Shash Dine' EcoRetreat

I am grateful for the opportunity to stay in a traditional Navajo hogan. Though considered rustic by some, staying here was not a sacrifice at all; it was a gift. The hogan itself was very beautiful and very well built. Inside, it was perfectly quiet, even with a wind blowing outside, as is usually the case with earthen homes. The surrounding scenery was gorgeous, as you are able to see beginnings of the Grand Canyon. I took advantage of the walking trail that skirts the perimeter of the property, and felt like the only person on the whole planet. In meeting and talking with Paul and Baya, I found they were both very friendly and easy to talk to. I am glad I got to know them a little bit, and chat. If I'm ever in the Page area again, I would definitely stay at the Shash Dine hogan.

This place was absolutely wonderful! We booked through a travel agency app, but due to an app error, we didn't receive contact from the owner. We were supposed to check in by 6 PM, but we ended up arriving around 7 PM. Despite that, the owner kindly guided us to our tent and explained all the rules. There was no electricity in the tent, but a lovely lamp was provided. Most importantly, the interior design was so stylish, it almost made us forget we were in the middle of the Navajo Nation! But one look outside, and the stunning Navajo landscape immediately captivated us. It was dry and windy that day, so cooking was prohibited due to fire restrictions, but we enjoyed some sliced tomatoes with cheese. The showers and toilets were clean and easy to use, though the toilet was a bit far from the tent. At night, the stars were incredibly beautiful, and the sunrise was equally stunning. Then, at 7 AM, the owner prepared Navajo tea, cowboy coffee, and a simple breakfast for us. We learned how to say "good morning" and "thank you" in Navajo, and when we told the owner, they smiled. We still use those words at home, that's how great our stay was! Ahehee' (Thank you), Nízhónígo (Beautifully).

We were looking for an alternative to the standard, uninspiring hotel options in Page – and we found it at Shash Dine EcoRetreat. This place offers a truly unique and authentic experience that was perfect for our one-night stay while visiting both the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons. We stayed in two bell tents – one with a king-size bed and one with two queen-size beds. The tents are set in the middle of the desert, which makes for incredible stargazing at night. While there are no showers or restrooms inside the tents, this was no issue at all and simply part of the charm of staying off-grid. Breakfast is included, and it’s also possible to pre-order dinner, which we believe is prepared by a neighbor and arranged by the very sweet and accommodating hosts. Overall, a memorable and peaceful retreat that gave us exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for – something far more special than a generic hotel stay.

My wife and I stayed here recently, and it was nothing short of magical. The location is peaceful and beautifully remote — the kind of place where you can truly disconnect from the noise and reconnect with each other. One of the most unforgettable moments was stargazing at night. With no city lights around, the sky came alive. We lay back and watched a blanket of stars above us — something you just can’t experience in most places anymore. The cabin was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell the hosts put real care into every detail. And the complimentary breakfast in the morning? Simple, fresh, and exactly what we needed to start the day — not too heavy, but just right. This isn’t just a place to sleep. It’s an experience. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway where nature takes center stage, don’t think twice — book it. We’re already planning to come back.

Absolutely stunning property! The landscape is breathtaking, with sunrises and sunsets that feel like something out of a painting. Stargazers will be in heaven—the night sky is unbelievably clear and full of wonder. Our accommodations were cozy and incredibly comfortable, making for a peaceful night’s sleep. Paul and Baya are exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and full of local insight. We had a truly memorable stay and can’t wait to come back!

I stayed in one of the sheep wagons which was comfortable and perfect for just me. It was exactly as described and had enjoy blankets to keep you cool when the temperature drops at night. The showering facility was very clean and great to have while camping. The toilet facilities were kept clean. Breakfast was cereal bars, yogurt fresh fruit and an option of coffee or Navajo tea that the owners make themselves. Everyone was welcoming and kind and they provide you with lots of dining options in Page. It wasn’t the best weather for star gazing but I can imagine with the vast ranch how beautiful it would be on a clear night.

We loved our stay here in the Earth Hogan. The surroundings were beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. The stars and the views were amazing. All the facilities were very clean and cozy. My kids loved watching the sheep graze about. Hosts were super communicative. My only regret was not having more time there. Looking forward to returning again someday!

