Two Brilliant Days at Moose Manor

Guest: Lilking (Auckland, New Zealand)
Date of Stay: 05/04/12 Review Submitted: 05/10/12

Two days was not nearly long enough with so much to see in the Grand Canyon area, and with such a special cabin in which to base our stay. Moose Manor is beautifully located, has a lovely themed decor, and is well equipped and furnished. We stayed in a group of seven adults, and our only regret was that we were not able to spend more time relaxing in this lovely cabin in the woods. The house was spotlessly clean and well presented, and the booking process easy. Of course, the Canyon was awe inspiring (don't miss a visit to the Watchtower at Desert View). And add to your stay a visit to Williams nearby, the shops are fun and full of Route 66 memorabilia - good eating places too. This property deserves every one of the 5 stars we've given it.

My Stay at Moose Manor

Guest: Joe (Denver)
Date of Stay: 03/16/12 Review Submitted: 04/04/12

I stayed at Moose Manor with three of my friends during our spring break from college. All of us were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the cabin and everything available within it. The cabin was mostly secluded, allowing for privacy, but not so secluded that if children were there you'd have to worry about them getting lost in the woods or something. The cabin was about an hour from the Grand Canyon, allowing for some spectacular day trips, and 20 minutes from a small town to get food or other supplies. Steve and Amy were extremely nice and understanding, offering to snow blow the driveway when it snowed and help in any way they could, while respecting our privacy. I would highly recommend this cabin to almost any vacationer.

Moose Manor

Date of Stay: 02/03/12 Review Submitted: 02/06/12

The description of the property was accurate regarding the location and the photos were accurate. The property was clean and well maintained. I would recommend this property to friends. I would definitely stay there again if I had some activities in the area. Snowbowl was about a 45 min to hour drive and easy. Williams is about ten miles away but it is easy also. I would recommend the Red Raven restaurant and the Pizza Factory in Williams also. The cabin was enjoyable and a great experience.

Best family vacation ever

Guest: Chris & Anne (London/Ontario/Canada)
Date of Stay: 12/30/11 Review Submitted: 01/05/12

We just stayed for 5 nights at Moose Manor with another family. It was probably the nicest vacation my wife and I have ever had with our family (5 kids between 10 and 18). Moose manor was big enough for all of us and we had a great time preparing meals, watching movies and playing games after a day of sight seeing. We were also blessed with incredible weather with highs in the 50s (during December and January). The cabin is in a small community but there was at least 50 yards to the nearest neighbor and privacy was not an issue. It was also in a wonderful spot for seeing the sites of Northern Arizona - the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Flagstaff were all an easy drive. In fact, our stay was too short...we couldn't get to see many more sites that we wanted to. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. Thanks for a wondeful stay.

Excellent. My husband and three children ages 20, 18, and 17 had a wonderful time at Moose Manor. The house was beautiful and we were very happy to have a Christmas tree set up and decorated. The kids enjoyed the sleds. I would highly recommend this home. Thanks Amy and Steve for all the homey touches, it truly felt like a home away from home. Christmas was very special. Christine

Winter cabins

Guest: ELG (Glendale, AZ )
Date of Stay: 12/21/11 Review Submitted: 12/26/11

The Cabin is located in a nice quiet area, the inside was very clean, neatly decorated, cozy, & welcoming. You can enjoy the great views of the tall pine trees & snow while sitting in front of the warm fireplace & watching a nice family movie. we found everything we needed, dinnerware, cookware, cleaning supplies, sleeping bags, extra pillows & covers, and more, besides to a wide variety of family movies, games, lots of sleds & a hammock. We went in December, the kids enjoyed sledding & they had so much fun playing in the play set, but weather was not permitting for using the hammock, grill or sitting on the front porch, but I would imagine these will be lots of fun in warmer weather. Overall, it was the perfect family getaway. We loved & we're definitely going back

Moose Lodge at Christmas

Date of Stay: 12/18/11 Review Submitted: 12/20/11

Moose Lodge is absolutely adorable! My family wanted to go to a cozy cabin and play in the snow at Christmas time. And that"s exactly what we got! The cabin was nestled in the trees and had snow all around. It was warm and friendly and wonderful for quiet, family time. We watched movies, played board games by the fire place, and baked Christmas cookies. We went sledding and enjoyed Christmas lights in Flagstaff. The cabin had all the amenities. We will definitely do it again!

