About this property

Perfect home base for family adventures! Gorgeous, private, clean! 20 min to FLG

In the middle of it all, yet away from it all... Elk Meadow Cottage is truly the best of both worlds. Our house is 5 miles north of I-40 and bordered on 3 sides by the Kaibab National Forest, giving you privacy, peace, and quiet. Yet, it is also conveniently located just 20 minutes from Flagstaff and Williams and just over an hour from the Grand Canyon and Sedona! There is so much to do and see in Northern Arizona and Elk Meadow Cottage is the perfect home base for your adventures.

Our Cottage is nicely furnished, has new, top quality linens, and is kept in immaculate condition. We disinfect and sanitize thoroughly between guests. We have many fun outdoor activities as well, including a hammock, slack line, swing, frisbee golf, and horseshoes.

The master bedroom features a king bed (with new mattress) and adjoining bath with jetted soaking tub. Upstairs are 3 more bedrooms plus a 2nd full bath. Kids love sleeping and playing in the "secret" loft space.

Perfect location for your base camp for all the attractions and natural wonders that Northern Arizona has to offer. Access to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Slide Rock Park, Polar Express & North Pole Experience, Grand Canyon Railway, 5 area fishing lakes, and several golf courses.

Relax by the fireplace with a book or enjoy one of the many family friendly movies and games provided. BBQ on our outdoor grill and dine on the deck under the pines. Cool, fresh, pine scented mountain air in this wooded setting in the Kaibab Nat'l Forest at 7500 ft. The home is located in an area known for wildlife viewing, views of the San Francisco peaks, and access to miles and miles of hiking / biking / cross country skiing trails.

All the creature comforts you expect in a fine vacation home are here for you and are detailed in the property description.

Please read through our reviews. Our guests LOVE the property!

**Please note that we have 3 security cameras mounted on the front of our house, which provide surveillance of our driveway.

Perfect place in the mountains.
My family and I stayed at this property because it was a perfect distance away from the Grand Canyon railway. I didn’t expect this property to be one of the best parts of our trip. My daughter is nine years old and was in awe from the minute we walked in. From the playroom downstairs, the loft and bunk bed with all the toys she could dream of, and to all the toys that were outside, it seems that everything was thought of. We were lucky enough to be there when it snowed and it was absolutely beautiful. My daughter had never experienced snow before and there were sleds and toys for her to use. It definitely created a core memory for her. The house was well labeled and instruction manual had pictures and were extremely clear. The only downfall was that that the Internet wasn’t great, but that’s to be expected when you were tucked away next to the mountains. We would definitely return and stay here again!

Everything you need for kids!
We had 4 adults, and 3 kids under 3 during our stay & had more than enough space for everyone! We forgot a couple of items for the kids but the cabin ended up having everything we needed (white noise machines, stools in the bathrooms). We didn’t even have to break out our own toys because the toy room was fully stocked. Check-in and check-out processes were super clear! Some other things that surprised us: WiFi works for browsing but not for streaming. Keurig is available with an option to add your own grounds. Firewood was provided. There’s a cool kids loft in one bedroom. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful Family Home
The house is beautiful especially with all the snow we got to be in and play in. Great for family with kids. Has a cute nook with toys for kids. Even a loft in the upstairs bedroom. Only 20 minutes to Bearizona & the Grand Canyon Deer Farm. Would definitely book again.

Perfect property for a family getaway
This house has it all. It’s clean, inviting, and the land surrounding it is just so beautiful! There is a trail right behind it that takes you through the beautiful pine trees. The outdoor play area and play room was much enjoyed by our two year old son. There’s enough room for a family of ten easily, the four of us enjoyed it very much ! Not to mention Emily is very good at communicating and very sweet. We will definitely be returning in the near future with grandma and grandpa !

About the host

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 17 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!
