Ah!! Peace & Nature among the pines-65 miles to Grand Canyon & 25 to Flagstaff
A cozy mountain cabin retreat located 25 minutes west of Flagstaff (and 65 miles from the Grand Canyon). We like to call our cabin a "Tech Detox" . There is very poor to no cell reception unless on the main road, we don't have WiFi . We do offer TV and bunch of DVDs to watch in case you miss your city life. The cabin stands amidst the Kaibab National Forest on a beautiful slope nestled among the tall pine trees. There is also a slight peek of a mountain view from the kitchen window! The cabin is decorated in true "Northwoods-style" fashion and it is a true nature retreat that gives you the chance to "unplug" from your cell phone, TV and electronic equipment -allowing you to just sip coffee on the large deck while listening to the wind through the pines. We like to call our cabin a "Tech Detox" . There is very poor to no cell reception unless on the main road, we don't have WiFi . We do offer TV and bunch of DVDs to watch in case you miss your city life. You may also enjoy the wood burning stove on chilly days -so romantic! This cabin is fully furnished with a queen size bed and a brand new mattress. There is a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, coffee maker, cooking equipment, toaster oven, fridge/freezer and washer & dryer. There are two comfy recliners and a comfortable sofa where a 3rd person may sleep (it is NOT a pull out bed though). Hot & Cold running water (using a 1000 gallon cistern tank). A modern bathroom as well. The cabin is very very close to a few trail heads where you may mountain bike, hike, cross-country ski or ride horses. There are some ATV trails in the area as well. There is also a portable horse pen for 2-4 horses (additional fee applies if you bring horses). Flagstaff is just 25-30 minutes away and is a great place to experience one of the many unique restaurants/shops. Or you might wish to visit Arizona Snowbowl for some downhill skiing (located right outside of Flagstaff). The cabin is also a fun 25 minutes drive to Williams, AZ and 65 miles from the Grand Canyon. Take a scenic train ride from Williams to Grand Canyon. You will enjoy this historic ride.

We loved our stay at Koko’s cabin. It was the perfect home base for our daily adventure to the Grand Canyon. The drive is about 1.5hrs to and from but totally worth having the solitude and coziness of the cabin after a long day of hiking. Host was very responsive and polite. Would absolutely stay again. What a gem of a property!
We very much enjoyed our stay here. It was very quiet and comfortable. Overall, it was clean and ready for us - the tub needed a little rinsing to get some bugs and lint out. The instructions were accurate to get things going and we didn't need any further contact with the host. While begin away from any large populations, it was still convenient to both Williams and Flagstaff (We particularly liked the diners in Williams). There is a radio in the cabin, but pretty much no signal, which is representative of the experience. If you are happy to disconnect entirely, this would be a great choice.
The location of this cabin is perfect for a getaway from the busyness of life. There is no cell coverage. The cabin is clean with ample supplies. The bed is very comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!
Beautiful cabin. Amazing cedar aroma. Peace and quiet. When we weren’t exploring beautiful flagstaff we were sitting by the fire reading our books. I can’t recommend this place enough!
Koko's Cabin was a wonderful relaxing time away from the busy life!! We decided to spend Thanksgiving in the pines and it didn't disappoint!! We experienced snow, wildlife, and the warm comfort of the cabin and woodburning stove. We loved the bear & wildlife theme, comfortable recliners, old movies and a well staffed kitchen! We will definitely be back when the weather is warmer to experience all that that area offers. Our host was amazing and answered all my questions very efficiently!! Looking forward to our next stay!!
Had a lovely stay at this cabin in the woods. Was nice to get away and have a quiet weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Clean, quiet cabin with all the conveniences. Highly recommend!!
We stayed at Coco’s cabin for a week for our 25th anniversary. We traveled from Pennsylvania! We loved the quiet, rural location, with views of the mountains, fields and wildlife. We visited many Arizona attractions, including the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Petrified Forest, the Meteor Crater, Williams and Flagstaff. All of these amazing things are within an hour and a half of the cabin! The cabin had everything we needed, right down to the pizza cutter, and coffee pot! We needed to get ahold of the Host one time, and he was very responsive, and got back to me right away. I highly recommend if you enjoy being way back a dirt road in the trees! My husband enjoyed the fact there was no phone reception, and work could not get a hold of him! We will definitely stay here again!
Excellence - from booking through entire stay - would return again if just the two of us - wish the other room were available so we could bring others along but I completely understand Owner reasons for not opening it.
Was surprised at how well the cabin was stocked. Everything was there but the food. Will try to plan some time there in summer when we know it will be hot in kingman az and need a break.