Perfect Get-A-Way October 18th Thru October 24th 2011

Guest: cenchreas (Richmond, Indiana)
Date of Stay: 10/18/11 Review Submitted: 10/26/11

My daughter is a USA Soldier serving in Afghanistan and wanted to go somewhere special for her R&R. After much research we found this site and were pleased with Amy answering, promptly, all of our questions through our many emails and phone calls. Amy was very patient with going back and forth with my limited communication with my daughter in Afghanistan. Many of the sites we researched either were very slow in answering our questions or didn't answer at all. We found it to be just what we needed for 4 of us and even more than what we expected. We arrived at the cabin with my soldier daughter's truck driver husband ,(he had to leave after one day due to the obligations of his job). This left myself (57), soldier daughter,(28), and my other daughter, (29) to stay at the cabin and we completed our 6 day stay without problems. I can't put into words what it meant to me to watch my soldier unwind in this peaceful cabin, she was able to cook a meal, do her computer games (with the WiFi available at the cabin) and take luxury bubble baths, sleep without interruptions, talk if she wanted to, quiet time when needed and the activities in the area were unending. This cabin is located 10 minutes from Williams, Arizona which is the starting point for most of the adventures related to the Grand Canyon. I can't imagine anyone not able to find the activity that would be to their interest, Grand Canyon and surrounding areas offer golfing, horseback riding (near the cabin), trails, rafting, helicopter rides over the canyon (breath taking, all of the beauty can't be captured except for the naked eye), jeep rides at the bottom of the cabin (fun bouncing around in the jeep seeing the rough part of the canyon, wading in the Colorado river), mule packing, various places to eat, shopping, on and on...... The best part of all of this was returning to the cabin and just relaxing in the peaceful setting of wooded area with easy access in and out of the drive. Dishwasher, laundry, 2 baths, beds that are so comfy you go to sleep as soon as your head hits the pillow ( this was really important to the soldier), putting it plainly, a nice home away from home of which we hated to leave. We did laundry everyday, took at least one shower or bath a day we used the dishwasher and had plenty of water. Thank you, Amy and Steve, for sharing the cabin with us, we know you put a lot of thought and work into your cabins and it made our visit so much better than staying at a motel.

Owner response:Dear Pauline, We were honored that you and your family stayed with us. Thank you for such a wonderful review! We are also very thankful for your daughter's service to our country. God Bless you and your family. We hope you stay with us again in the future. Amy & Steve

The perfect way to visit the Grand Canyon Area

Guest: Mitch (Independence, Missouri)
Date of Stay: 10/13/11 Review Submitted: 10/22/11

This was the perfect way for us to spend our family vacation. Nestled among the pines outside of Williams we had the opportunity to relax as well as get out and see some great sites. The swing/play set was perfect for the young ones to let off that extra energy, giving the adults time to be together. We enjoyed the fire-pit, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows and spending time outdoors. The entire experience was great and we would recommend this cabin to anyone.

We had a great time at Moose Manor in late September 2011. there were 4 adults and 2 kids in our group and there was plenty of room for all of us. We all loved the different Moose touches that made the cabin extra special. The directions to set the cabin upand kep it cool during the day were excellent and easy to follow. The proximity to Williams and a little bit of Roue 66 nostalgia was also a special treat for us Australians. Thank you to Amy and your family for etting us stay in your gorgeous cabin.

Great home away from home

Guest: WR (Bay Area California)
Date of Stay: 08/26/11 Review Submitted: 09/06/11

Cabin was lovely and well equipped. Quite spacious for the four adults in our party. Nice kitchen, comfy places to sit, inside and out. Cabin a short drive from Williams- offered seclusion and quiet in a beautiful woodsy setting. Only regret was that we were so on the go that we didn't have more time to hang out on the porch. Plusses- well lit rooms and living spaces, two really comfortable king sized beds, air laced with pine scent, and lots of privacy. (as in nobody else around at all!!) No problems at all. Highly recommended. Many thanks. *Nearest grocery is in Williams, so bring in whatever you need- nothing right nearby.

