Relaxing homebase for Williams, Grand Canyon, Bearizona, Flagstaff and Sedona

Welcome to The Gateway Cottage! Our beautiful privately owned upscale 1765 sf  "cottage" is situated on an acre of cool pines at above 7000' altitude in Northern Arizona, where you can slow down, take in the serenity of the forest and the clean, fresh air while the kids enjoy the swingset. In November, 2024, living room furniture was updated with a new sleeper sectional and matching chair, as well as a tv cabinet, bathroom vanity and light fixture. Our home is located just minutes east of Williams, "the Gateway to the Grand Canyon", where you will find plenty of shopping for most anything you need. The Deer Farm is under 10 minutes from our property, Bearizona and Canyon Coasters are 15 minutes away, as well as the Grand Canyon Railway/Polar Express. It's an easy 45 minute/60 mile drive to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, with Flagstaff 25 minutes and Sedona being an hour away, it makes this home a great central location!! Hunting and fishing, hiking and off road trails are all nearby. There are multiple lakes in the area: Kaibab, Dogtown, Cataract, Whitehorse, and Buckskinner Park to name a few. Our home has 2 KING bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus a sleeping loft with one QUEEN bed and one TWIN bed. Downstairs living room has a QUEEN sleeper sofa. We do furnish a pack-n-play crib, high chair and booster seat for the tiny guests. We can comfortably accommodate up to 9 adults. We're sorry, as a courtesy to homeowners/guests with allergies, WE DO NOT HOST PETS OR SERVICE/ESA OF ANY KIND. We do welcome adults, children and hunters!
See the stars through the skylights from the new king size bed in the master and the new queen bed in the loft. Both king bedrooms have a tv and dvd player, first floor bedroom has a vcr as well, and an assortment of vhs and dvd movies. The fully stocked kitchen includes everything you need, bring your groceries and make a simple or gourmet meal. The laundry room includes linens and towels. Outside relaxation on the deck, the rustic fire pit area or the front porch. We also provide super fast STARLINK INTERNET!! Again, so many fun activities (winter and summer) are nearby, including the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Grand Canyon Railway/Polar Express, Bearizona, the Deer Farm and Canyon Coaster Adventure Park, as well as museums, observatories and outdoor recreation such as fishing, hiking, skiing, sledding and more. This home will not disappoint you!  Check in is after 4pm and checkout is before 11:00 am.

The home was well decorated, maintained and equipped. Close proximity to Williams but far enough away to feel like you are away from it all. We spent a lot of time on the front porch. Owner was responsive, one of the best VRBOs I have stayed in.

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying in this cozy, comfortable cabin. My family wanted to feel like we were in the middle of the woods while still being conveniently located to Williams and Flagstaff and this checked that box perfectly. Merrie was so easy to work with when we had to modify our reservation. We’re already talking about when we can go back.

Super cozy and great cabin! There were 6 adults in total in our family staying. The location was perfect for the sightseeing we wanted to do in Sedona and Grand Canyon National Park. Williamson was also a great little town. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay again and would recommend it to a friend. The only slight issue we had was not the fault of the host but our maps kept saying the house was further down the street than where it was actually located. We had some issues finding it the first time because it was night time. Just something to keep in mind if you do book this place! But overall we loved this place!!! The hosts are wonderful!

Wonderful house with a helpful, communicative host! It has the vibe of an older cabin, but the updated furnishings and great condition made it feel fresh and comfortable. Even the pull-out bed was nice. The house is located in a very quiet location in the woods where you can really see the stars. Do note that the roads to the house are not paved, but that wasn’t an issue for us; and make sure before you check out that you clean the kitchen.

The cabin worked perfectly for our trip to the Grand Canyon and surrounding area. The cabin was clean and cozy and we really enjoyed the front and back covered porches. We sat by the bonfire one night and that was a lot of fun. We cooked several meals at home and the kitchen worked perfectly and was well stocked. We loved watching the Stellar Jays and squirrels every morning play near the back patio.

Really beautiful property. However there’s a train that runs at night several times and unfortunately sleeping through the night was an issue for a few of us. For context the train tracks are about a 3 minute car ride away. Keep that in mind if you’re a light sleeper. Otherwise, great location if you’re heading to the Grand Canyon or any of the local attractions. The kids loved the play set. The cleaning fee is 150 which was a bit annoying considering you have to leave the kitchen spotless as opposed to other rentals where you can typically at least clean up the kitchen and leave the dishwasher running but here everything needs to be dried and put away before you leave. A small nuisance. We found several of other people’s socks while staying, but other than that the property was clean.

This was our second time staying at the cabin and it was as great as the first time! The kitchen has everything you need, comfortable furniture and plenty of room at the table for the 8 of us. The kids love the loft and having 2 rooms both with king size beds is a huge plus! We enjoyed siting on the rocking chairs on the front porch and having dinner on the back deck.
