Nice hideaway cabin
We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. The surrounding of the cabin was very quiet and peaceful. The cabin has all the things we needed during our stay. The available board games were a nice touch for the family to spend time together.

Beautiful Cabin in the woods
Beautiful cabin in the pines on Oak Creek. This cabin was a perfect weekend getaway spot for me and my family. Very quiet and cozy neighborhood. The cabin was very comfortable with all the amenities of home. Wonderful front porch! The location was fantastic 5 miles north of Slide Rock and 30 min from Flagstaff. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Oak Creek Cabin
The property is beautiful with a vobrant community and the creek only 100 feet away. Fishing is unfortunately catch and release for the time being, but my boys greatly enjoyed fishing for multiple days. The A/C works great for those warn days, but we hardly needed it with how beautiful the weather was.

My sisters and i enjoyed our stay immensely. The road was flooded into the neighborhood but theres a convient walk on bridge so there was no problems getting to the cabin even with the road closure. Overall, would book this place again.

Creekside Getaway
My family and I had a great stay and enjoyed being so close to the creek. The home was quaint and neighborhood was perfect for the kids to go and explore safely. The kitchen is updated and had all the supplies we needed. I had read the reviews prior and made sure to bring our groceries along since its about 30 mins to a grocery store. A few things that we wish we knew in advance ( especially with my elder in-laws) was that the 1) Creek was flooding the road/driveway to the neighborhood and unless you had a big truck, there was no way of crossing safely. Luckily I had reception ( which can be spotty) and Sam quickly helped us navigate how to get the walking bridge and where to park our car. I really do think this information should have been brought to our attention prior to arrival with the check in instructions but I'm glad it wasn't a big issue. The other only other issue we had was figuring out the fireplace to heat the place ( no central heating- which they do mention) since it was still chilly in April, there were instructions but it was difficult to sort out. We did eventually figure it out and it was working great and used some of the room heaters to warm up the space. Other than that, the place is cozy, all the bedrooms were great and comfortable! Plenty of movies, games and space to relax and enjoy some family time. We did have a wonderful time staying next in the canyon.

Lovely cabin
We were nervous before our trip since Sedona had a snow storm the day we were supposed to travel up from Tucson. We wrote to our hosts asking to change dates slightly due to the conditions and they gratuitously allowed us to. Thanks so much- helped greatly since the roads were closed that day anyway! Once we arrived the following day, the cabin was perfect for our for our needs. Clean and spacious, kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, enjoyed the wood burning stove. Very spotty internet and phone reception but since we were there to relax we didn’t mind much. Would stay here again:)

Great Spot
Great House. Very clean and comfortable. We love the location. The creek is practically right out the front door and there are beautiful views all around. Nice quiet neighborhood. Still close enough to Sedona to enjoy the town too. Only issue we had was being unlucky in our timing. We had to arrive very late due to work and it just so happened to snow just before we got there, so the parking areas needed to be shoveled or plowed. I’m sure if we were arriving at a more reasonable hour it wouldn’t have been a problem. But just in case you go right after it snows, you might want to ask ahead of time if they could check that. Still had a great time and will definitely go back.

Birthday celebration
Lovely cabin, we’ll appointed, very comfortable and reasonably priced. Only glitch was checking in. I had contacted the host the night before to try to get information about the check in process and didn’t hear back from him. Called that afternoon before we drove up there and left a voicemail message but didn’t hear back. When we got to the cabin the phone service was spotty so I couldn’t reach the host. Fortunately our friend traveling with us was able to get through to him on her phone and he apologized saying he forgot to send us the information to get into the house. He texted it to her and we got in. Once we got in everything was great.

Perfect location!
Fantastic location right between Sedona & Flagstaff. Beautiful neighborhood, Loved being close to the creek. Beds were comfortable and we really enjoyed the wood fireplace. Kitchen and linens were all well stocked. Wi-Fi worked surprisingly well. Lots of dvds and games which the kids loved. Owner was friendly and quick to respond. Would have been nice to have a tv downstairs in the main area. (Not related to the home-but there was only one lane due to construction on the main road from here up to Flagstaff, made it longer and more difficult than usual to get there. Might want to take this into account if you plan on going to Flagstaff often from the home. Not sure how long the construction will last)

Beds were comfy, kitchen was fully stocked with supplies, lots of dvds and games, decent sized propane grill, outside seating, and even apple trees on the property! We also liked that it was a short drive to the Westfork Trail. We do wish we could have stayed longer!!

Beautiful Cabin, Excellent Location
My family and I loved this cabin. Beautiful inside with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Even the small items, such as shampoo/conditioner/body wash, kleenix boxes, olive oil, and seasonings that make a stay feel like home were available for our use. Don't worry about bringing games, puzzles, or movies, because there are a ton of options to choose from. The owner was very nice and communicative. Our location in the canyon was perfect, not far from either Flagstaff or Sedona. The neighbors also were very nice and made us feel at home. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Spacious cabin near hiking, Sedona and Flagstaff
This property was located in a great location halfway between Flagstaff and Sedona, a beautiful drive in each direction. It's also less than 2 miles from the West Fork Trail, which goes along Oak Creek and has stunning views of the canyon. The cabin was clean and has a well-stocked kitchen, lots of games, and two big porches/decks (one in the shade and one in the sun) with tons of birds. It was a nice place for a quick weekend getaway from the Phoenix heat.

We had wonderful weather for the 3 days. There were four of us with lots of room to enjoy the cabin. I wish the television had been down stairs. The stairs are a bit dangerous, so be careful. The person sleeping upstairs did not like the bed ( the mattress). Over all, everything was great!

Beautiful, well equipped cabin. Kitchen had everything we needed (except a kitchen sponge!) to cook and eat in for three days. The heater worked perfectly, so we did not build a fire in the fireplace. The beds were comfortable. Exactly what we needed for three couples. A beautiful, serene location that was central to Flagstaff and Sedona. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Surrounded by nature all the way around!!
This property was perfect for four adults and two young children. The location was farther from Sedona than we originally thought, however, it was an easy trek to town and back each day. The area was so beautiful and serene; we went on an early morning hike each day to get our day started. Our 7 year old granddaughter joined us bright and early. The house suited us just fine; it was everything that the pictures and description said and more so! The rooms were very comfortable and we were able to use the fireplace which made it very cozy. Check in and out was easy and we would stay here again! Beautiful! Thank you!
