The days are getting warmer and nature is preparing to paint Pinetop-Lakeside in beautiful spring colors. So grab a light sweater and head out to explore this month's spotlight businesses.
Where to Stay

Lazy Oaks Resort is nestled in the trees along Rainbow Lake. Cabins are available in 1 and 2 bedroom layouts with full kitchens. And while the cabins are inviting and cozy, you are sure to find yourself enjoying the outdoors on this beautiful 3.5 acre property offering boat rentals, a horseshoe pit, and 3 fire pits.

Where to Eat

If you come to Pinetop-Lakeside to enjoy the outdoors, then a delicious meal on the patio at The Bistro at Annie's is an absolute must. (If eating outside isn't your thing, they have plenty of indoor seating as well.) They offer lunch and dinner. We love their salads and their famous cheese puffs. You can check their Facebook page for special events like live music.

Where to Shop

The Burly Bear is a unique store specializing in lodge furniture, Unique wildlife art, custom carvings, rustic lighting, and mountain gifts. They have an on-site chainsaw carver who designs and carves custom carvings at their store or at your home. Looking for a souvenir? The whole family will be able to find something special to help remember their fun trip to Pinetop-Lakeside.

Something Fun To Do

Over the river river and through the woods... is so much more fun when you are on horseback. Porter Mountain Stables offers rides that will take you through creeks, along the side of the lake and through the breath taking scenery of the Apache Sitgreaves forest. If you really want to experience some breathtaking scenery, try a sunset ride.
