About this property

Rustic Beauty in the Canyon

Huge windows opening to forest and canyon walls, this rustic, lodge style cabin was custom built with many of the existing trees and local stones. A large fireplace is the focal point of the open great room where the gourmet kitchen and farmhouse table can be accessed. There is a large master bedroom and ensuite bath downstairs as well as two bedrooms, a bath, and a lovely loft upstairs designed for curling up with a book or watching movies from our large collection.

Outside, there is a deck with dining area, lounges and a barbecue. In the side garden, there is a large farm table perfect for alfresco dining.

This quiet and charming historical neighborhood of cabins originated in 1948. It is nestled between Oak Creek on one side and the Coconino National Forest on the other with wonderful hiking trails right out side the door.

Oak Creek Canyon is renowned for its rugged beauty and breathtaking red rocks. The heart of Sedona’s restaurants, galleries and shops is 12 miles south of the cabin and Flagstaff, the gateway to the Grand Canyon, is 12 miles to the north.

The temperature at the cabin is 10 degrees cooler than Sedona, which makes it cool and comfortable in the summer.

Awesome home is quiet area

We loved our stay. The home was just off Oak Creek in the canyon about 15-20 minutes from Sedona. It was well stocked with whatever we needed and was super clean. Communication with the hosts was very fast and easy. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks again!

Charming Canyon Retreat

My wife and I along with our oldest son and daughter in law had the recent privilege of staying in this quaint cabin. The property is just how it appears online and communication with the property manager was a delight. We thoroughly enjoyed the surrounding area that Oak Creek has to offer and the cabin was a welcoming sight at day's end. Warm fires along with great home cooked meals were the highlight. Thank you again Deborah for your wonderful hospitality and a memorable stay!

Spring Break 2024

We had a wonderful stay! The location was fantastic - just a short drive to Sedona and hiking trails. The cabin itself was exactly as pictured, very clean and comfortable. We especially loved the fireplace which kept us warm and cozy on chilly evenings. Overall, this was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape!

Another great winter getaway!

This was our second time staying at the cabin, and we absolutely loved it once again. We had 5 adults, a 4 year old and a 1.5 year old, and it was a perfect fit for our family to celebrate an early Christmas together. The owners were extremely helpful and responsive, the cabin was well stocked and organized, and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend this spot!

Rustic Oak Creek Canyon

Overall, the property was very nice if a bit on the rustic side. It would have been nice to have a shower in the primary suite. Lots of woody charm, but the furniture, particularly the dining room chairs would stick to the floor. Some of the cobwebs should have been dusted away and more or brighter light for evening reading. We enjoyed it very much, a cabin in the in the cool AZ woods with lots of fun stuff to do nearby.

Small piece of paradise!

We had such a wonderful time traveling to Sedona from Austin during quarantine time. Cabin was fabulous, impeccably clean, neighborhood is quiet and wonderful location to Flagstaff and Sedona. We can't wait to return! Owners were outstanding as well, answered all our questions and even shipped me a few things I left behind. Thank you so much!

What an enchanting place

This is a wonderfully decorated, comfortable and unique getaway destination. The pictures do not do it justice. The location is bordering on mystical....large trees and tons of growth in the middle of Arizona. We have already booked a followup location.

Winter Anniversary Getaway

This was a lovely cabin to spend a quiet long February weekend. We especially enjoyed the snow during the day and the fireplace in the evening. Debbie was such a gracious hostess and let us know that due to the weather conditions we may need all-wheel drive/4x4/chains to get into the neighborhood. Location is out of town but close enough for us to enjoy some tasty dining in Sedona. We would recommend this property for anyone looking for peace, quiet, and comfort.

Great rustic cabin in Oak Creek Canyon!

We enjoyed our stay @ this cute cabin. Beautiful views out the windows in the great room. Nice little neighborhood in Oak Creek Canyon to go for a short walk, and close enough to Oak Creek to fish. My teenagers loved it & caught a couple of trout! We also enjoyed grilling out dinner one evening on their back patio. Their cabin has everything you need to make a nice meal. It was a wonderful, relaxing stay! Thank you for sharing your very special place with others!

familiar place

I grew up in Pine Flats and love it up there. The cabin was in a perfect location for me. The deck on the back was great to sit on day or night. We took walks down to the creek and around the area. Lots of activity going on at the community/church center for the 4th of July! So happy that we were able to enjoy time with my grandkids and my daughter. Looking forward to going again.

Family Getaway

We had a wonderful visit at the house in the canyon. We cooked, baked, played games, and played in the water. One enjoyable surprise was the community activity at the outdoor chapel next door to the property. What fun! We also went and had breakfast at one of the places that Deborah recommended. It was excellent! Thank you for being available and for allowing us to stay in your canyon retreat.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location

The location is excellent! Couple hours from the Grand Canyon, 40 min or so from Flagstaff and 20 min or so to the center of Sedona. It sits at a slightly higher elevation than Sedona so we had sunshine and clear skies in town but a bit of snow at the house. The nearby creek made for wonderful afternoon walks. The house is fully stocked with anything you may need; dishes, bedding, etc. I highly recommend this house and look forward to our next visit!

Healing Escape from the City

Deborah’s family cabin is decorated charmingly beautiful. The trees are gorgeous and provide the perfect escape from the city life. It’s so quiet and peaceful. Daily walks and hiking in the little neighborhood was just what the doctor ordered 😊! The beds were comfy and a full kitchen allowed us to cook all of our meals at the cabin. We drank the water straight from the tap and it was amazing! Thank you Deborah for another sweet family memory at your cabin!

Special place in a beautiful place

Deborah, Thank you for sharing Windy Rock cabin with my family. What a serene and beautiful place in one of the most beautiful canyons in the world. We had everything we needed, especially the fireplace which was awesome. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay. Your kind communications made us feel at home. If we are fortunate enough to pass that way again this is where we would want to stay. Thanks again. Terry Stringer and Family

Oak Creek delight

The cabin, nestled in the upper reaches of Oak Creek, provided a great home base for our sibling reunion (4). We enjoyed the outside deck- including the grill - and the comfortable, open space living room/dining room/kitchen provided a perfect setting for cooking together, ongoing conversation, and birthday celebrations. The cabin is as described on site. The house, near to the West Fork hike trailhead , provides an entry point for area creek hikes and neighborhood walks through the Pine Flat. The owners checked in, via email, during our stay and provided all the information needed to find and enjoy the cabin.

Why they chose this property

We built this cabin together as a family with our then 10 and 5 year old children

What makes this property unique

It is so rejuvenating being in the forest with birds and forest creatures. Great hiking is right outside with all the beauty and tranquility you could ask for. We are so lucky to have the creek on one side and the forest on the other of our little hideaway.
