Originally established as Don Hoel's Cabins, Hoel Reserve has been thoughtfully repositioned as a distinctive boutique hotel and event destination while preserving the authenticity and individual character of its historic Oak Creek Canyon setting.
The resort includes 23 furnished and individually configured guest cabins ranging from intimate studios and historic cottages to authentic log cabins and larger one-, two- and three-bedroom, house-style accommodations. Rather than a conventional collection of identical hotel rooms, the cabins are distributed throughout the mature forest, creating privacy, individuality and an immersive sense of retreat.
Many cabins offer convenient drive-up parking & Electronic smart locks support streamlined self-check-in and efficient operations without the need for a traditional front desk or extensive full-time staffing. Updated accommodations incorporate modern guest conveniences while retaining their historic warmth and character. Features vary by cabin and include refreshed interiors and furnishings, climate control, televisions, kitchens or kitchenettes, fireplaces or wood-burning stoves, upgraded bedding and private outdoor seating areas.
The land itself is one of Hoel Reserve's most compelling attributes. The developed resort area sits beneath dramatic canyon walls and is surrounded by mature ponderosa pines, lush vegetation and natural rock formations. The property rises behind the cabins and event areas into heavily forested canyon terrain, where an onsite hiking path contributes to the guest experience and remarkable sense of privacy.
Hoel Reserve offers a highly functional destination-wedding and event platform with several distinct settings throughout the property. The central ceremony area features a landscaped lawn and ornate iron gazebo framed by mature trees and nearby historic cabins.
Cabin 20 serves as the bridal cottage near the ceremony lawn. It includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, fireplace and expansive covered front porch, providing generous preparation, gathering and photography space for the bridal party.
Cabin 21 serves as the groom's cottage near Rosewood Hall. It includes two bedrooms, a shared bathroom, kitchen, fireplace, game areas and a private fenced side yard suitable for relaxed outdoor gathering.
Rosewood Hall is a separate finished reception and gathering venue located farther south within the resort. Originally constructed as a three-car garage, it has been converted into flexible indoor event space with updated flooring, chandeliers, decorative lighting, drapery and roll-up doors providing convenient vendor access and adaptable indoor-outdoor use. Temporary tented space has previously been added outside the hall for a seasonal event, illustrating additional flexibility subject to applicable approvals.
A picturesque rustic outbuilding currently used for storage has become a popular backdrop for bridal portraits, wedding-party photographs and guest photo opportunities.
Additional improvements include a dedicated laundry building, garage space for utility vehicles, newer underground electrical infrastructure, property-wide Wi-Fi, improved internal roads and pathways, landscape and path lighting, an EV charging station and even an onsite wastewater treatment facility and newer well & pump house.
The property is well suited for weddings, retreats, reunions, corporate gatherings, wellness programs and full-property buyouts, allowing lodging and event revenue to be combined within one destination experience.
County approval and permits are in place for nine additional guest units, creating meaningful future key-count expansion potential.
The hotel and event venue are being offered separately from the adjoining Basecamp café, market, commercial kitchen, tour operation and creekside parcel through a proposed land division. As part of the contemplated division, the existing rear drive serving Cabins 21-23 and Rosewood Hall is envisioned as the primary entrance for the hotel and event-venue parcel, creating independent circulation from the adjoining Basecamp property. Seller is amenable to assist with seller financing for qualified buyers.
