped across the pillows- they were too cheap to buy more pillows to put into them. No hangers in the closet. The sheets looked dirty- not sure they had been washed after the last guest. There's only a small section of shore for the lake- surrounding areas are fenced off. No room for dogs to run and play either. No place for kids to play. They do have boat, kayak and paddle boat rentals for a decent price. We scheduled and paid for 2 nights plus a pet fee, and left after one. They called me the next morning, and did not ask anything about our stay and had no interest in why we left after one night. Opinion- poorly run business, no interest in cleanliness. This is a sketchy party place at night.

We found PVC at the Roundhouse Resort through Hotels.com, which had great reviews. We chose this place because of the amenities they had, given we had our 4 year old with us too! What caught my eye before purchasing was the mini golf and chess game provided to guests. I thought this would be great for my 4 year old to have something to do! Check in was easy, especially given we had reservations prior. Keep in mind there is a $200 deposit/hold when you arrive and a nightly fee of $14. The staff were very friendly and sweet! From the time we arrived to the time we checked out, they were always so helpful! Couldn't ask for better customer service! We were assigned to cabin 5, the deluxe. We were amazed by the cleanliness and the size of our cabin! It felt like a home! The cabin had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, and kitchen. The inside was very modern, freshly painted, and decorated so nicely! The patio was perfect, which also had a bbq grill and seating! It was so nice enjoying the weather from the patio! My fave part of this stay, which is most important, were the beds! They were sooooo comfortable and so clean and the pillows felt like we were like lying on a little piece of heaven! We all slept so good the nights we stayed! Unfortunately, we didn't get to try out the amenities as I hoped because we spent a lot of our time at the lakes and site seeing. Although, our cabin was right in front of the mini golf, which was nice. We got to see other guests play from time to time. Overall, PVC at the Roundhouse Resort was beyond our expectations! We enjoyed our stay so much! We will be back again! Thank you for the amazing customer service and the wonderful stay!
