The owner was very prompt and helpful when responding to our initial query, and made booking the rental very easy for us first timers from the UK.
The property was as described in the listing. It has 2 spacious double bedrooms (one of which is a mezzanine over the living area) and a 3rd room with 2 single beds. There is a spacious deck at the front of the property which has a sitting/eating area and a gas barbecue which we used liberally for grilling our steaks after a busy day of sight seeing. The heating in the property was excellent and we were warm and toasty at all times.
We found the property clean and well stocked with a plentiful supply of clean towels. During our stay the owner was responsive to any queries we had.
The property was located in the Kachina area about 10mins from central Flagstaff. We found this location great for our needs as we could easily access shops/amenities of flagstaff but still felt 'away from it all'. We mostly ate in the cabin but did venture out to one restaurant in flagstaff called 1889 bar & grill which was good.
Whilst staying here we managed to easily visit the grand canyon, painted desert, petrified forest, red rocks at sedona, sunset crater and Bearizona. We spent the 2nd week of our holiday here following our first week in Scottsdale. We found it it an easy 2 hour drive between Scottsdale and Flagstaff.
There are quite a few steps outside the property to gain access and the 3 bedrooms are over 3 floors, so would not recommend for those with mobility issues, apart from this I would highly recommend to friends.

We stayed at this cabin for a weekend of equestrian competitions at the fairgrounds. Girls weekend was so much more fun than staying at a hotel. The cabin was wonderful, clean, and everything we needed for R&R after the day competing! Thank you Eve! We will be back next year for sure!!

comfortable but not what we expected

this property has 3 bd and 3 baths and was very roomy and comfortable. kitchen is stocked well. it is very convenient to flagstaff and surrounding areas. could have used ceiling fans in the bedrooms. the neighborhood was less isolated than we expected. from the pictures it appears it's in the woods but actually it's in a mountain neighborhood and the houses are pretty close together. just not as woodsy as we wanted. great deck but it faces the street rather than the woods out back. just depends on what you want out of your time away.
