Looking for a family-friendly weekend getaway? This is the cabin for you – with a beautiful location to boot!

My boyfriend and I loved this spacous cabin with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious deck. It has a large living space with spectacular views, oversized windows with a lot of natural light, a fully equipped kitchen, and great Wi-Fi. Don’t forget the washer and dryer (very useful!).

I personally love the master bedroom with a king-sized bed. And there are kid’s toys and games also available for families. The cabin has room for eight guests.

We spent most of our time on the beautiful wrap-around deck, enjoying outdoor eating, grilling, and the relaxing view.

This is a perfect place for visiting the Coconino National Forest and Downtown Flagstaff, especially if you love hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife exploring or winter sports like snowmobiling.

This was our favorite secluded cabin and one of Arizona’s most luxury cabin rentals.

Here is why you’ll love staying here:

• All the comforts: You will love all the comforts of this home, modern furniture, spacious deck, and quiet neighborhood – we did.
• The location: The cabin is near downtown Flagstaff where you can enjoy fun restaurants and shops or enjoy the nearby hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife trails.
• The host: Brad is a great host that responds quickly and makes accommodations for his guests. Top service!

It’s hard to find faults with such a great cabin rental. We only wished there was an outside fire area for a fire pit to enjoy at night.

Pros:

• Light up the grill on the spacous outdoor deck.
• Explore the fun shops and restaurants in Flagstaff – minutes away!
• Enjoy the sound of the birds and the trees with your morning coffee.
• Prepare a romantic meal in the fully stocked and modern kitchen.
• Go for a hike or mountain biking!

Cons:

• The cabin doesn’t have a fire pit – for a fun bonfire.

This secluded cabin is truly special, and the entire structure and surroundings are incredible.

It’s also our close second pick.

The interior is incredible. We love the open floor plan with a spacious living area and dining area, floor-to-ceiling windows with a lot of natural light, and the fully equipped kitchen.

On a cold evening, you can cuddle up next to the fireplace and play board games (provided.)

This log cabin has it all!

Tall lush trees surround the private property, and there is a beautiful view from the spacious deck. (We loved the beautiful sunrises with a cup of hot chocolate – in hand!)

The grocery store is close by, so a supply run is easy. Downtown Prescott is only minutes away.

We also tried some hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, and fishing at the nearby Goldwater Lake and Prescott National Forest; so much fun!

Don’t miss the short drive out to the Grand Canyon National Park, the Sitgreaves National Forest, and Lynx Lake.

This is a top Arizona cabin rental for many reasons.

Here are some that will make you want to book:

• The Location: We enjoyed being so close to downtown yet secluded in a forest setting. The cabin is close to great destinations like Lynx Lake and even the Grand Canyon National Park.

• Nearby activities: Whether you want to visit the Grand Canyon, go hiking, horseback riding, fishing, swimming, or kayaking – you can do it all from this cabin.

This forest-surrounded cabin rental is one of our favorites. But before you book, remember that there are many stairs (which can be a problem for those with limited mobility and small children.) Also, prepare for the mountain road that leads to the log cabin.

Pros:

• Take a day trip to the Grand Canyon.
• Try nearby horseback riding.
• Enjoy all the lake activities.
• Light up the grill and enjoy a peaceful outdoor meal.
• Enjoy playing games or a glass of wine next to the fireplace.

Cons:

• There is a typical mountain road to the log cabin – and part of it is a dirt road.
• It’s a multi-level home with lots of stairs (but this didn’t bother us!)
