The Sunrise Room

At the top of the outside staircase you will find the Sunrise room on your left with the wood door.

You will definitely wake up on the sunny side in the Sunrise room! Both windows face east. One frames the Four Peaks Mountains. The other window captures the Superstition mountains including Red Rock, the Goldfields and Needle Rock. All these are the home of the Apache Thunder god and of the Legendary Lost Dutchman gold mine.

The bright yellow walls create a warm, sunny feeling. A King size homemade Four Poster Log bed adds to the sunny, comfortable decor.

We saw a bed just like this in Payson for $2,800. Wow! So we built one ourselves out of Alligator Juniper, pine and worm wood. It took 10 days and 3 chiropractic treatments to finish. With the help of three football players from Fountain Hills High we carried it upstairs where it shall ever remain.

Above the Log bed hangs the tanned hide of an elk harvested by daughter, Tiffany, when she was twelve years old.

On the south wall we have six framed antique prints of Blackfeet Indians. These are part of a mint condition collection owned by our family.

This lantern is a family heirloom. Tom's Grandfather, Nils John Moline (of the founding family of Moline, Illinois), used it to signal the trains of the Luce Line Railroad. There was no track switcher on the line so Nils had to go out every night and signal the trains.

You'll feel right at home with a refrigerator and coffeepot, complete private bath, television and telephone, the room is non-smoking with a high-speed wireless internet connection. You'll enjoy the views from the porch swing just outside your door.