Tranquility

Guest: Phoenician (Phoenix, AZ)
Date of Stay: 08/18/11 Review Submitted: 08/24/11

The morning after our arrival, I found myself sitting outside watching my children on the play structure as I sipped my coffee. The day before, I was in 112 degree heat, now I was wearing a sweatshirt in the cool mountain morning. The cabin is warmly decorated with a log cabin motif throughout. It was more than accomodating for my wife and three children. There were no surprises with regards to the listing, with the exception that the owners called the day of our arrival to ensure that everything was in order for us, which it was. There only downside perhaps of the property may be the proximity of other houses, which are literally in the back yard. Having said that, I did not see a soul for the entire 4 days we were there. No hesitation in recommending this rental.

Owner response:Thank you for your excellent review. We are happy that you and your family completely enjoyed yourselves in the beautiful, cool forest. Our property sits on an acre of tall ponderosa pines and we own the vacant acre next door to it, providing a large area to explore. Most of the properties in the development are vacation homes, which accounts for you not seeing anyone during your stay. We hope you stay with us again in the future.

Terrific Family Stay at Moose Manor

Guest: Memory Seeker (Baltimore)
Date of Stay: 08/01/11 Review Submitted: 08/24/11

We were lucky enough to find this cabin for our family of five. This was our first trip to the Grand Canyon. We have three kids (11, 9 & 9). Moose Manor was perfect for our family. The cabin is surrounded by trees and is so peaceful. The cabin was clean, warm and inviting. When we did eat there it was on the back porch which is so relaxing. I found everything that I needed to make meals. We made daily trips to the Canyon which took 1.25 hours each way. We never would have found a place as nice as this closer to the Grand Canyon. We were 10-15 minutes from town (Williams) which had everything that we needed: cute shops, restaurants, Safeway, post office etc... Amy and Steve made it easy to rent from, not to mention that I felt completely comfortable about renting long distance. I would highly recommend any of the cabins from Classy Cabins.

Owner response:Thank you SO much for such a nice review! We are grateful that you appreciate the hard work we put into our cabins to make them perfect for families to enjoy. We too have 3 children, so they are a great resource on what makes our cabins kid friendly. We look forward to having you stay with us again in the future! Thank you. Amy & Steve

A beautiful home

Guest: Katherine (Fort Worth, Texas)
Date of Stay: 07/26/11 Review Submitted: 07/30/11

This is a beautiful home. Comfortable beds, all the kitchen utensils you could ever need, plenty of room, and spic-and-span clean. We had no problems at all with the water system or getting in; everything was exactly as stated. Owners are very helpful. Our only surprise was that it's in a neighborhood -- somehow I expected to be out away from others. The neighbors weren't too close (it's on an acre lot), and that was fine with us, but it was a bit of a surprise. Overall, we loved it and will return!

This is our third year at Moose Manor, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first. This year we vistited Sycamore Canyon, the lesser knwn canyon in the area. It was breathtaking. We also took a longer trip to see the Navajo Bridge at Marble Canyon. Spectacular, and worth the drive. All in all a very enjoyable week at the well kept, and well located, Moose Manor.

Would definitely stay here again! Amy was very easy to work with, and the cabin was exactly as described. Make sure you load up at the Safeway in nearby Williams, as there aren't any other stores nearby. Perfect location for a visit to the grand canyon, which is about 75 minutes away by car.

Very Nice Cabin

Guest: Jeff (Olathe, Kansas)
Date of Stay: 05/28/11 Review Submitted: 06/01/11

The cabin is very nice and very, very comfortable. I like the location and a great setting. The only negative is that there is no sugar, coffee, laundry soap, etc. Which is fine, I don't expect them to supply all that, but you are a long way from stores, so be sure to bring what you need. Overall, a great cabin and great place to stay. I would certainly recommend it.

Owner response:We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are sorry that there was no laundry detergent available. As far as sugar and coffee go, sometimes previous guests leave some behind, but we always tell our guests to bring their own groceries. The nearest grocery store, Safeway, is in the town of Williams, which is only 10-12 minutes away. Thank you again for staying with us. Steve and Amy

fantastic, cozy getaway in the woods

Guest: Simran and Gautam (San Francisco, CA)
Date of Stay: 05/27/11 Review Submitted: 05/31/11

