Oak Creek Canyon Cottage: cozy and scenic, minutes from downtown Sedona

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!
