Happy Shack – the perfect name for the perfect getaway. “Wow” is the first thing that comes to mind when approaching this luxurious retreat from the routine. This place is stunning – and just a short drive from Phoenix! It’s a cozy and gorgeous A-frame cabin, but so much more. While cozy, it’s actually really big! When we arrived, we were greeted with Happy Shack personalized wine and an adorable S’mores set. So thoughtful! The cabin is so tidy and stylish, and the details really impressed me … they are incredible! There’s a super-cute coffee bar area, so many fun games to choose from, a cool dining table area and a large TV above the fireplace to enjoy a movie. The beds are so comfy, the linens are beautiful (I’m still thinking about those fluffy white luxe towels!), and the bathrooms are so cute – the hosts even provide toiletries! The mornings were cool and perfect, and it was so amazing to gently wake to the sounds of the native birds in the pine trees. And where to start on the outside – it’s perfection! A huge wraparound patio is where we ate most of our meals. There’s also a cool custom firepit with Adirondack chairs surrounding it that we took full advantage of – S’mores, anyone? We also lazed on the hammocks surrounding the property, which is so perfect and peaceful. We enjoyed long quiet walks in the mornings and fun activities in the afternoons – like ax throwing and archery! Finally, we took the kayaks generously provided by the hosts to C.C. Cragin (Blue Ridge) Reservoir, which was only 20 minutes away, and had the best time on the water! As for service, the manager of Happy Shack is super-responsive and helpful. I cannot say enough good things about this cool place that I am now officially in love with…
What an experience the hosts provide! This place is fantastic – the perfect secluded getaway that I definitely will return to soon!