Our group of 6 stayed at Moose Manor over part of Memorial Day weekend. Amy and Steve sent along detailed instructions before our arrival. We got to the cabin at about 10pm on Friday and left at about 9am on Saturday -- it was a hectic trip -- and our biggest regret all weekend was that we didn't get to spend more time there! Everything was picture perfect, right down to all the moose (stuffed toys, sculptures, wall decals...) that dotted the cabin. And lots of thoughtful details to make our stay more homey: the king beds in the bedrooms and the sectional sofa in the living room were super comfortable, the TV cabinet was equipped with all sorts of DVDs and games, the fireplace turned off and on with one switch!, and we enjoyed cups of hot tea sitting out on the back patio in the early morning. We didn't even get to really use the BBQ grill, or enjoy the quiet of the starlit night. There didn't seem to be much hot water, even though we followed the instructions on water supply and heating, so you may need to give Amy or Steve a call if you're stuck (we didn't do so, as we showered super early in the morning and didn't want to disturb them, so just counted it as part of the rustic woods experience :-D). We hope we'll be able to return again someday, hopefully with more time to relax and soak in the woods.

Date of Stay: 05/13/11 Review Submitted: 05/20/11

WOW. What can I say...Moose Manor is a a fantastic, quiet, remote, yet close enough to Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon and even a day trip to the Petrified Forest, cabin. The cabin itself is wonderfully decorated and appointed. While just my wife and I rented the cabin there is easily room for a family or several couples. The kitchen has everything one needs to cook a fabulous meal - which we did!! For the solo couple, an evening cuddling on the sofa with the fireplace going while sipping a glass of wine is a great way to unwind. Head out onto the deck and see more stars than most of us city dwellers believe exist. Very highly recommended and we can't wait until we get an opportunity to return. P.S. No water issues for us!!

The cabin was beautiful and comfortable, well-equipped with bedding, kitchen utensils, etc. The porch, hammock, and play structure added outdoor fun. Very close to numerous activities, including horseback riding, Deer Park, and of course the Grand Canyon. We had no problems with water supply, though we were careful not to use too much. One thing to be aware of, for larger parties - although it's true that the cabin sleeps up to 8 people, there are only 2 private bedrooms. The rest of the sleeping spaces are in the loft, or on an air mattress in the living room. So be prepared for a slumber party!

Cabin is exactly as described. Was a wonderful way to spend my daughter's birthday. Our trip included three adults and three kids. Plenty of room for everyone. Nice kitchen to take food to save on expensive meals out. Beds, couch and recliner were very comfortable. Amy and Steve were very helpful with maps and cabin directions. Cabin is far enough off the main drag for privacy, yet close enough to enjoy everything Williams and Flagstaff have to offer. This would also be a great place to stay when visiting the Grand Canyon. If you make a trip and stay in this cabin, you won't regret it!! And make sure you visit Bearizona. Awesome place.

Have to say Moose Manor is a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood in Williams, AZ. We stayed there Jan. 14-16. My kids LOVED sledding down the hill in front of the house, having snowball fights and searching for elk prints. The interior is absolutly beautiful! The living room windows offer stunning views throughout the day, beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates. Now the negative, when we arrived Friday at 5PM the house was 40 degrees and took a good hour or two to warm up. Then Sat. while cooking dinner, we ran out of water. No water to sinks, showers and toilets! We didn't let it ruin our night, we watched It's A Wonderful Life and Uncle Buck by the fireplace and made cookies. During the night we could hear the pump trying to get water but there was none. By the morning the toilets were full of pee and toilet paper. My Husband had pots of snow on the stove and buckets filled with snow to melt, so that we could flush #2. We had purchased food to have a big breakfast, but with the dishwasher full, sink overflowing and pots of snow on the stove that did not happen. We just cleaned up as best we could, packed up and left without any showers. I called Steveat 9AM Sunday morning to let him know of our water problem. He apologized and said that he would be making a call to get water delivered that day and that the cistern must be empty. I'm not the type to ask for a refund or discount for a future visit, but a gesture like that would have gone a long way. In my opinion, someone should check the house before a renter arrives to turn on the heat, check the status of gas and water. The contract that we signed said that the owner is not responsible for disruptions in service to gas, water or electric. When I think of disruption, I think of a clogged toilet a shower that does not work or a storm that knocked out electricity. Not an empty tank of water. It was only myself, my Husband and two girls that stayed there that weekend, I can't imagine if it was 8-10 people. For the money we paid I would never have expected something like this to have happened. I have rented through VRBO five times and will continue to do so, this is the first bad experience we have had, it happens...... oh well. :)

Owner response:We are very sorry this happened. We have not had this problem before. Unfortunately, the water company did not deliver water on time. If we had been notified when it happened, they would have had water delivered within an hour, but waiting until just before checkout on Sunday morning to let us know meant we could not get water there in time. We encourage everyone who stays with us to call us immediately if there are any problems as we have people standing by to help, but we can't rectify a problem if we don't know about it. We were shocked to learn about the problem the *next day* upon checkout instead of when it happened the night before! We do in fact have a new water company supplying water to the cabins as a result of this incident; we fired the old supplier so we can be certain we have the most reliable service possible.

