Adorable two-bedroom, solar-powered cottage in Oak Creek Canyon, just steps away from a PRIVATE stretch of Oak Creek and 15 minutes drive from the town of Sedona with high-speed STARLINK internet. Well-behaved pets (furry family members) are welcome. 30 day rental required. Oak Creek Canyon Cottage is a 1960s bungalow located in lower Oak Creek Canyon, one mile south of Slide Rock State Park on highway 89A and 5 miles north of downtown Sedona. Because it is located in a lightly forested section of Oak Creek Canyon at 5000 feet in elevation, the cottage is a lovely, mild spot in which to spend the winter, and a shady, cool spot to beat the heat in the summer. Oak Creek itself is just across the street, so you can take a folding chair down to sit on the banks and enjoy the water, fish and birds. The cottage is furnished with a queen bed, a full XL (long) bed, a cot you can use in the living area, and is decorated with eclectic art, featuring regional artists. Internet service is provided to the cottage by STARLINK and supports video streaming and remote work. There is a small, but fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a back deck where you can eat outside or hang out and watch the humming birds. Other amenities include laundry facilities and a new tub/shower, yard games, and a BBQ grill. The garden is filled with fragrant flowers in the spring and summer and offers a variety of fruit bearing trees in the late summer and fall. There is a hiking trail (Sterling Pass) just a quarter mile from the house, and many, many more hikes in the nearby area. This is a wonderful place to use as a base to explore all that Northern Arizona has to offer: it is 40 minutes to Flagstaff, 1 hour to Jerome, and 2 hours to the Grand Canyon, just to mention just a few of the fantastic destinations within easy driving distance. Note: Because of the house's location, there is some road noise during the day --- but it is very peaceful at night when the day visitors go home!

    Very quiet cul de sac location 6 miles up 89A from Sedona in the Oak Creek Canyon. Towering mountains surround the property. Two good sized bedrooms, large deck, a bath and a half, friendly neighbors. Dog friendly with a fenced back yard. Highly recommend.

    I wanted a place in Sedona but away from the hustle & bustle of Sedona proper. This definitely fit the bill. Except for 2 nights it was only me & my little dog. The cottage is small, but well maintained. Communications with the owner were great plus the neighbors were friendly & helpful. Trips to the grocery store, etc. took about 15 minutes but with such beautiful scenery the drive was a pleasure.

    I spent a month here and experienced all sorts of weather including snow and cold temperatures. In spite of having to stay in place, we had everything we needed including TV, DVDs, games and fantastic views to look at. The cottage was equipped with all the necessities we needed. It’s a great place to stay while visiting this beautiful area of Arizona and is close to all the sights.

    This was such a pleasant, calm, easy stay. The property is charming & nurturing. And the view - it is just impossible to be so close and see the gorgeous red rock cliff, hear the creek, and feel anything but grounded, peaceful. The cottage is fully equipped and so cozy. I completely enjoyed cooking, walking, visiting the neighbors & their dogs. I work remotely and Alice set up a small desk with monitor / keyboard / mouse for me. I put it next to the gas fireplace & stared out at the red rocks while I worked. The location is perfect - just outside the bustle of town, but so close it’s easy to do errands and reach all the trails. I fully recommend this place and lovely hosts for a calming getaway.

    Alice & Larry's house is located in a perfect little gated neighborhood with a great view up the side of the canyon. Most of the time we seemed to be practically the only ones around other than frequent visits from foraging deer. The neighbors we did bump into seemed quite friendly. There's access to the creek across the road, and a cafe with a great back patio a couple miles down the highway. There was some traffic noise from Highway 89A during certain times of the day, but the nights were relatively quiet. The house was just about right for two adults and two cats. Being from Phoenix, we all loved having the windows open for cool breezes mornings and evenings in August. And we were blessed with some rain on almost every day we were there. Alice & Larry were very accommodating and helpful. I suppose the biggest compliment we can give regarding our overall experience is to say that we're re-booking for next year!

    This cottage fit our needs perfectly. Our dog appreciated the fenced in yard and we loved the deck Waking up in the morning to red rock views, starlit skies at night, easy access to all things Sedona and friendly neighbors with helpful hints added to a wonderful month we will long remember as a special time in our lives.
