Owner was very rude and unprofessional. No hospitality experience whatsoever. Rooms were hot. Only one window AC and it was in the living room. Place wasn’t clean. Very dusty inside. Would not recommend staying here.

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.
