“Welcomed reception for weary travelers”

Due to last minute emergencies at home, we left for our vacation a few hours later than expected. I had made our reservation with the Juniper Lodge early in July, but I still worried that our room would go to some other traveler, since I was not required to leave a deposit. Our cell phones were out of commission most of the time, so we couldn't call ahead.
When we arrived well after dark, all the signs were turned off, but there was a handwritten note on the door of the office (addressed to me) with instructions where to call. Before we could call, the proprieter arrived and checked us in. BRAVO! He had actually phoned our home to check on us, and found out we would be in late.
The room was surprisingly large, the beds comfortable, everything clean. It did not look like a cookie cutter motel room. This place is unique. Pine log furniture & colorful beds.
Try it, you'll like it.

  • Liked — The proprietor's consideration

“comfort and friendliness”

My 10 year old son and I were travelling from the Grand Canyon to Salt Lake City. We took the beautiful 89A route. Jet lag caught up with us and I needed to sleep-- no rooms along the scenic way. We were advised to travel to Kanab, but were lucky to find the Juniper Lodge earlier. Clean room with internet access and cable. $40/night. A perfect fit for what we needed.

“reservation unresponsive”

According to [---], Crazy Jug Motel became Juniper Lodge in 2007.

I went to the above website asking to availability and rate on July 7.
Got an email quote on July 8.
I called three times on July 9 and left two messages on the answer machine at [---].
I called twice on July 10, and sent an email telling the lodge that I’d like to make a reservation.
It’s July 11, I haven’t got any response to my email and messages.

I’ll have to look for another place.
With this kind of response (lack of!), how can one feel assured having a place to stay even if one gets a reservation!

“Best Mom & Pop north of the GC”

I first went to the Crazy Jug Motel in 2003. I was on my way to the Grand Canyon (north rim) after a side trip to Bryce Canyon and I was looking for a standard chain : Best Western Motel 6, Super 8, whatever. Of course, there wasn't anything like that in that area so I was "stuck" in Fredonia, the small-town with 4 motels. The first one I saw was rather scary, so was the second one. I somehow ended up at the Crazy Jug Motel. At first sight I thought it looked very rustic. Nothing wrong with that right?

The owner is a friendly "fella" who has one of the thickest accent I ever heard. He told me all about the other "mawtels in tawn" and quoted me a price (35$). I thought there was a trick so I asked to see the room. The room was larger than I thought and was sparkling clean. I took it.

The rooms have the kitchiest decor ever : there's a wolf on the wall with a cacti and the moon and the blanket on the bed has little roping cowboys on it. The table and chairs are made out of unfinished wood and they even put the television on a log!!! It really cracked me up. I even called my friend long distance to tell him all about it. However, despite the decor, it is one of the best deals since rooms near the GC tend to be overpriced. Fredonia is located less than 30 minutes from the GC's North Rim.

To this day I have been there twice and both times were pleasant experiences.
