Getting here
Close enough for a weekend.
Pinetop-Lakeside sits at about 7,000 feet in Arizona’s White Mountains, cool and green when the Valley is at its hottest. The cabin is centrally located between Show Low and Pinetop, so restaurants, groceries and shops are all within a 10-minute drive.
Approximate drive times. Mountain roads can be slower in winter, so check conditions before you go.
