We just came home from a great week at Elk Meadow. The cottage was clean, had more than enough space for the five of us and was in a great location. Our children loved playing in the games room and in the loft area.

There is so much to do around the area. We went to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Petrified Forest, Walnut Canyon, Meteor Crater and there was still so much that we could have done. Thank you Jody for your advise and recommendations.

The kids loved getting the junior ranger badges. The Parks in Canada don't offer these, I wish that they did. If you have time to listen to the ranger talks, you should.

If you stay at this cottage, you will not be disappointed!

We really enjoyed staying in this home while visiting the Grand Canyon. It was a very welcoming and relaxing home. Everything was in perfect order. My parents stayed downstairs and my husband, daughter and I stayed upstairs. Our daughter loved the game room. There was plenty of room and we had everything we needed.

We spent a week seeing the sights. We took the Grand Canyon Railway to the Grand Canyon on our first day because it was rainy and cold. The next day we returned to the park by car. We spent the next day on a LONG trip to the North Rim. It was oh so worth it. Beautiful, and something we really wanted to do. We spent a day seeing the sights around Flagstaff--Walnut Canyon, Sunset Crater, Wupatki Monument. We spent a day at The Petrified Forest. We were able to do everything we planned to do.

Special thanks to Jody who made this trip possible for us. We really appreciate your help!

Our family enjoyed a wonderful weekend at this property. This is a very nice place with lots of upgrades and lots of space. Our kids loved the outdoor and being so close to hiking trails and fishing lakes. This would be a fantastic place for a winter getaway as well.

We had a GREAT time staying at Elk Meadow Cottage! There were six of us all total. The house was pretty and it had everything we needed. It is situated in such a great part of the State of Arizona. We used it as our base camp to travel out every day to a different location, the furthest being Page Az., but we always had breakfast and dinner at "home". We also made sure that two of those days we got "home" early just to hike the trails right around the house and see the wildlife right in our backyard. Elk, Mule Deer, Fox, Chipmunks and Jays visited us everyday just about. We landed in Phoenix on a Saturday morning, drove to Parks and stopped along the way to see Montezumas Castle and Well, then through Sedona, shopped at Walmart for foodstuffs and settld into Elk Meadow. Sunday was a trip to the Grand Canyon, (1hr), Monday was Painted Desert/Petrified Forest and Meteor Crater (1 1/2 drive), Tues, up to page to raft the Colorado (3hr drive) stopped along the way to see the Dinosaur Tracks near Tuba city, Wednesday, Walnut Canyon, Sunset Crater and Slide Rock (all within 45 minutes of each other), Thursday, hoover Dam and Oatman (2 1/2 hrs to Dam), Friday back to the GC to say good-bye. Saturday Travel back to Phoenix and back Home........what a great trip and what a great house...we even celebrated my daughters 10th birthday that week in the house! I cant wait to go back to Parks Arizona! Thanks Jody and Bob.

We couldn't have asked for anything nicer for the start of our vacation than to be close to the Grand Canyon, and at the same time in a beautiful location secluded from the busy city. In just a few days, we were able to travel around the area and do some wonderful sightseeing, including the new Bearizona, the Deer Farm Petting Zoo, not to mention the Grand Canyon. All were a short drive - the kids loved the various things to see that they didn't have to sit in the car for 4 hours to get to. The house was beautiful and relaxing. Board games were supplied to keep the kids entertained in the evening, and a fully stocked kitchen made dinner and breakfast easier. We even had a chance to BBQ dinner one evening on the patio. Thanks to the Glasers for making their home available. It made our trip a lot more enjoyable.

Pictures do not do the cabin justice. Perfect house in a perfect setting. Visited at the end of July. Weather was fantastic. Hiked the Kaibab forest - trail starts right next to the house. Sat out every morning and had coffee on the back portch while looking at the beautiful mountains in the backyard. Saw a herd of Elk in the forest. Chipmonks, squirrels and lots of birds flock around the house. Did day trips to Grand Canyon, Sedona, Flagstaff, Williams and much more. All easy to get to and close proximity. Grilled on the porch at night. Slept soundly. Owners were VERY attentive and accomodating. They also provided excellent sightseeing hotspots (think we did them all). Go and you won't regret it. Thanks again for a WONDERFUL time.

If you're planning a family vacation with small children, the Elk Meadow Cottage is the perfect vacation home! Our family of four (mom and dad and two boys, ages 8 and 4) spent six days in Northern Arizona this summer, and the Elk Meadow Cottage was an ideal home base for all of our sightseeing adventures.

The house is better than advertised. The setting is serene and idyllic -- you're nestled away in the forest, just far enough away from the hustle and bustle. You'll love the peace and quiet.

And once you're inside, the house is big and cozy at the same time. The house is beautifully furnished, and with plenty of bedrooms, a game room, a family room, and two big bathrooms, you're not going to want to leave!

The owners really make sure everything is prepared for your visit. The house is immaculate and well-maintained. All the amenities are there -- a big kitchen, plenty of clean towels, and a convenient laundry room. You'll be ready for anything you've got planned on your vacation.

We visited several major attractions in the area (Grand Canyon, Slide Rock Park, Sedona, Flagstaff, Meteor Crater) and after each busy day of sightseeing, it was great to return to the cabin in the woods.

You'll love the town of Williams (just 20 minutes away) -- great shops and restaurants, lots of Route 66 folklore, and the Grand Canyon Train (great fun!). And be sure to catch the gunfights too.

We couldn't have been more pleased with our Northern Arizona vacation...so many great memories. If you're planning a Grand Canyon getaway, you've got to stay at the Elk Meadow Cottage!

We loved the house. It was just as described and a very good fit for our group of adults and teenagers. The kitchen was well equiped with dishes and accessories. We loved the location and enjoyed our visit to the Grand Canyon and surrounding attractions. We would recommend this house and would love to return some day.
Hopefully, future renters will not have to deal with the housekeeper! She was not helpful and, in fact, very rude! Even though the number of people in our group was provided on the reservation, there were not enough bath towels upon our arrival. I made a friendly call to her to find out where I could find another towel. She told me where to look...none. She then said she would try to get to the house the next afternoon. My "sixth" person would not have a clean towel. She then slammed/hung up the telephone in my ear and was rude/sullen when she did arrive at the house to leave out the towel. Wouldn't it be easier to provide extra towels in the bathroom cabinets so that renters would not have to deal with this woman or, perhaps get a new housekeeper?
On the other hand, the home owner was very nice and easy to deal with during the reservation.
