Lazy Oaks Resort

Lazy Oaks Resort sits on 3.5 acres along the shore of Rainbow Lake in Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona, deep in the White Mountains roughly three hours northeast of Phoenix. The property's 15 one- and two-bedroom cabins — each with a full kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, and lake views — sleep up to 71 guests, making it the only wedding venue in the White Mountains set upon a lake. Weddings and private events are hosted on the resort's large grass area beside the lake, which accommodates between 30 and 130 guests for outdoor ceremonies and receptions. Bistro lighting and tree uplighting are provided, along with power supply for outside vendors. Because the setting is entirely outdoors, couples bring in their own tables, chairs, catering, and entertainment to shape the weekend to their vision. Full resort buyout is required for wedding bookings, giving the host group exclusive use of the entire property. Beyond the event weekend, guests enjoy row boat rentals on Rainbow Lake, fishing for rainbow trout and bass, horseshoe pits, and fire pits throughout the property, extending the celebration across a true resort stay in the White Mountains.
