Peaceful Forest Retreat· Hot Tub · Sauna · Views

Wake up to views of the San Francisco Peaks from your private cabin. Spend your evenings gathered around the propane firepit under Flagstaff's famously dark, star-filled skies. Soak in the private hot tub, sweat it out in the dry sauna, then challenge your crew to a game room showdown. Downtown Flagstaff's dining, breweries, and nightlife or a game at NAU are both just 15 minutes away.

Five decks. Three king beds, double bunks, an entertaining game room, and plenty of space to sprawl out.

Incredible rental, easily one of our favorites in Flagstaff. The view of the mountains is phenomenal and the forest behind the property is equally beautiful. Very close to town but feels like it's in the wilderness.The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked pots, pans, utensils, coffee making supplies, crock pots, etc. The pool table and foosball are in great condition and provided tons of fun for our family. The ping pong table was a nice touch as well. Everything was meticulously clean, the host was extremely communicative and responsive.

Gorgeous home, fantastic amenities

We loved our stay! Beautiful home in wooded area near SnowBowl, perfect for our snowboarding trip. Kitchen was very well stocked and everyone loved the pool table and foosball table (and sore snow boarders got a lot of use out of the massage chair and hot tub!). We would absolutely book this home again--thanks for the wonderful visit!

Wonderful Home

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the home. The house was immaculate, well stocked with basics, lots of upgraded appliances, and the beds were comfortable. The game room was a big plus for my adults boys and their friends especially since they came to go skiing and couldn't for 2 days (Snowbowl closed due to high winds). Your only 10 minutes from Basha's and Fratellis (a really good pizza restaurant)

Great location and great host

This was exactly what we were looking for. We spent 2 days on the mountain skiing, took a short drive to Sedona for ATV rides and spent a day at the Grand Canyon. This location was perfect to see everything we wanted in AZ! The house gave all of us plenty of space to come back and relax after some long days. The hot tub was just the icing on the cake! We will for sure be staying here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! While we found the layout of the home to be a little odd and somewhat dated, the views were great and the home had a plethora of amenities. There were plenty of comfortable beds and a variety of spaces inside and out to enjoy. The location of the home was fantastic, only a quick 15 min drive to Snowbowl or downtown. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful getaway

This mountain home is lovely. The view it has of the San Fransisco Peaks was stunning as was the setting in the pines. We were happy for the close proximity to the ski resort. The kitchen is very well stocked. The downstairs game room provided lots of fun and laughter. It was a little hard to keep the place warm but it was bitter cold out and the wind was howling. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return!

Excellent Property

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of this rental. This host thought of everything! It provided everything we could have expected and more. I was especially appreciative of the stainless bowls and plastic Snapwear. Thank you for the complimentary Coffee! Loved having the washer and dryer available for use. Kitchen contents are good quality. There was ample supply of towels. Appreciated having 3 King beds and the full-size bunks. Portable air conditioners in each room are a game changer. Watching TV was limited, and streaming was challenging so we missed some baseball games that we had hoped to watch. This seems to be a consistent problem in remote locations. Not a dealbreaker. My family and dogs had the best time in this spacious rental! Would rent again.

Great cabin in the woods!

We really enjoyed our stay in Flagstaff. The property was beautiful, surrounded by pine trees. The house was clean. We were actually surprised with how clean the patios and furniture were being surrounded with all the dropping pine needles! The AC units were really nice to have in July. Yes they're loud but didn't bother us too much. The basement had all sorts of fun games to play. Our family had a lot of fun down there! The house is old and could do with some improvements, but overall it was a very comfortable place to stay. There was plenty of room for our family of 8. We used the grill and sat around the gas fire pit almost every night. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed. The host was very quick to get back to me whenever I had questions. Other commenters mentioned that the internet didn't work great. I was kind of hoping that was true so my teens would unplug for the week! But we only had internet issues one of the 7 nights we were there ;)
