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.
