Essence of Tranquility

Don’t stay here, dirty, disappointing, and tubs not available from 5pm to 9. The sign says 6:30 to 8:30, but owner asked overnite guests not to used tubs starting at 5pm, so locals can use.
I thought I would have time to use tubs but they were reserved. By 9pm it was freezing, and the tubs were not warm enough. The ‘room’ I rented was a vinyl shed, like I have in my backyard for my lawnmower. The heater was inadequate to heat the shed, the blankets and pillows were from the 1950s, stained, and were not adequate for the weather. For $ 60.00/night, it was overpriced. No WiFi access, TV did not work, couldn’t use the tubs at convenient times. (website lists unit 16 and 18 incorrectly.) Not worth it to stay here.

This place is worth the five starts I gave it and here’s why.
I was told about EOT about a year ago from a Portal local. «A true peaceful place in the middle of the desert in an oasis setting –some of the Mesquite Trees are hundreds of years old — where you can have your private hot tub for only $ 10/​day and free internet!!!» I had been postponing my first visit thinking it was too good to be true but I finally made it last week and ended up spending few days instead of an afternoon… It’s one of those place fellow soakers tell you to keep for yourself of it may get too crowded… I was told exactly that 3 times while I was there and I can see why now.
First the EOT owner, Clarice, was very kind to me. I asked her about the possibility to bring my lab on a campsite and she answered that I could not only do that but that I could also take her to the private tubs as long as I had her on a leash. Wow… Now, at this point, if you wonder about cleanliness, the crew cleans all the tubs and private areas on a regular basis and the water is ABSOLUTELY CLEAR. Meaning no floaties on the water or goup along the tubs walls. And, ohh!!! the water feels perfect!
Camping is the inexpensive option at $ 15/​day. The price includes:
* Internet — fast that is
* Clean communal kitchen — with fridge/​freezer space — and living room and showers and bathrooms
* Great outdoor patio space with a view of Mt-​Graham — which makes it for unique office!!!
* Private tubs of your choice — on first come first serve basis
* Bound to meet great people if you chose to connect
I love and enjoyed every bit of my stay and I won’t miss a chance to go back at every opportunity.

If you’re looking for the spa at the Hilton, this ain’t it. But if you’re in Safford on vacation, your probably going to like this place. Kind of campy and querky but in a god way. Several hot tub areas to chose from. Nice garden, cute gift shop and courteous professional staff. The price is right too. Give it a try

I love this place! Quiet and quirky. The springs are wonderful and relaxing and I just can’t get enough of them. Came down for a night for a friends birthday and had an amazing time. All the cabins were sold out so we camped (still lots of fun) and I can’t wait to do a cabin next! Great affordable getaway. Owner and on-​site caretaker were hospitable and friendly. One of my new favorite spots in AZ!