Moose Manor - New Year's Eve 2010/2011 Stay

Date of Stay: 12/31/10 Review Submitted: 01/29/11

My family and I had a wonderful time at Moose Manor over New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, this past holiday season (2010). We were so delighted when we pulled up and saw the cabin, all covered in fresh snow and icicles...it looked like a painting. The cabin's interior was lovely, and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. The family room is so cozy, with a gorgeous fire place and large sectional couch. The Christmas tree was a nice touch. We watched movies, and even brought along our Wii system and sang some karaoke. The bedrooms were very comfortable, and the kids had a lot of fun sleeping in the loft. We only had one incident with the downstairs bathroom (leaking toilet), but the problem resolved itself quickly (we think it was because the pipes were too cold at first). We brought along our own food and supplies, and cooked a couple of great breakfasts and dinners. We used the outside BBQ on New Year's Day. We would have loved to sit on the back patio and enjoy the surroundings, but it was way too cold. At midnight on New Year's Eve, we all went sledding down the driveway towards the house. Amy and Steve had provided several sleds, and we had such a good time making use of them! We also bought ourselves a star gazing book up at the Grand Canyon, and then we went walking at night pointing out constellations. The sky was so clear...I haven't seen that many stars in a long, long time. We drove to the Grand Canyon on New Year's Day. It is only 1 hour away from Moose Manor. Only my husband and brother-in-law made it into Williams, but they said it was lovely and quaint. My husband said it reminded him of a Norman Rockwell painting! Next time I will be sure to go into town. We hope to return to Moose Manor. We would also like to experience Raccoon Ranch someday. We want to plan a trip with our friends in early June, and are thinking of making Moose Manor our destination. Looking forward to it! Sarah M.

Our Christmas at Moose Manor was one of the best family vacations we have ever had, giving us memories that will last for a life time. From the beautiful log cabin set back in the majestic ponderosa pines of Williams AZ, to the towering snow covered San Francisco Peaks that that adorn the Northern Arizona skyline Moose Manor has it all. We could not have asked for a better place and setting for our Christmas cabin adventure. During our stay the snow was plentiful and so was the holiday spirit. Amy and Steve of Classy Cabins AZ were great and have thought of everything From the beautifully decorated Christmas tree to the welcome guide that introduces you to your stay and gets the cabin up and running quickly. Nothing about Moose Manor is an afterthought and you can tell that great care has gone into the cabins design and comforts, from the cute decor to the very comfortable king beds that are in both bedrooms Amy and Steve have thought of it all. There was plenty of space at the cabin as well, we had 7 adults, 4 kids and 1 dog and we never ran out of room or things to do. The cabin had plenty of games, movies, and dishware to accommodate all of us, not to mention the sleds that Amy and Steve left for the kids. In addition to all that the cabin had to offer Williams and Flagstaff AZ are a very close drive. The Grand Canyon Railroad in Williams offers a Polar express ride in the winter months and is only about a 20 min drive. Flagstaff is about 40 min away and offer great shopping, nightlife and restaurants. During our stay we elected to visit the Grand Canyon witch was only about an hours drive and offered a fantastic view and a chance to see a few mule deer that make Grand Canyon National park their home. If you are considering making Moose Manor your next family vacation I give it five stars and suggest you book your vacation early since the summer and Christmas season fills up quick. We look forward to are next stay with Classy Cabins AZ and are confident that you and your family will have the same experience we have had.

This is a great cabin in the woods with lots of space! A large king-sized bed downstairs, another upstairs and extra sleeping room in the loft. Very comfortable. We arrived late at night and due to the fact that there are no lights (think boonies in the country) had a tricky (and scary to one of my kids) time finding it. Much easier in the daylight. Great place to come home to after a day exploring. Great gas fireplace, heats the cabin up quickly and the kitchen was well stocked. You must bring everything with you...including soap and coffee filters, but the stores are fairly close by. Stock up before you arrive. Would recommend to everyone.

