About Emily Locke
Hi :-) I grew up in Southern California, then lived in NYC for a few years (where I met my husband) before settling in Anthem, AZ and starting our family! My husband and I have lived in Anthem for 12 years and have four young children. The Flagstaff/Williams area is a perfect escape from the heat of the Valley during the summer, a gorgeous place to see the leaves changing in the Fall, and a wonderful place to experience a 'real winter' and give our kids a chance to sled and build snowmen!! :-)
Emily Locke purchased this house in 2013
Why Emily Locke chose Canyon Country & Northeast
This place is amazing! We fell in love the first time we saw it. The Parks area is the perfect location, halfway between Flagstaff and Williams. We love the feel of being in the forest rather than in a neighborhood. It really makes us feel like we are "getting away" :-)
What makes this house unique
One of my favorite things about the cottage is the 'Loft', which is a kid-sized play area above one of the upstairs bedrooms. It is such a unique and fun place!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Everything was great! I really can't think of anything about the house that we didn't like. We loved the wood burning stove, and that there were toys to keep our kids busy. The location was perfect, we loved how secluded it was.

Reviews
VRBO Bear stayed here
Aug 10, 2016The VRBO Bear and his family had a great time staying at Elk Meadow Cottage! The Cottage is in a very quiet part of a national forest, which was refreshing and relaxing. The four big bears and two cubs had plenty of room to spread out, including four bedrooms to choose from – each bedroom was unique and delightful. The kitchen was spacious which made preparing meals simple and the living room had enough sitting for all of the bears to gather together to watch TV at night. Elk Meadow Cottage served as a great base for the VRBO Bear and his family to spend their vacation enjoying all the glories of North Arizona!
Exceptional!

Great house for our family stay.
This was a great house for 8 of us to stay in while visiting the Grand Canyon. Beautiful location, clean, well kept up and wonderful stocked. Full kitchen stocked, games, washing machine and dryer, everything we needed. Nice cool sleeping in August.
Peaceful retreat with everything you need
Our family of 8 truly enjoyed our stay. The setting was very private. We didn't see a single person any of the four nights we stayed. We would visit the Grand Canyon during the day, stop in Williams for groceries on the way back, then cook or grill our supper. The kitchen is fully stocked with enough pots, pans, dishes or utensils to comfortably serve a large family. After supper we would play one of the games from the shelves, or watch one of the many DVDs. Our adult kids enjoyed watching some of the wonderful movies from their youth (even though there were plenty of current adult titles, as well). Then we would retire, each to our own corner of the cabin. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.
Arizona adventure
We loved Elk Meadow Cottage! It was the perfect oasis to return to each day after our adventures! Hope to stay there again one day.
Nice Get-A-Way to the Cooler Pines
We enjoyed our stay in at this lovely home in the cool pines of Parks. It was a great location with open space for our kids (9, 12, 14) to spread their wings and explore. We fished at nearby lakes and went on several hikes (Lava Caves is a way to enjoy a few hours and cool off (40 degrees!) during a summer day). The home provided everything we needed from a kitchen that had everything I needed to cook and grill food we brought to shampoo/conditioner/soap in the bathrooms. I can see us coming back for future stays.
Loved it!
The house was beautiful and conveniently located to Flagstaff and The Grand Canyon. We also visited Winslow Arizona so we could stand on the corner :) we had a great time. Thanks Emily!
Absolutely wonderful house, amazing sceneries...PERFECT!
We've stayed at this property twice (so far!), and absolutely loved it each time. The owner has thought of everything you could possibly need and is INCREDIBLY accommodating. Great for traveling with families, kids, or even a couple of families. There are pack-n-plays, booster seats, games, toys, etc...things you wouldn't even expect in a rental. Emily goes above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. It's so relaxing and serene there; the scenery is breathtaking. We were even lucky enough to see wildlife on both trips there. And the outdoor activities that are on the property: swing, hammock, zipline. The kids were in heaven (and so were mom and dad)!! We did a lot of hiking/exploring, and Bearizona is a short drive away. Such a wonderful experience for our family! I cannot stay enough good things about this cottage. We will be back!
Map
Our beautiful cottage has the convenience of being just 5 miles off of I-40 but is quiet and serene beyond compare. There are frequent wildlife sightings!
Located at the Parks Road Exit off I-40, just west of Flagstaff, this home is perfectly situated to allow you to enjoy the smell of the pine trees and the fresh mountain air, yet convenient to Northern Arizona's most spectacular scenery and attractions including the Grand Canyon, Sedona, the Meteor Crater, Painted Desert, and many many more.
Other Activities: Polar Express, Grand Canyon, fishing, wildlife viewing, hiking, Sedona, Historic Williams, Flagstaff, Lowell Observatory.
