Your Cabin in the Pines

This gorgeous cabin has been completely remodeled with new appliances and modern amenities while retaining a cozy cabin feel. Three bedrooms plus a queen sofa sleeper in the living room means plenty of room for the whole crew.

Direct forest access just steps away provides ample opportunities to explore the many walking trails available. Located on the edge of Munds Park on a corner lot with only one adjacent neighbor — and just two properties separating you from the Coconino National Forest — the location is quiet and peaceful with minimal traffic.

Enjoy stargazing from the main patio or the 2nd story primary bedroom balcony. With Sedona and Flagstaff both just minutes away, you'll have easy access to hiking, shopping, dining, and exploring — with the peace and quiet of the forest waiting for you when you return.

Just 50 feet from the cabin, a private gate opens directly into the Coconino National Forest hiking trails. Nature walks and big game watching adventures are right outside your doorstep — no driving required. Spot elk, deer, and wild turkey as you explore miles of pristine forest trails.
