Flagstaff, Arizona
Nestled deep in cool Coconino National Forest between the Grand Canyon (56 miles) and Flagstaff's Snow Bowl (19 miles). You choose whether to nest in the cozy cottage or explore the adjacent woods and trails.
Hunters will be in AZ Fish and Game Unit 7E. November, December and January generally closed due to snow. If you can independently handle bad roads and lots of snow, inquire about desired dates.
Home is off the grid: electric power comes from solar panels, propane for cooking and heating. The rain water collected for washing and flushing is non-potable. Drinking water is stocked. AT&T and Verizon users get a signal . . . but you can always turn your phone off. There is secure WiFi.
You'll need a sturdy vehicle (pickup or 4 wheel drive recommended) to travel the seven miles of dirt road. The drive is slow but provides lovely vistas and opportunities to spot deer, elk and antelope.
Sleeps up to 6: 1 queen bed, bunk beds, futon and hide-a-bed in the couch. Linens and cookware are provided.
Don't trust "What's Nearby" Google often directs guests to a similarly named street inside the City of Flagstaff.
Just where we needed to be ! Quiet and in the woods!
Wonderful cabin in a perfect location. All directions were easy to follow, and owner/manager was extremely helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend booking this cabin and can't wait to book it again when I draw another deer tag.
If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the place. Remote AND off the grid, this is exactly what we were looking for. Linda was very responsive if we had questions. Neat, clean, well stocked with good quality kitchen assessories as well as the best linens for the bathroom and bedrooms. No problems with the electric, plenty of water and we were warm. So interesting how everything worked. Lots of good walking and hiking areas. Plenty of movies, games and horseshoes in the backyard. You get exactly how this sweet gem is described. We didn't want to leave and our Lab, Annabelle, didn't want to either.
Home was nestled in the woods about 6 miles from 180. It is conveniently located between Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon and quite close to the Lava Cave. Home is well furnished and owner is extremely responsive to all questions. The owner also provided a very thorough set of instructions and suggested fun local activities. If you are looking for a quiet and scenic location that has reasonable access to the Canyon I would highly recommend. Only downside we had during our stay is the power kept going off (I believe it was due to high winds and things being dependent on solar power). Regardless, the owner left detailed instructions on how to trip the inverter and it worked everytime - just a bit annoying.
We loved the property size and location. So quiet in the neighborhood, except for the dogs off in the distance howling every morning like clock work. We didn’t mind though. It was nice opening the windows and watching the storms roll through. Nice eating out on the patio. Solar panels for electricity was an adjustment for us, but our host was very responsive and clear on instructions for starting the generator. Beautiful view of Humphreys peak. Long dirt drive from the main road, but was well maintained and had beautiful views and occasional wildlife. Would most definitely stay again in the future! Thank you Linda for all of your communication before and throughout our stay.
Linda's place is just what we were looking for- as quiet as anyplace I've ever been, surrounded by beautiful nature and places to walk and hike, comfortable facilities just as described with lots of amenities. Her binder of information covers anything you could possibly have a question about. We ended our 5 days happy, relaxed and looking forward to going back again!
We enjoyed the cabin. It was a nice cabin. I am not sure if we were the first to stay for the season, but it had not been swept in the bedrooms and the shower was full of cobwebs. After taking care of those, we had a great time playing horseshoes and other games when we got back to the cabin. I may have not read the property description close enough but you do have to worry about water and electricity consumption. For me, that was a little stressful but everything worked out and we had fun. Thank you Linda for allowing us to stay!!
This cottage is exactly what anyone could want to unplug from society and have some quiet time with nature. The cottage itself has everything for basic comforts you could need, and Linda provides a very detailed manual on how to operate the ins and outs of the cottage very easily. I’m very happy with this stay and I cannot wait to come back.
Staying at this location was an amazing experience! The views were phenomenal and the cabin was cozy. The host made our experience very comfortable and was available if needed. We would definitely come back again!
If you want to stay off the beaten path this is the spot for you. The cottage was devine and I have never felt so welcome by a host. The host left a smore kit and an fairy garden kit for my kids to enjoy. Property was clean, updated, quiet and just amazing and I wish my travel plans afforded more time. This property does run on solar power and rain water, host does give more portable water then you could drink. But as a Midwest girl it really put things in perspective of all the things I take for granted. You do need a sturdy vehicle to get down the dirt road. On the way you will see so many animals and wonderful views of the mountains. Google will try to give you shortcuts on mountain passages, I would not recommend those roads, unless really adventurous with 4 wheel drive, but take the main directions in and out. The host gives great directions and is easy to contact. We had five bars and excellent phone service with Verizon, if you have a teenager as I do, you know the story, but we connected as a family. Also you are in the national park, if I had more time I would of hiked for days! Also just an hour away from grand canyon, we did a day trip to the park and this property was perfect instead of paying for an overpriced hotel! Go, book!
My husband and I stayed for our 27th wedding anniversary. With it being Memorial Day weekend we wanted something
Amazing place. Beautiful stay
Linda super fun to communicate with...FYI closest Starbucks is 23 miles away in Flagstaff! This wonderful place was exactly what we wanted. Very quiet, remote and peaceful (except for the coyotes that wake you in the morning!). We LOVED it! Perfect location to a lot of hikes including the forest roads right behind the house. House well-stocked. Had everything you need AND very very clean! If you are looking for a nice place to get away from a hectic life...THIS is it! Enjoy the following...Aspen Corner hike, Lake Bismarck hike, Walker Lake rim hike and Red Mtn hike. Don't forget to get a 4-wheel drive jeep and explore all the forest roads. Linda has a good paper map at the house. We fully intend to go back again...can't wait. GREAT area AND house!!!
Loved my stay in this quaint little cabin. Nice and mostly secluded, with beautiful views!
Stunning views of San Francisco Peaks. Grand Canyon is about 90 mins away. Very windy most days, which I learned is typical of Spring in N Arizona. We saw a large herd of elk, heard coyotes for several nights, and were delighted by cottontail bunnies hopping about.
