This Little Known Resort In Arizona Will Be Your New Favorite Summer Destination

When we think of resorts, often one of the first images that pops into most peoples’ heads is that of a luxurious place for spa treatments, gourmet food, and top notch amenities. Some, on the other hand, specialize in offering a more rustic experience where you can focus instead on enjoying the cool mountain air, hiking, and even just yourself. One such spot is the Lazy Oaks Resort, located in Pinetop-Lakeside.
