Nestled among the pines of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, The Bunkhouse at Juniper Hill offers an authentic mountain retreat — where rustic charm meets the comfort you deserve after a day on the trail.
Our Story
The Bunkhouse at Juniper Hill sits on County Road 2012, high among the pines of east-central Arizona — far enough from the grid to hear yourself think, close enough to towns like Pinetop and Lakeside for supplies and adventure.
We opened these doors for travelers who want more than a parking spot and a sleeping bag. Whether you're here for a weekend of hiking, a family reunion, or simply a night under a sky full of stars, we've made sure the place feels like home — just with better air.
The Experience
Every detail is thoughtfully placed to help you disconnect from the ordinary and reconnect with what matters — the sound of wind through juniper, the warmth of a fire, the company of people who matter.
Hike, mountain bike, or horseback ride through some of the most scenic forest land in Arizona — all from our doorstep. The White Mountain Trail system is yours to explore.
There's something irreplaceable about a fire on a mountain night. Gather around, share stories, and watch the Milky Way stretch across the sky above Nutrioso.
Clean rooms, fresh linens, and all the amenities you need — without the hotel routine. We keep it simple so you can focus on the experience, not the extras.
