Eight units on the Navajo Nation near Page, Arizona: two hooghans, three canvas tents, a Kyoob cabin and two restored sheepherder wagons, on a working sheep ranch owned by a Navajo family. The property is fully off grid, with no electricity and no wifi, and no air conditioning at its elevation of 5,500 feet. The hooghans face east, following the orientation of traditional Navajo homes, and each has a wood-burning stove used for ceremony and warmth. No smoking, vaping or alcohol is allowed anywhere on the site.
Forbes reports the hooghans were built from juniper logs by a master craftsman and covered with mud or clay, and Arizona Highways reports the second hooghan was built of earth and juniper logs from the Bears Ears area of Utah by a family from Monument Valley. The hooghans have dirt floors, and washing is in a shared bathhouse with a two stall off grid hot water on demand shower. The Kyoob has large windows and, per a 2020 magazine report, no curtains. No fabric, bedding fibre or applied finish is specified.
All eight areas, for every record. Each row opens to what was published, where we read it and when.
Publishing something is not the same as it being good. Every line below was read and placed by a person, not scored by a machine. What each rung means
Named means the property published something you can look up: a brand, a product or a number. Stated means it says so with nothing behind it. Not published means we looked and found nothing, which is a gap in our reading and not an answer about the building.
The air in a closed room is what you breathe for eight hours. What decides it is the filter grade, the fresh air rate, and whether damp has ever been looked for.
We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.
You drink it, cook with it and stand under it. What is in it depends on the source and on what, if anything, filters it, and both are things a property can name.
The accommodations page states that every unit is supplied with fresh filtered drinking water, with no filter type, grade, brand or water source named.
