Basecamp at Snowbowl — Hotel in Four Corners States

tl;dr - I recommend Basecamp at Snowbowl as a no frills, just-right option for folks that want a comfy room with great food (dinner only) and close proximity to Snowbowl. Great location, great staff, great food, good price. Bring a cooler and earplugs and find breakfast elsewhere.

I stayed Basecamp late-February 2024 for two nights - a Monday and Tuesday

Pros: The room was clean and super comfy.

You are amazingly close to the mountain - 16 minutes to the lifts.

The check-in process, and the process to get your lift passes was very smooth and the staff was super helpful (thanks, Cameron for all the information about the mountain and helping get me squared away on the promo codes!).

The Restaurant is fantastic - 5 ⭐s. The Arizona Cheesesteak and Cowboy Burger were both great after a day on the hill. It was a super chill environment to round out the day (thanks, Shea for the hospitality and the information about the upper bowl!).

The room cost + lift ticket is a great deal. Prices surge on the mountain and to have package that allows to get a "free" pass is great. Apply your promo code to your card (See Cameron above☝️) when you purchase it and you are good to go.

Cons: There is no fridge in the room. Plan ahead and bring a cooler with you for keeping any food/drinks cold. (Side note: Basecamp, please offer a breakfast food/coffee option for folks going up the hill. That would be amazing!)

The walls are thin. You share a wall with the cabin next to you. Sometimes that means you need to listen to the dude next to you snore and depending on which room you get you might be along a road. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs.

The gas fireplace in the room was pretty loud. When it kicked on/off it would clank and wake me up. Again, if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs.

A ways away from Flagstaff city center if that's your thing. Between the restaurant and the Maverick station 5 minutes up the road, I had...

I’ll be completely honest about this location. Some are gonna love it and some are gonna hate it. We stayed here because our friends had a wedding at a campsite about 15 miles north of this location. We didn’t ski, we didn’t snowboard. The cabins are outdated, thin walls and windows, it’s literally a place to sleep for 1 night after a long period of driving. We knew before we went there that there was no fridge, microwave, or AC. But man, what an inconvenience it is without any of that stuff. We figured we’d be ok without any of that but when you have leftovers from a restaurant and you don’t want to waste money and throw it away, you want to take it back and heat it up later for dinner or a snack, whatever, you can’t do that…the cabin we stayed in faced west, meaning the sun is beaming into our window around 3pm-6pm. The window acted as a magnifying glass and made the whole cabin a sauna with the temps raising up to 85 degrees!! With NO AC!!! The shower was made for very small people. I looked like buddy the elf showering in the North Pole!! I’m 6’2”! The shower head was chest high for me, So uncomfortable! Also, getting out the shower was dangerous! My wife almost fell and got injured! With no warning from the cabins! Also, I went to get a beer from the restaurant at 9:03 not knowing they closed at 9pm. The guy cleaning the tables outside said “yeah the bar is still open” and I went in and some dude says “we’re closed” and I said “well the guy outside said I could get a quick beer” and the guy was like “ok..well it’s 9…” so I walked out. Way to turn away a quick $6 with a tip! Save your time and money, stay in Flagstaff and enjoy the hospitality from the town! We’re never...

We were fortunate enough to be treated to a overnight trip to Snowbowl in the summer to spend time with our daughter and grandson. We have been to many hotels and motels; in contrast, this was a haven in the peaceful woods, rustic and quiet. We found it sufficient and quaint, no frills but comfy. The staff was efficient and friendly, willing to help in any way. Our cabin was not much smaller than a regular motel room. It was well equipped and stocked with basic necessities. I found it was clean with no odors. It was maintained well, except for the gap in the door closing; I'd suggest a good weather stripping to keep out summertime bugs and heat, and cold air in the cold winters. The beds were firm and comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed my sleep. Much to our surprise it has a small wood stove that I imagine adds to the ambiance in winter time. In addition to that, outside allows for a leisurely walk in the woods. There's a really nice picnic and recreation area, containing big Jenga blocks, a tetherball pole, a ground checkers game, a Ladder ball set enjoyed by adults and kids. There has allowance for dogs, too. The restaurant has breakfast treats but no service. We had a nice dinner, with a nice little full bar. It was Wednesday night and they had all in the room to play Trivia, it was joint fun. We were happy...