It is a beautiful cabin secluded in tall pines with everything we needed to enjoy our weekend escape from the city and from the desert heat. Would definitely stay there again.

Just wanted to thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cabin ! We had such a great time at Moose Manor ! We were at the Grand Canyon nearly everyday of our trip. Only my husband had been there before, and that was 20+ years ago. We walked along the Rim trail, took 100's of pictures. We even hiked down the Bright Angel trail, stayed overnight at Phantom Ranch, then hiked back up the next day. Very exciting ! Thank you again for a wonderful place to stay ! The whole family loved it ! My best to you and your family ! Mary Kay. :-)

We had a great stay at Moose Manor! Williams was close by and everything at the property was as described in the listing! We want to come back for a winter ski vacation in the near future!

A Wonderful Vacation

This is the second time we have stayed at Moose Manor, and we had a great vacation again. The cabin is comfortable, and has virtually everthing you need except clothes and food. From here you can make day trips to Sunset Crater, Slide Rock, Meteor Crater, the Petrified Forest, and, of course, Grand Canyon. This year we tried our hand a geocaching, and had a great time. You'll really enjoy your stay here!

Very nice and comfortable place for our family to enjoy time together. Secluded, yet near enough to downtown Williams to enjoy dinner out and activities, plus we visited the Grand Canyon three times during our visit. Great rental for a family of 5.

Moose Manor - A Happy Haven!

Guest: Happy Wisconsinites (South Milwaukee, WI)
Date of Stay: 06/17/10 Review Submitted: 07/12/10

Thank you, Amy & Steve. What a wonderful location for Moose Manor! We considered it our haven for the time we were there. It was close enough to everything we wanted to see & do: ie. Grand Canyon, Craters, Parks, & Rt 66 and was such a lovely "home" to come back to. We spent a lot of time on the porch morning and evenings and the children loved being explorers and searching for foxes, squirrels, and whatever their imaginations could dream up in the " back yard." Moose Manor was quite an experience for us; eight people together having a wonderful time in many difference ways. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants a home away from home for a fun vacation. We hope to return again and would definitely like to stay at Moose Manor. Thank you.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again.

We have 2 wonderful nights in this cabin, loads of room for 8 people and it really felt like a home away from home. I really loved the large, soft beds and the fact it had a washing machine that I could wash our clothes and get them dry after 6 days of travelling. Would stay again in a heart beat.Thanks for a beautiful home!

Great luxury cabin central to the natural wonders of central and northern Arizona

My kids were very excited to explore the cabin when we arrived, and this includes two teenagers. We loved the open concept, floor to ceiling front windows, full kitchen, and best of all the very comfortable two king size beds. After our day trips to the Grand Canyon (1 hour away) it was great to come back and relax at the cabin. The bedding, dishes, furniture, towels, wood floors were all first class and high quality. We also visited and shopped in Williams on Route 66 just 10 minutes away. We highly recommend a trip to Twisters for a great meal in a 50's style restaurant. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but it's very clean and has good food. Also, lots of Route 66 stuff to look at/buy. This is a great place for families, couples looking for a get away. I guess just about everyone! You will not be disappointed. We would go back in a minute and enjoyed our time at the cabin. I don't write on line reviews, but felt this place was everything we hoped it would be and more, and deserved a good review.

Owner response:Thank you for such kind words. We'll continue to make our guests feel right at home. We hope you return again soon.

We really enjoyed our stay at Moose Lodge. The house was bright, shiney and well appointed with linens, blankets, dishes, and cooking utensils. A great location within easy driving distance of Sedona, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. We were quite pleased with the house and would definitely visit again.

Late review, but we had the PLEASURE of spending a couple days here and it was fantastic.The cabin was great and accomodated all our needs, we also took advantage of cooking at the cabin and just enjoying the area. The deer farm petting zoo down the street was great for the kids. The cabin had 99% of what we needed, all we needed was food, it was a short drive into williams for supplies, everything was great and plan to return soon.

Had a great time at Moose Manor. Even the weather cooperated giving us a white Christmas. The cabin was as advertised. It easily accomodated the seven adults in our party. Steve and Amy responded to our questions promptly. The roads were kept open and once we learned to not park downhill when it snowed we were able to travel at will. Elk Ridge Ski area fit our needs and the Grand Canyon was an easy hour drive away. Rather than dine out we chose to cook at the cabin where we could enjoy the view from the family room. We hope to visit Moose Manor again. Nancy
