About Our Resort

Lazy Oaks appeals to a wide range of visitors. Rainbow Lake offers great fishing and boating and our amenities are directed toward young and old alike. This beautiful area in the White Mountains provides a wide variety of activities to suit just about everyone. For those who just want to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, Lazy Oaks also provides this. We are a resort for the whole family: whether your “family” consists of a small number of people or a whole group. We welcome your pets to join us – although we hope everyone will abide by some simple rules we have put in place in an effort to show mutual respect for each other and the property.

Lazy Oaks is located on Rainbow Lake in the city of Pinetop/Lakeside in the White Mountains. We are approximately 3 to 3 ½ hours northeast of Phoenix and 4 hours from Tucson. Lazy Oaks consists of 15 one and two-bedroom cabins on approximately 3.5 acres on the shores of Rainbow Lake. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout by Arizona Game and Fish. There are blue gill, catfish, northern pike and large mouth bass, too.

Reservation Policy:
  • We take a 2-night deposit (room rate only) for all reservations at the time of booking. This amount is applied to the last 2 nights of your stay. If you book just 2 nights, the full amount, including taxes will be required.
  • There is a 30-day cancellation policy for all non-holiday reservations and a 60-day cancellation policy for holiday reservations for all cabins. (Holidays include, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.) There is a $25 fee for all cancellations. If you cancel more than 30/60 days prior to your arrival date, we will refund your deposit minus the $25 fee. If you need to cancel less than 30/60 days prior to your arrival date, we will need to re-rent the cabin for your FULL stay in order to refund your deposit less the $25 fee. If more than one booking is necessary to cover your cancelled reservation, there will be a cleaning fee of $50 deducted from your deposit, too. You will forfeit your two-night deposit if we are unable to re-rent any of the nights. There are no exceptions to this policy. NOTE: If you are booking within 30 days your deposit is non-refundable unless we re-rent for the entire dates of your stay.
