House is impeccable, and perfectly outfitted as advertised. The instructions are approachable and welcoming rather than admonishing. The hosts have paid attention to every detail. For example the bird feeder! The kitchen contains exactly what a rental should contain, It’s situated right in the forest at a trail head. I would absolutely stay here again and again.

Great place to relax

The home was very clean, well stocked with supplies for guest to use and had a book with detailed instructions on everything the home offered. Lots of room for everyone to spread out and relax. Plenty of outside activities like horse shoes, a slack line, a hammock and disc golf net. The patio was spacious with a nice grill facing the woods. The deer came by in the evenings and multiple species of birds visited the bird feeder in the dinner table window. Great escape for large groups and we will for sure be back!

Perfect family getaway!

We had the best time! The house had tons of room for everyone to sleep, lots of board games, DVDs to watch, bird watching supplies, journals, and a bath tub with jets! My favorite thing about it though, was the wrap around patio. We drank cocoa and coffee and watched the snow fall. It was beautiful!

Forest retreat

Cabin was perfect, location was ideal. Family enjoyed the hammock the most. The kids enjoyed the hide-away loft the most! Played poker every night with their poker set next to the indoor wood-burning fire place. Trail head right outside the gate took us to see deer, a stray calf, and antelope. Faulty bathroom sink faux-door that fell on my toe and couldn’t get the living room DVD player to work were the only cons! Would definitely stay here again!

Great place!

The property is great, we had fun feeding birds and hiking in the area. Kids adored the loft, it is super cool! They were bummed about the Zipline being down but there were so many other things to do both inside and outside. Kitchen was awesome, made lots of food. Thanks so much for letting us experience your place!

Amazing Family Home

This house is amazing for a family with kids. The house included many movies, games, indoor and outdoor games and activities, and the loft is a great place for kids to hang out. The amenities in the house are very well-labeled and abundant. The items provided are above and beyond other houses where I’ve stayed. The seating in the living room and dining area match the number of sleeping spaces. We had an amazing time. Thank you!!

Great Place to Stay Near Grand Canyon for Big Groups!

We really enjoyed our stay here as a group of friends coming to relax, and see the Grand Canyon. It was very clean, nice big cozy rooms and beds, and a big open living room, kitchen and dining room area. We loved all the wildlife we got to see, and the fact that it was right next to a trailhead! had everything we needed, coffee, hot water, clean bathrooms, quiet, soft towels, and privacy for bigger groups. Will definitely have to come back again!!

Wonderful house for a family vacation!

The house is beautiful and well-furnished for a family stay. There are outdoor and indoors games and toys, board games, kid books, stepping stools for the bathroom, and everything you need to stay with young kids. The surroundings are QUIET and peaceful. We could see some wild animals from the big picture window by the dining table. Everything was very clear. There are kitchen basics and everything was in good shape. If you just wanted to go and hang out with family, this would be a great place by itself. But, it is also in an excellent location to drive up to see the Grand Canyon and other parks, sites, and attractions! We would absolutely recommend this place to others and would stay here again if opportunity takes us back to northern Arizona!
