First and foremost, read about Shash Dine. It is not a Sedona style resort. It is a very specific experience and you should set your expectations accordingly. It isn't really glamping, and it isn't camping. No electricity and no running water. Ok, now that that's out there we can get started. We didn't know what to expect other than what I said above. We only stayed for two nights in the Hogan. We were pleasantly surprised and loved it. Here is what we did wrong. We treated it like a regular hotel and sort of made plans to go do stuff out and about and then return to Shash Dine to sleep. The first night we realized the error in that and corrected. We did go to the Grand Canyon for the morning, as well as the Navajo Bridge and Cathedral Wash trail, but we made sure to be back to Shash Dine with a simple dinner so that we could walk to grounds at sunset. That is the move. Do your AZ national park thing, but make sure to build in time to enjoy the Shash Dine grounds. It feels like you've been invited to someone's home and that home is an amazing and beautiful swath of land... and, honestly, that is basically what it is, especially if you stay in the Hogan. Breakfast is just something to get you going, but it is an awesome area where you tend to meet and chat with the other guests. We also had a chance to chat with Baya and Paul which was awesome. We would definitely return, this time more prepared. We would also recommend it to almost anyone (we all have those friends that are too precious). We didn't do it on purpose, but we were there on a full moon. I am sure a new moon would be cool too with all the stars, but the full moon was insane. Seeing the high desert lit by moonlight is something else. You are pretty much provided with what you need. Things we had but were provided but were nice to have: flashlights, big waters, slip in shoes, camping/outdoor friendly soap.

We loved the area and the whole concept. The bedding in the sheep wagon was wonderfully comfortable and it was easy to get to the facilities at night. I think this would have been a fantastic experience if the weather had cooperated. But high winds and rain prevented us from spending the evening around a fire with the other guests at the outdoor gathering spot, so we were essentially confined to our quarters. The wind was whipping through the cracks in the wood of our restored sheep wagon, so it was also too cold in there to do anything but burrow under the covers. And since there is no eating or drinking in the wagon, our evening was altogether a rather limited one.

I was a bit surprised by the meagerness of the breakfast beverages. We were among the earlier people there, and yet the one thermos of Navajo tea was already empty, and we got the last of the coffee.

We stayed about 8 nights in Arizona and Utah to visit the national parks, and I can say that this accommodation was the most unique and interesting in which we stayed. It is an experience which must be tried. We also had a lunch served by a local and it was very good.

There is no electricity (but there is lighting from solar panels) and internet (but there is signal on the mobile phone). However, we enjoyed the view and we didn't feel the need to use internet. The light was enough for 3-4h in order to finish a board game before sleeping.

We had one night here to see Antelope Caynon. Perfect spot to watch the stars. the beds were comfortable and the tents were very nice. Shared showers had warm water even in the morning and despite only 2 ‘restrooms’ that weren’t a problem. Everything was include so no need to bring sleeping backs or anything.

A cooler for drinks etc in the tents would have been great (we ended up buying one) and a (shared) dining table would also have been appreciated. Alcohol is not allowed.

This is a very special spot on sacred Navajo land where we would otherwise have been unable to stay. Our host, Paul, was extremely welcoming upon our arrival and nicely communicative during our 2-night stay.

There’s nothing not to like as long as visitors read all of the info ahead of time and come prepared for high-end “glamping.” The Jotul fireplace was easy to use and worked like a charm with the lovely mesquite wood that was provided to make the place toasty during the frosty nights and we opted not to take “navy showers” during the cold mornings.

It was a bliss to spend a night at Paul and Baja’s Shash Dine EcoRetreat! We loved everything, starting with meeting Paul and the nice chat we had with him, to the beauty of the place. We stayed in the tent as a family of 4, beds very comfortable, as the pillows. Soft sheets and warm and comfy duvet. A million stars above us and a nice awakening with sunrise and cowboy coffee. Also very conveniently located if you are booked for an early morning visit to Antelope Canyon.

We stayed in a traditional Navajo hogan. The experience was amazing - set off grid a few miles out of Page. We had a traditional wood burning stove and the beds were so comfortable and cozy. Breakfast was served outside by a massive communal fire pit with traditional Navajo tea.

This experience isn’t for everyone - this isn’t 5* accommodation - this is a traditional Navajo home. Baya, our host lived in the hogen until she was six with her parents and grandparents. For us this made it extra special and a spiritual experience we’ll never forget.

The quiet area and surroundings enhance your whole being to take a breath and slow down. It's a different place you just have to be present with family or just yourself. I would recommend to everyone if you have the chance to go and enjoy this wonderful place you won't be sorry.

It was hot when we arrived we had cold water in cooler in our car. May be good to have cold water available when its so hot. Our tent did cool off when we opened it up.

We stayed in one of the tents at Shash Dine' EcoRetreat, it was amazing. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. All of the facilities are great, the hosts really attentive, the breakfast fantastic, and the views from the top of the hill overlooking the site breathtaking. The location is fantastic, in the middle of a wide and arid farm (the sheep do not invade, they are controlled by some lovely dogs!) It is a great base to travel by car during the day to all the amazing places around the area.

Nothing negative at all.

The location is great. It is close to attractions like Horseshoe Bend & Antelope canyons, city of Page, but at the same time you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. The night sky was amazing. Full of stars. It is definitely worth spending some time outside to enjoy the beauty of nature. There is a short hike you can do to enjoy fascinating views of surroundings. We also ordered a dinner to be brought to us. It was actually pretty good & homemade, and the portions were huge, one would be enough for two :)
