About this property

NO PHONE, NO POOL, NO CIGARETTES, NEAR ARIZONA TRAIL, FOREST ADJACENT

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.

An incredible stay. The forest setting is something special - quiet, removed from everything, and exactly the reset we needed. It was our first time staying fully off the grid, and the solar and reclaimed water setup made it a surprisingly seamless experience. The space was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked without losing that tucked-away feel.We brought our dog and the property was perfect for him too. Plenty of room to roam and genuinely pet-friendly. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back.

Great family getaway!

Perfect for a small family with a couple of kids. You can even bring the family dog! We enjoyed our stay and the helpful suggestions of things to do around the area. The only thing I would suggest if you're going to stay here is to bring a large cooler with extra ice as the fridge is a little small.

Like others have mentioned, Linda is a superior host. We had 3 very active days in AZ, and this was a great homebase. It was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking, sleeping, hiking, or just relaxing around the property. The stars were amazing and we saw plenty of wildlife within a short walk of the cabin.

What a beautiful piece of property. We really enjoyed our weekend getaway at this nice retreat in the mountains. We brought our mountain bikes and our pups. We were able to do the Arizona Trail on the mountain bikes pulling our pups behind us in their trailer. We had such a blast, I didn’t want to leave!
