Escape the heat! PERFECT for families! ***Ask about last minute deals!***

Perfect house with lots of amenities and felt like home!

Let me start by saying that we spend over 100 nights a year away from home due to work travel and family vacations and trips. We have stayed in VRBO/Homeaway properties all over the USA. This place was one of the best we have ever stayed in. The home is super spacious, nicely appointed and super clean. The location is very easy to find and in the center of many attractions. We enjoyed Route 66 and the delightful town of Williams (15 minutes away), The Grand Canyon (1 hour and 15 minutes away) Sedona/Cottonwood (45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes away) and Flagstaff (20 minutes away). The furnishings inside and outside the home were comfortable and well maintained. The linens and towels were new, nice and upscale. Plenty of paper and bathroom products were provided. The kitchenware was in good condition and repair and every utensil and applicance or baking item that you might need was on location and in easily marked drawers/cupboards. The communication with the owner was top notch. Emily welcomed us when we got there (via text), was available via phone/text when we had questions and worked non-stop to take care of a slight issue we had during the stay - making sure it was taken care of above and beyond what we could have expected. Our 5 kids loved each having their own sleeping space - one slept in the den, one in the loft and 1 in each of the upstairs bedrooms. They also loved the outdoor amenities - slack line, zip line, hammock, seesaws etc. They enjoyed the many games provided and we all enjoyed the deck and porch. Beautiful and serene location with privacy and nature, but close to conveniences as well. We greatly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great retreat in the area. We enjoyed staying in at the home as much as traveling to the many sights and activities in the area, It was that nice! Thanks Emily and family for sharing this treasure with travelers.

Property was well stocked for cooking and entertainment after day long hiking. Very nice experience all around.

Everything about our time in this beautiful home was perfect! We stay in vacation rentals quite often, yet none of them match the cleanliness and organization of this home. Whatever you need is at your fingertips. The owners have simply thought of everything. We were even welcomed with a beautiful vase of wildflowers on the table! Detailed directions and a notebook full of useful information got our stay off to a wonderful start. There is plenty of storage for food in the pantry, and the refrigerator and freezer were spotless and ready to be filled. Both of these are important to us as we have a child with life threatening food allergies and bring all of our own food with us on vacations. The beds were numerous and quite comfortable. There was more than enough space for our items and yet, had we forgotten anything, I think we would have been able to find an extra one in this well stocked home! No need to pack shampoo as even that was provided. The owners have been meticulous ensuring that every need is met. They have thought of even the smallest detail including a fresh sponge for washing dishes, a variety of coffee, extra batteries for flashlights, and even a fanny pack for when we went on a walk and realized we hadn't packed one. As if that wasn't enough, the wraparound porch and back patio provided the perfect spot to relax and enjoy an afternoon rainstorm, eat breakfast, and play board games. When we did have a question, Emily was immediately available and incredibly helpful. This was the most relaxing vacation we've had in years. We are already checking our schedules and calendars to plan our next visit.

This property popped up during a search, as a possible match based on my criteria. It ended up being the perfect location for a quick weekend getaway. We had plenty of room for four adults and four kids. The home was clean and met all of our needs from the kitchen supplies to toys for the littles. Best of all, the owner was responsive and very accommodating which was so appreciated considering our last minute request. I’m sure we will return.

Everything about our stay was amazing! The cottage was beautiful! Emily is a great hostess! The location of the home, & surrounding scenery was absolutely breathtaking! There are hiking trails right outside the door. We took this trip to celebrate my youngest starting college & my fathers retirement. Once we got to the cottage we were not disappointed, & we canceled “ALL” of our plans to site see the near by towns. We just wanted to enjoy what Elk Meadow had to offer. Our trip was amazing and our family memories will always be cherished. I’ve never seen my parents so happy & relaxed. Elk Meadows Cottage will always be close to my heart & I hope Emily will allow us to return again soon! Thank you Emily for the priceless memories & sharing your piece of heaven with my family!!!
