Dead Broke Inn - Young, Arizona

This place is incredible! It’s not high tech or ultra modern. But who would expect that in the middle of nowhere?

It is wonderfully decorated! The interior ceilings in my room were the old, decorated tin ceilings. The entire interior is covered in old reclaimed lumber.

The beds are very soft and the design is very reminiscent of the old west.

The bunkhouse we stayed in is new (review posted June 2024) The proprietors are clearly putting a great deal of work into it and I imagine it will continue to improve with time. Regardless, it’s still great now!

They are so kind. When they learned the only other restaurant in town was closed they offered to make us dinner!

And we accepted!

It was amazing! Not only restaurant quality, but HIGH QUALITY restaurant quality! I’ve never had meatloaf that good before and they gave us a ton!

I can’t imagine having anything negative to say about these people or their business. I’m sure there are other good places in Young to stay but I plan on staying here next time I return.

Thank you Heidi and Kenny!

Wonderful property. Wonderful people.

Love this place!! The owners are delightful (and have a big heart doe animals, which means a ton to me). It was perfect for what we qanted: winding down between 2 big backpacking trips. We were so happy to have a spacious kitchen and living area, great shower, and the owners even did laundry for us for a reasonable price. That gave us more time to relax instead of being in a laundromat. Young is a fantastic location, nestled between extraordinary wilderness with incredible trails and outdoor opportunities. The owners plan to have a restaurant, so we look forward to our next visit!!

We had an off-road group with approximately 20 plus people stay here for 2 nights on Memorial Day weekend. The owners Kenny and Heidi are amazing. They take care of everything want to make your stay perfect. They also prepare 5 Star quality meals. They have many activities for all ages. A saloon with pool table. They also have a custom made shooting gallery. ||||If're looking for a place to stay in Young with a large group, I strongly suggest the Deadbroke Inn. Plenty of secure parking for your cars and even has room for trucks and trailers if this is your staging point.||||This place is still making improvements as it is under new ownership. This place has character a super fun. If you're looking for a five-star, this place isn't for you. It is clean and comfortable though and very welcoming.||||Will definitely be going back in the future. Looking forward to it.

My Partner and I just stayed at the Deadbroke Inn in Pleasant Valley toward the end of April. From our first arrival in Pleasant Valley, and upon being greeted in the driveway by our wonderful hosts, Karla and Robin, we knew we had stumbled upon something special. The property is the result of a great deal of creativity, vision, and hard work on the part of Karla and Robin, and it is both fun and whimsical, and very comfortable and peaceful. The Saloon, and it's large sleeping capacity, presents guests with all kinds of fun possibilities. We envisioned returning with a small group of friends and having a party in the saloon, and shooting pool, etc... The place is equally well suited to a quiet romantic getaway for two. We felt tremendously well looked after by Karla and Robin, and now consider them to be good friends. They are so open and generous of spirt, but also completely respectful of one's privacy as a guest. This place truly unique, and is an absolute treasure, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Hosts Robin and Karla are beyond hospitable! We stayed in the Saloon/Guesthouse and it was cozy, unique and charming. Robin took us on a tour out in the mountains, taught us (or tried to) how to rope, gave us a tour of some historic buildings they're restoring and filled us in on so much Young/Pleasant Valley history. And you can tell they do what they do because they love it!
Definitely a one of a kind experience you can't pass up!

What an amazing place. I called last minute to book a room and was told they only had the big room with the salon available and we just need a place for the night. Such an great experience and the staff was beyond help-full. In the morning they walked us across the street to show us the museum.

Sure hope to be back one day!

The Deadbroke Inn is one of those places where the website just doesn't live up to the experience. I mean simply that it speaks to the incredibly wonderful time my wife & I have each time we return to visit Robin & Karla's oasis from the madness of the big city. A treasure trove of history, recreational opportunities & destinations and just the plain ole down home hospitality those of us originally from more rural parts crave after years of making pace with the rat race of urban living. Your hosts couldn't be more accommodating and the rooms speak to a charm of days yore....I honestly can't remember staying that approaches the level of experience. All I can say is I hope not too many folks find this lil paradise far from the city lights nestled in Pleasant Valley beneath the shadow of the rugged Sierra Ancho Mountains!

Would not stay here again. I had originally booked the cabin but without my
Knowledge the owner Heidi put us in the bunk house. The bunkhouse does not have a shower inside, you have to walk to the shower house which is outside. The carpet is disgusting, has huge stains all over. I would not recommend walking inside the bunkhouse barefoot. Definitely not worth the $300. Not to mention the stove does not work and it smelled of propane. Fix your propane leak before allowing guests to stay there.
