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!

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!
Beautiful home when it is not 95 degrees
This home is very nice and the owner had it well provisioned for our stay. We picked the wrong week to be Arizona with record temperatures as this house does not have air-conditioning. The owner went out of her way to try to make things more comfortable for us including having someone bring us a pedestal fan for the living room, re-providing us with supplies mid-week and even paid for us to stay in a hotel the last night we were there. We would definitely consider this home again when it is not so hot. The only reason we are not giving this rental a 5 is that there should be something telling you on VBRO that there is no air-conditioning.
Great place for family vacation near the Grand Canyon!
My family of four spent five wonderful nights at this property in June 2017. It is a beautiful house that has everything you need. The photos do not do it justice. The owner, Emily, is very attentive and really easy to work with. Our schedule changed while planning the trip and I was able to add an extra night with no problem. Emily timely responds to e-mails. The house is easily accessible from Flagstaff or Williams and because it is five miles back in the woods it is quiet and wonderful. I woke up the first morning thinking I heard rushing traffic and it was the wind whistling through the pine trees. I spent most mornings out on the porch with my coffee enjoying the lovely views and quiet. We saw lots of deer and even a random cowboy herding cattle out of the hills behind the property. This is a great location to enjoy the sites in this area. We made several trips to the Grand Canyon which is about an hour away. We had a few meals in Williams which is just down the interstate. Williams has the closest grocery store and lots of attractions. You can also buy your entrance pass to the Grand Canyon at the visitor center. (Kids will like Bearizona.) It was also an easy and beautiful day trip to Sedona for a jeep tour. The house had absolutely everything we needed. We've stayed in several houses booked through this site and this home was the best appointed we've had. The beds were comfortable, there is a lot of room in this house, plenty of towels, great water pressure in the showers, new appliances, everything was really clean and very well organized. It had a really well stocked kitchen with everything we needed - including sharp knives. (A rarity in rental properties) Our teenage boys were thrilled to find there was limited internet access so they were able to keep in touch with their friends and use their electronic devices. It would also be a great house for people with small children. There are several separate living space areas, picnic tables and chairs outside, shelves full of board games, toddler toys in a lovely sun room, a see saw, zip line and hammock. This was one of the best rental experiences we have had. I highly recommend this property.
Perfect rental in every detail
This house was fantastic! Emily thought out every detail of what may be needed in a stay and made those things available for use. We've booked many homes through VRBO and never had every detail of needs so well thought out.
Our kids loved the games and activities and especially loved the zip line (despite the cold temps!).
The scenery was beautiful- we saw deer daily, along with other wildlife.
We drove to the Grand Canyon every day and the drive wasn't bad at all.
If we are ever in the area again we'll certainly book this home again. And, we'll refer anyone we know going to that area!
Cozy home in scenic beauty
Excellent experience from start to finish. Emily was a pleasure to work with--very helpful. Our two family's loved the cottage (especially the loft, for our children). It was a great base for viewing the grand canyon, and we delighted in walking the meadows and sitting in front of a cozy fire on our off day. The home has everything needed for a comfortable stay, and we wouldn't hesitate to rent it again.
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.
