Advertise your cabin on our travel site, Flagstaff.com, for a mere $450 for the entire summer!  That’s a $100 savings on five months of high volume (read: 32,000 visitors a month!), cost-efficient marketing you can’t find anywhere else.

Read more about advertising your Flagstaff cabin on northern Arizona’s leading community and travel website, Flagstaff.com!

And if you’re one of those sweltering summer travelers looking to cool off in the Flagstaff pines, check out our directory of Flagstaff cabins.

While canceled meetings and scaled-back corporate events may be hurting this and other local Scottsdale resorts and hotels, the silver lining message for locals is that more hotel room inventory and the normally slower summer season here (Christmas has come early!) – which translates to super-great deals on backyard resort getaways and “staycations” that we Scottsdale locals have taken advantage of for years.

Support our Arizona hospitality industry and book your spring and summer “staycation” today.  Check out sites like our scottsdalephoenix.net for a terrific list of luxurious Scottsdale and Phoenix resorts that you can experience for sometimes less than half of their high-season rates.
