I was fortunate to be able to stay several nights in one of our advertising client’s vacation cabins just outside Flagstaff this week. Though I have been to Flagstaff many, many times, this was my first vacation stay in a Flagstaff cabin and I have to tell you, I LOVED it.
My Flagstaff cabin getaway was just like being at home, and not at all like being at home.
The cabin had a convenient location, about 8 miles south of Flagstaff, making it easy to run into town for groceries, a couple nice meals out, and general sightseeing ventures.
Was the cabin 5-star? Well, no. But Hello….iT’S A CABIN in the woods. Instead of a personal valet, I had primeval ponderosas ever standing by; in place of French linen spray, my room was infused with cool, alpine breezes; and rather than a fancy Hammacher-Schlemmer white noise machine set to “rainstorm,: I slept to the music of an actual rainstorm.
In short, the cabin was outfitted with the kind of amenities designed to be just like being at home, and not at all like being at home.
Here are some of my photos from the trip… I couldn’t take enough photos of the lovely wildflowers on the hiking trail that originates in the cabin’s backyard, nor a storm that rolled in across the meadow in front of the cabin, nor the morning fog that settled in the wide open field, over which a big red barn presides.The pastoral imagery-brought-to-life was just too much to capture with my point-and-shoot, but you get the idea.
A big thank you to Arizona Vacation Rental Homes (www.arizonavacationrentalhomes.com) for encouraging my vacation buddies and me to come stay in your charming property. The stay was a welcome break from the “seasonably warm” temps in the Phoenix Valley. This blog post was not solicited in any way… I just enjoyed my summer getaway and want other locals and visitors to give Arizona Vacation Rental Homes or any other Flagstaff cabin rental companies a thought when planning a trip to Flagstaff.

Hi,
I just stumbled across your website/blog and I like it very much. Your post about watching Forest Gump for the 10th time made me laugh – that is my favorite movie! Would you mind if I put a link to your site on my blogroll? I am trying to find other people discussing Arizona travel and list them on my site. Thank you. Nichole
Hi, Nichole! Thanks for your comment. Glad you got a giggle out of Greg’s post. We would be thrilled to have a place on your blogroll – thank you! I encourage our readers to return the favor and check out azroadtrips.com for some great Arizona travel ideas.
The place looks very beautiful. It is not a bad idea to have one rental cabin and enjoy all while down there. Need to mark down for future reference.