Great place to stay if you’re trying to get away from the city life for a bit. Directions too get to the cabin was a bit confusing but managed nonetheless. I would give it a 5/5 stars however, in order to stay warm you have to pay an additional 8$ for wood I would think the wood would come included with the stay since it’s one of the only ways to stay warm throughout the cabin. We managed to stay warm with the two miniature heaters in the bedroom and bathroom.
We enjoyed our stay so much at Koko's cabin. It is in a great location (1.5hr from Sedona and Grand Canyon) but half the time we didn't want to leave since the place was so cute and cozy. Between baking cinnamon buns in the cabin, or going on amazing hikes, this is probably one of the best rentals I have ever stayed at!
Pro tips:
-Bring your warm fuzzy socks in the winter.
-If it's cold out, get the space heaters going as soon as you get there to heat the place up. He gives you three and they work fantastic, but you need to get them going so the place heats up.
-Print off or take screenshots of your directions. I am so thankful I did this because Ramin's directions are better than google maps!
-They are fully stocked in the kitchen, it is best to show up with the bare minimum and see what is there. When we showed up there was coffee, sugar, flour, butter, ect.
Thanks again for hosting us!
A great place with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owner's directions to get to the cabin were just perfect, even for driving in after dark.
Incredible Peaceful and Magnificent week! A majestic experience of God’s creations! Perfect directions, no WiFi was fantastically peaceful. Owner answered all questions promptly and friendly! Definitely would recommend to friends who aren’t afraid to be adventurous.! Close to Williams Az and where we caught the train to Grand Canyon.! Memories to last a lifetime.! Morning coffee on the deck listening to the whispering Pines and drinks in the afternoon watching the sunset over the hills! A superb week that went too fast!!
Location was very good. Instructions on how to find the place were spot on. You have to definitely pay attention to the driving instructions. Cabin was clean and well stocked with everything.
The cabin was just as advertised. Quiet, relaxing, very clean and well equipped. I think the kitchen had more pans that I do at home. :-) We wanted to escape the Las Vegas heat and we certainly were able to do that. My only suggestion would be to have a table on the deck so meals could be enjoyed outdoors.
Nice, clean cabin. If you’re looking for quite & away from the city business.
Very quick in response! Very easy to work with! Great hospitality, fully stocked kitchen & toiletries. Bring food or not. Great little Deli/General Store (Rt 66) just before you head to the property. Pizza, Burgers & very friendly service!!

About the host
Hosted by Ramin Darband
We moved from St Louis MO to Phoenix AZ in 2011. We love it in Phoenix. Some times we miss the green and that is why we bought Koko's cabin. Koko is the name of our horse. She is a rescue horse. We made sure she can stay at our Cabin safe. We love to be at our cabin in hot summer days in Phoenix or in cold winter up in Parks AZ. The wood burning fire place makes that cabin so cozy with some hot "koko". :)
Why they chose this property
This property is nicely on a slope and the terrain is exciting. When you look out of the kitchen you can see the Kendrick mountain. You see all the pine trees. It is breath taking to listen to the wind blowing thru the pine trees. At nights, it is pitch dark. You can see the starts so crisp clear. This is pretty much the wonderful way of being in the nature with the luxury of simple cabin. We just go there to relax. Get out of the day to day hectic and stress. I am so happy that the cell reception is very weak to non existence. You are disconnected from the electronic world. You could drive down the road and you will have some reception. Be conservative with water please. We have a 1000 Gallon Cistern. You can use 100 Gallons per day as included in your rent. Usually that is more than enough for 2 people. After that we have to charge you a small fee of 20 cents per Gallon.
What makes this property unique
You are out there in the forest, yet within 30 minutes you can be in downtown Flagstaff and 65 mils from GRAND CANYON. First Gas station is 6 miles away. There is a McDonald and Subway 10 minutes away. Breathtaking view of starts are right in front of the cabin! Flagstaff downtown 25-30 minutes away. Williams AZ about 25 minutes.