Unfortunately for us, we stayed here before staying with other "glamping" outfitters on our week-long trip and we were totally spoiled after this experience- these guys put glamping on a whole other level! |Stash Dine Eco-Retreat is AMAZING! The attention to detail is truly remarkable. We had one of the Bell Tents and one of the Wagons. Both were really nicely outfitted, with every amenity you could think of- candles/matches and a lantern, water and juice, towels and soap. The bedding was so cozy and comfortable. |We camp a lot, and the facilities here were the cleanest I have ever seen for being "rustic". And the cowboy coffee in the morning...hot and strong!|I cannot recommend this place enough, if you are looking for a quiet, off the beaten path, unique experience. And the hosts are friendly and so helpful. I can't wait to go back!

What it lacks for in electricity and running water it makes up for in authenticity, great views, and a cozy abode. We arrived just before sunset (as directed) so we could get settled before the night engulfed us. Greeted by the friendliest group of Great Pyrenees and our host, Baya, we were given a small tour of the land and area that would be our home for the night. The sun set quickly but luckily we came prepared with camping lights, and the hut we stayed in had a solar light as well as plenty of candles to create a warm ambiance for us to enjoy our dinner to. Guided by the soft lights around us we played a few games of crazy eights with the provided cards and eventually brought out our telescope to get a good look at the night sky. Being so far from civilization and light pollution we were able to see so many stars. Like really, more stars than we have ever seen, white milky way dust filtering the sky and draping us in the humbling experience of how small we are in this universe. After a perfect night's sleep we arose bright and early for a sunrise hike to the ridge at the edge of the property; from there we could see for miles and miles noticing Lake Powell, Horseshoe Bend, and the canyons that are an extension of the Grand Canyon. We hiked back to our hut where we were greeted with a homemade Navajo breakfast of blue corn porridge, honey, watermelon, and herbal tea. Taking in the traditions of another culture was a humbling experience. ALL IN ALL; this place is the perfect getaway and sleep spot if you're in the area. Baya was a sweet host and we loved the entire experience.

We loved our stay at Shash Dine. We stayed in the hogan / traditional Navajo style house made of logs and mud with a wood burning stove inside. It's so beautifully made and surprisingly spacious on the inside. It felt special to stay in such a unique structure that is very meaningful to the Navajo owner. We hiked up the ridge trail in the morning and we enjoyed it more than the Grand Canyon which was very crowded. Such amazing variety of views in just a short walk, and with no crowds of course. The morning camp fire was appreciated, as was the coffee and Navajo tea and breakfast. Highly recommended for a unique place to stay in an incredible setting. I also took a look inside the cube house and would like to stay there as well if l ever get the chance to return. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place with us.

HOLY WOW!!! My friend and I planned a last minute adventure and got lucky with being able to stay in one of the bell tents. We arrived at 4pm and I did get a little confused with the finding the mile sign but that was our fault. Baya & paul sent us directions that were pretty direct but if your not good with directions I can see how it may be difficult. Paul & Baya are very pleasant people, very kind and want to make sure you have the best stay possible. The bell tent: amazing! Really spacious especially since it was just the two of us. The blankets & sleeping bags they provided were perfect. It was a bit cold out but we slept more than fine. Inside they provided a few things and it was really sweet because they left a bunny pez candy (Easter weekend) and candles. The dogs hey have didn't bother us one bit, big love bugs. The property: BEAUTIFUL! Baya let us know we could adventure wherever we wanted. There is a porta potty. It was clean and did not smell. They provided us with bathing water. Note: this is a bird bath not a full on shower & it's a bucket of water. For us that was fine because we only stayed one night. ALSO! The stars at night are absolutely breathtaking! If you can get a couple photos (camera familiar people) take advantage. In the morning Baya brought us coffee & a traditional breakfast. Blue corn porridge! It was very yummy with fruit and honey also. We will be returning this summer when it's a little warmer and a little less windy. THANK YOU AGAIN PAUL & BAYA & little Bridgette ( sorry for the spelling if wrong) for letting us be your neighbors for the night. It was a very beautiful experience.

