We rented this cabin for a four day weekend with our two kids- ages 1 and 3. Packing was simple because a full size crib, booster seats, play mat, and lots of toys and children's movies were already included in the cabin! The kids LOVED playing with the new toys and having a fenced play space in the backyard. My husband and I loved the hot tub after the kids went to bed! It was so relaxing and quite an experience to sit in a 102 degree hot tub when it's 29 degrees outside and snowing!! The owner was very accommodating easy to work with and she's really done a nice job and making you feel right at home in the cabin. It's terrific to have all the comforts of home - including cable and internet, which a lot of places don't have. We traveled in February of 2010 and had quite a snowstorm come through! We loved seeing the large snowflakes fall and seeing all the trees covered in white! The kids had never seen so much snow, so it was very exciting for them. We were able to do lots of sledding and build a large snowman in the backyard with the provided snowman making kit. We will keep this place at the top of our list for future northern Arizona stays and would love to come back with the grandparents now that we know there is plenty of space for a large family and tons of amenities! Thanks! Tamie & family

Owner response:Tamie, Thank you so much for your review, sometimes we get calls at soon as they arrive telling us how they love it or emails but a review means a lot to us because we are able to show it to the world and I like to keep reading the reviews because it gives us a gratification for our work. Thank you so much! It truly makes me happy to read how special your vacation went! Clara

Wonderful Christmas in the snow

Our family spent Christmas in the chalet and couldn't rate it highly enough. The chalet is located within easy reach of Flagstaff and all it's amenities and is close to the highways for venturing further afield. The chalet itself had everything you could possibly need and was spotlessly clean. The chalet was warm even on the coldest days and has a real home from home feel. As this was the first Christmas we had spent away from home we didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be one of the best Christmas holidays we have ever had and the chalet had a large part to play in that. Tubing, sledding and iceskating with the kids was great fun. Great atmosphere in Black Barts steakhouse and Macy's coffeehouse really hit the spot on cold days. Booking process with the owner was very efficient and she was always available if we had any questions. All in all it is a place we would definately recommend if you want to stay in the Flagstaff area.

Owner response:Thank you for your review, loved reading it!! :) we work hard in every detail. We never stop, we believe our cabin is special for every occasion. We have had guests who had celebrate graduations, family celebrations and I can picture, the perfect occasion with all the elements to make the time memorable. Thank you again, for your time to write a review. And yes for my future guest that is reading this review. Would like a review from you too.

Wonderful way to bring in the New Year

Our family really loved our three days we spent in this rental. It is so cozy and very close to sledding and skiing options. We had four children under the age of four with us and it was so roomy and quiet. The front closet had great toys, a toddler stool and booster seats for our family to use. Also they provided crib and pack and play. It was a great way to ring in 2012. Thank you to the owners for all the great amenities. We will be back again!

Owner response:Thank you. When I started traveling after my son was born I realized how hard was to pack and no matter what there was always something forgotten. Sometimes had to pack so much that there was hardly any space for the toys! It was a great experience at the time of furnishing! I knew what to have!!! It is wonderful to know that your efforts are appreciated ! Thank you, Clara

Great Value

What a great place to stay. We took three kids with us ranging in age from 3-19 and the all had a blast. The older children had a great time playing pool and ping-pong and sledding on some fun hills in the near area. The 3 year-old had a blast on the little hill just outside our house as well as some of the bigger hills. We built snowmen and had snowball fights and came in and enjoyed hot chocolate and sugar cookies. The rooms were great and the beds were comfortable. Everything was very well stocked and clean.. Clara really had thought of everything. We cooked everyday while we were there and saved a great deal of money by not eating out and the kitchen was good sized with all the cooking materials you would need. Clara is very kind and friendly and always available to get a hold of and talk to when we needed something (like when we locked ourselves out of the house and forgot my wifes glasses when we came home - she promptly got us back in the house and sent my wife's glasses to us as quickly as she found them) This was a great house to stay in and well worth the upgrade from a hotel room. Great place to stay for a winter retreat!

Owner response:Cory, It was great having you. It make us very happy to know that everything worked out well. You were also a great guest, caring for the cabin. You are the kind of guest that we want to keep having every time. Thank you for the review, it is very important to us. Clara

Hi Clara, We just returned from a magical weekend in the snow. The cabin was cozy and had everything we could have possibly needed! The kids enjoyed the toys and movies. The adults loved the hot-tub. We appreciated all the special touches in the well stocked kitchen and bedrooms. Perfect for kids - baby gate, pack n play, blocks, books... you name it! A short distance to sledding and parks. About 30 minutes drive to WIlliams where we enjoyed the Polar Express trainride to the "North Pole". Thanks Clara for everything!! Merry Christmas,

Perfect Get-A-Way

This was a perfect place for our family to explore Arizona. We had a combination of couples meet in Arizona to explore. The location was great by it being 1-2 hours away from many Arizona's "must sees". The cabin itself, was wonderful. It was spacious and fulfilled all of our needs for the trip. We would not hesitate to return.

Owner response:Thank you Meghan, everything in the house was bought thinking of your comfort and how special our guests are.

Fantastic Flagstaff house

Date of Stay: 07/28/11 Review Submitted: 08/26/11

This is an incredible house to rent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The discussions between the owner and myself was always helpful, even speaking on the phone from England!! The house is wonderful - fantastic rooms, clean, helpful bits and pieces in the kitchen, a BBQ and plenty of space and our kids really enjoyed the ping pong!! The hot tub was great too! It was a brilliant place for a week's holiday location - we went to Grand Canyon (twice), Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon, Meteor Crater, Sunset Crater and had a wonderful time! Great memories!!!

Owner response:Thank you so much! I truly love your spirit and your review. :)

A different experience

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin and had a great vacation. All of the rooms were roomy and nicely appointed. The kitchen was supplied much better than other places we’ve stayed at. We especially enjoyed the pool and Ping-Pong table as well as the hot tub after a busy day. They provided a fun family environment and a welcomed change from only having TV for entertainment. We would highly recommend the cabin as lodging for any activity in and around Flagstaff, and can’t think of anything to change.

NAKAI CABIN

Guest: tmcral (Waunakee, WI)
Date of Stay: 06/11/11 Review Submitted: 06/21/11

Spacious cabin located very close to Flagstaff. We stayed during the month of June. Excellent location to visit The Grand Canyon, meteor crater, Slide Rock State Park, Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, Route 66, San Francisco Peaks and beyond! This cabin works well for a big family or group or for just 3 peeps like us. After coming home from siteseeing, we were glad to relax in the hot tub, play a game of pool, or just view the tv. Fyi, we did see a pizza delivery truck in the area, so we are sure that is an option for dinner as well. Otherwise, cook on the awesome grill supplied as we did. If we come back to Arizona, it will be Nakai! Clean and comfortable ammenties. Tour guidebooks galore! Enjoy!

Owner response:It is truly wonderful to receive this notes from our guests, if you are reading this note please let us know. And we will love to have you. We tried to have only the best for my special guests. Thank you, Clara
