happy national parks week 🌲🛶⛺️🫶🏻 there’s been a l happy national parks week 🌲🛶⛺️🫶🏻

there’s been a lot going on in the past year that has harmed the national parks, from cutting funding/staffing to talks of building roads to bulldozing some of our most beautiful land.

📍the flagstaff retreat by @chillinthepines 

this place is absolutely insane & needs to be on your radar for family reunions, group trips, bachelor parties, etc as it sleeps over 20 people and it’s doggie friendly 🐾

here’s what makes it so cool:

🎣 private fishing pond
🏀 basketball, volleyball, & pickleball court 
♨️ hot tub & sauna & firepits
🎯 games like pool, ping pong, cornhole, etc
🧗 a rock climbing wall
⛳️ golf simulator 
🎥 movie theatre
🍔 massive outdoor kitchen & living spaces
🏔️ views of pine trees, wildlife, & humphrey’s peak
🏎️ optional can-am rental 

not only that, but it’s only a few minutes away from snowbowl road so it’s perfect for leaf peeping, winter ski getaways, & escaping the heat! 🎿

we went with our dogs & our college besties & had the most fun & relaxing weekend that we all needed so much (hosted) ❤️ 

tag the people you want to organize a trip with 👇🏼 & comment “stay” for the booking link!