Boy oh boy! What a fantastic little slice of heaven!! I found out about this place on a whim and I'm so glad I did. My birthday was coming up and I thought this would be the perfect little weekend adventure. I put in my request for reservation on AirBnB and got a response very quickly! Everything from that point on was seamless and thorough. The directions to get there were flawless, follow them to a T and you will not get lost. Once we arrived we pulled in like it said to do and out came Baya to greet us. She asked us to follow her over to the tents, we did and when we arrived she was very detailed in explaining the grounds, land and how everything worked. The location is secluded, but keep in mind you are only 10-15 minutes from the town, which was extremely convenient. After our intro we were on our own and settled into camp. It was so wonderfully quiet there and the tent was exquisite! SO clean and organized. I loved everything about it. It was cozy and the beds were very comfortable. The blankets ridiculously soft. It got cold at night, but we were also given sleeping bags for each of us which was the perfect addition to stay nice and toasty. The tent is very spacious and could easily fit 4 people with room for belongings. Also, we ranged in height from 5'1" to 6'0" and had no complaints about the bed size/linens. My friend could stand up in the middle of the tent with ease. At night the wind was so strong and definitely blowing past the tent fiercely, but it held its own!! Great quality. The port-a-potty was clean, and the shower (I heard) was definitely a wild experience! We didn't use the fire pit, but another group staying there did and it smelled great! Haha. And the moon was shining SO bright the night we stayed there we didn't even have to use flashlights to get around. Incredible! We also decided that we wanted to watch the sun rise. In order to do this, we planned it all out, the time gets tricky up there because they're right on a time zone so we set three alarms to ensure we wouldn't miss it. Morning came and when the alarms went off we were so cozy and it was so chilly out we almost talked ourselves out of it. I hadn't even looked outside and made the comment that it's "probably overcast out", lol talk about a sleep brain! Once I opened the tent doors we clearly saw that it was not overcast and in fact was so beautiful out. We then quickly realized that the sun had already started coming up. We all jumped out of bed and basically... freaked out lol. We ran out, with flip flops on and just started running, then realized flip flops and a field full of cacti probably wasn't a good idea so we ran back to the tent to put on sneakers. Then ran back and forth another 10 times in a panic because we all had to pee, but for the love of god we just didn't have time!!! We screamed RUNNNN!!!! It's rising, it's rising!!! LOL. And off we went! Joining us on this hectic journey were 4 of Baya's dogs. OMG they were SO cute! Alas, we made it to the hill top and all of the chaos was definitely worth it. We saw the sun rise over the Grand Canyon and Utah in an array of glowing colors! AMAZING! Needless to say, after this trek we went back to the tent and fell back asleep. We were later greeted by Baya who brought us porridge, coffee and tea. She probably thought we were crazy for still being asleep, but she didn't know what journey we had just been on! Haha it was all just too much fun. I previously mentioned the time, and it is tricky because it kept switching on our phones and really proved confusing, especially if you have reservations (like we did for dinner) so I highly recommend you bring a regular watch along! Side note is that Horseshoe Bend is SO close to here, probably 5/10 minutes down the road so DEFinitely check it out while you're there. It's crazy cool. Any who, our trip was so memorable and I would stay here again in a heart beat! This is definitely glamping (in my opinion), as everything is set up for you and requires minimal effort so even if you're not into full on camping I highly suggest you try this alternative. You won't regret it. I promise!

I am so overdue for writing this but, our experience was incredible! It has been about a year and we still talk about it. We loved the peace, comfort, hospitality, and serene feeling. We originally went up to see Antelope Canyon, but next time we will be back just for the beauty & experience and hopefully explore the navajo traditions more.

Amazing! We had the greatest time at shash dine. Baya and Paul are great hosts. Upon out arrival, they greeted us and gave us a tour. We were even given a tour of their new Hogan, which was just great I think on our next stay we'll book one! We arrived early, before check-in time and instead of being turned away, we were checked in promptly. As first timers we had lots of questions, and both Baya and Paul were able to answer them and give us suggestions on places in the area that we could visit. Baya was kind enough to show us how to cook over the fire pit when she was us struggling. Our bell tent was awesome and equipped with everything we could need. It was a pretty cold night out but we were nice and warm all night. Lots of animals, sheep, chickens, horses and dogs. We even befriended their dog Elvis, he's huge but the kindest dog you'll ever meet. Our stay was simply amazing, we all wished we could have stayed longer, but we will definitely be back. Thanks Baya and Paul for everything!
