Our stay was so lovely. My daughter loved seeing all the animals. So much adventuring to do in this area. Starting with the backyard creek! The cabin itself was so cute and cozy- only wish we brought more people with how much room and fun there was to enjoy! We played uno and relaxed on the back porch and watched the elk.
We spent three amazing weeks here and loved every minute. The kids loved the cool bathtubs and playing in the creek. I loved the trees, the comfy beds, and that the kitchen was well-appointed. We all loved the weather and seeing all the animals and the friendly neighbors.
We had an amazing time at this cabin! We saw elk every morning from the front yard and elk in the evening in the creek. We were able to walk to the little market and the Landmark as well. The cabin was perfect for our little family and we enjoyed our stay tremendously!
My husband and I enjoyed my birthday weekend at this relaxing home in an amazing location! The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We loved being able to bring our dogs along as well. Great location that we appreciated for hiking and off roading. We would definitely stay again. Host was very communicative and friendly. Home was clean and had everything we needed for cooking, etc. thank you again!
My family had a great time at the cabin this weekend. This is our third visit and we love how peaceful the setting is. The cabin is quaint and has everything we need. Thanks for sharing your cabin!
We had a fabulous time at the cabin this weekend. Great location right by the creek. The fire table through enough warmth to still sit outside creekside in the evenings. Thanks for letting us share your slice of heaven!
**Cozy Creekside Cabin in Northern Arizona**
Escape the city at this charming cabin nestled in northern Arizona's tranquil wilderness. Ideal for families, its rustic charm and creekside location offer a relaxing retreat with nearby hiking trails for exploring nature's beauty.
Cute house, amazing location. Dog friendly. Loved the creek in back, so relaxing and beautiful, spent alot of time on outside deck. Home was just as pictures showed, had great character, big and open. Great getaway, near all our favorite spots and could ride our bikes to dinner. Thank you.
Cute cabin and easy access to wildlife and the creek. We had a great time inside and outside. The cabin was clean and well kept. We got to easy elk in the front yard and sit on thr back patio and listen to the creek. The only improvement could be the mattress on the full bed in the room downstairs. Other than that we loved everything about our stay!
The sound of the creek was amazing. The weather was great. My 17 year old daughter loved the loft room. Lots of spider webs but that probably par for the location. Would stay again!
We had a fantastic stay. House was clean, and also a lot bigger then the pictures made it seem. Creek is right outside of the back patio. Elk wandered the roads and even hung out in the front yard eating off the trees. Would definitely recommend!
Don't come here (it is too nice we don't want the word to get out)
You definitely don't want to go to this idyllic, quiet spot right next to the creek, with a perfectly cozy place to get away from everything. The perfect weather, communicative hosts, and nice accommodations are not something you should bother yourself with because it would be a shame if we were unable to come here regularly. Avoid this place so we can keep coming back every year.
The house is just adorable. As soon as we walked in our teenage daughters fell in love. My husband and I Loved the creek in the backyard. It was very relaxing. Having 2 restaurants nearby was a huge plus.
Thank you for allowing us into your space
Lovely home with well stocked kitchen, wonderful deck in the cool pines. Each morning I enjoyed the burbling brook with my coffee, knitting, and the sound of birds. We took hikes in the area and relaxed in the evening after making dinner in the well appointed kitchen. Soaked in the tub after hikes. Highly recommend.
My husband and two adult daughters stayed in this lovely cabin right on the creek for a weekend. The cabin had plenty of room for the four of us, was very well equipped and was very clean. We appreciated that the outdoor furniture was covered as it was raining when we arrived. It allowed us to be able to enjoy the deck after the rain stopped. The cooler weather, beautiful surroundings and sounds of the creek were exactly what we were looking for.
Co•zy. “giving a feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation” is the perfect description of this little gem. My husband and I stayed for a few days mid-week and it was super quiet with a family of elk that roamed the neighborhood. We sat on the deck and listened to the creek, went to the nearby lakes and cooked meals in the well stocked kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay.
The hosts were great to communicate with and we would highly recommend staying here if you are lucky enough to find it open.
Love the location of this cabin, it’s right on the creek. It was nice sitting on the back porch in the morning to enjoy the creek while drinking my coffee. Also within walking distance to a few restaurants and the little store. There’s a little bridge to cross the creek a little ways down the road. Very close to several lakes and hiking trails. We went paddle boarding at a few lakes in the area while here. Went for walks in the evening and saw elk every time.
We came up from Gilbert for my birthday. All I wanted was to wake up to the sounds of nature and a gurgling creek. This home did not disappoint. It's a quaint little place right on Christopher Creek. We spent our entire weekend on the deck enjoying the sounds of birds and flowing water by day and listening to the thunder storms in the evening. There's a little store within walking distance in case you left something at home. There's also a couple of dog-friendly restaurants close by. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay. I don't think the photos do the home justice.
