Perfect home base for family adventures! Gorgeous, private, clean! 20 min to FLG
Privacy and peace in the Kaibab National Forest — yet only 20 minutes from Flagstaff and Williams. Just over an hour to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. This is a genuinely great home base for exploring Northern Arizona, and guests keep coming back for it.
• The location: Surrounded by ponderosa pines on three sides at 7,500 ft, 5 miles north of I-40 — the forest is literally your backyard and both side yards. There are neighbors across the street, but it's a quiet, rural area and you'll forget they're there. Trailhead starts at the front door. Wildlife wanders through regularly — deer in the yard is pretty normal here. Quick access to Grand Canyon, Sedona, Slide Rock, Williams, Polar Express, North Pole Experience, Grand Canyon Railway, and Bearizona.
• The house: 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, sleeps up to 12. King master downstairs with jetted tub + standing shower. Also downstairs: the Rt 66 Room — a cozy hangout space with a TV, hundreds of DVDs, board games, a small table, and a queen futon, great for movie nights or extra sleeping space. Upstairs: the Red Bedroom (queen, built-in library full of books), the Twin Room (2 separate twin beds + a twin trundle), and the Bunk Room — which has a twin over double bunk AND a secret loft hidden inside the closet. Kids find it every time. *Base rate covers up to 8 guests — a small per-person fee applies for guests 9–12.*
• The great room: Open to the kitchen, with a Vermont Castings wood stove, a spinning armchair that faces either the couch or the fire (guests always mention it), and doors that open to the back deck. The sun room off the main living area has rocking chairs and a few toys for little ones.
• The kitchen: Fully stocked with newer appliances and granite countertops. Dining table seats 8+, with views out the back window into the trees — you'll likely see wildlife while you're eating breakfast.
• Outside: Wrap-around porch, a big back deck with BBQ and dining table, and a hand-built picnic table made from the trees that were cut to build the house. Plus hammock, swing, slack line, frisbee golf, and horseshoes. The San Francisco Peaks are visible on a clear day.
• Family extras: Queen air mattress, pack n play, and crib mattress available for little ones.

*One note: we have 3 security cameras on the front of the house covering the driveway.*

Beautiful home tucked away in a peaceful setting. You can tell lots of special memories have been made here! Lots of room for our group of 8 with comfy beds and flexible sleeping options. The kids loved the Legos and bird feeder outside the dining window. Perfect home base for our adventures in northern AZ.
It was a wonderful experience! We spent a wonderful and memorable weekend my small family husband, adult kids, and my mom. It was a decent distance to Grand Canyon and Sedona! Thank you
This was the absolute best place, I just had a feeling it was going to be perfect for a small Christmas vacation with the family and it was even more perfect than I ever could have imagined the whole family had a blast the kids were never bored and it was absolutely beautiful inside and out we can not wait to book again next year!
Beautiful home with plenty of space for everyone. The primary bed was extremely comfortable and much appreciated. Plenty of spaces for kids to have their own places to hang out away from the adults. Quiet and secluded. Exactly what we were looking for to escape the busy city.
House and host were awesome ideal for a family vacation. This house has everything you need to feel at home.Host and owners take very good care of their guests and property. Great location 20 minutes from Flagstaff and Williams with a deli, gas station, and general store minutes away.
Host was amazing and the kitchen was great had all the necessary spices and more plenty of everyday essentials I felt right at home. Also loved the whole vibe and ambiance of the house exactly what we were looking for. A little snow would have been the cherry on top but still a great overall stay. Thank you.
Such a great cabin. Very clean, fully stocked, super organized. Host was very responsive and helpful. The most kid friendly cabin we’ve ever stayed at, the kids can’t wait to come back!
Fabulous stay! House is so prepared for families. They have everything you could possibly need for your stay! Highly recommend, plan to stay there again.
The house was in a beautiful and peaceful location, fully immersed in nature—perfect for anyone needing a break from busy life. It had everything we needed and was the ideal place to share quality time with family. I would definitely recommend it!
This was a great property to stay at! House was clean and stocked with everything we could want. It was convenient to get to Grand Canyon and Williams but secluded enough to feel like a private getaway. The host was easy to communicate with and had everything written out for us once we got there. Overall excellent vacation experience!
The stay was great, very quiet and very peaceful. Very clean. and perfect to spend a good time with the family

Well equipped house, very spacious and comfortable. Would go back again. If you love birds, this is your place. They give you bird seed and there are a ton of species - so very cool.

Family friendly property, conveniently located near Williams and Flagstaff. Lots of thoughtful amenities throughout the house like sound machine and toiletries. Very responsive host. Thank you!
This home was very warm and welcoming. Stocked with everything you need for your stay, including a stocked kitchen, board games, toddler & kid toys, kids loft area and much more. The bird feeder hanging outside the large dining room window was really fun to watch all the different birds come to eat. We felt right at home and enjoyed making wonderful memories with our children and grandson. It was very nice enjoying quiet time on the deck and taking in the cooler weather. Thank you, we can't wait to stay again.
Property was great, weather nice and cool, had a wonderful relaxing long weekend in the Pines.

About the host
Hosted by 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 20 years and have four kids. 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!! :-)
Why they chose this property
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 property 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!
