Relaxing homebase for Williams, Grand Canyon, Bearizona, Flagstaff and Sedona

Welcome to The Gateway Cottage! Our beautiful privately owned upscale 1765 sf  "cottage" is situated on an acre of cool pines at above 7000' altitude in Northern Arizona, where you can slow down, take in the serenity of the forest and the clean, fresh air while the kids enjoy the swingset. In November, 2024, living room furniture was updated with a new sleeper sectional and matching chair, as well as a tv cabinet, bathroom vanity and light fixture. Our home is located just minutes east of Williams, "the Gateway to the Grand Canyon", where you will find plenty of shopping for most anything you need. The Deer Farm is under 10 minutes from our property, Bearizona and Canyon Coasters are 15 minutes away, as well as the Grand Canyon Railway/Polar Express. It's an easy 45 minute/60 mile drive to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, with Flagstaff 25 minutes and Sedona being an hour away, it makes this home a great central location!! Hunting and fishing, hiking and off road trails are all nearby. There are multiple lakes in the area: Kaibab, Dogtown, Cataract, Whitehorse, and Buckskinner Park to name a few. Our home has 2 KING bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus a sleeping loft with one QUEEN bed and one TWIN bed. Downstairs living room has a QUEEN sleeper sofa. We do furnish a pack-n-play crib, high chair and booster seat for the tiny guests. We can comfortably accommodate up to 9 adults. We're sorry, as a courtesy to homeowners/guests with allergies, WE DO NOT HOST PETS OR SERVICE/ESA OF ANY KIND. We do welcome adults, children and hunters!
See the stars through the skylights from the new king size bed in the master and the new queen bed in the loft. Both king bedrooms have a tv and dvd player, first floor bedroom has a vcr as well, and an assortment of vhs and dvd movies. The fully stocked kitchen includes everything you need, bring your groceries and make a simple or gourmet meal. The laundry room includes linens and towels. Outside relaxation on the deck, the rustic fire pit area or the front porch. There is a land line (phone) in house for local calls. We also have super fast STARLINK INTERNET!! Again, so many fun activities (winter and summer) are nearby, including the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Grand Canyon Railway/Polar Express, Bearizona, the Deer Farm and Canyon Coaster Adventure Park, as well as museums, observatories and outdoor recreation such as fishing, hiking, skiing, sledding and more. This home will not disappoint you!  Check in is after 4pm and checkout is before 11:00 am.

The cabin was beautiful. Everything was great. The only thing I would say could be improved is the bed. The bed I slept on was a little hard but other than that it was good.

Peaceful stay in Williams
This house was perfect for our group of seven to use as home base as we toured Williams and the Grand Canyon. The home was impeccably clean and seemed larger and nicer in person than it did in the pictures. It was a little ways off the main road but a pretty drive to get there. Aside from the frequent trains passing by, the neighborhood was so peaceful. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Great Property & Location
This property is in a nicely wooded area. We loved the cabin feel inside. Everything was super clean and we had plenty of room. The location is great too. Easy drives to lots of popular northern Arizona attractions from the Grand Canyon to Sedona to Flagstaff to Montezuma's Castle/Well to Meteor Crater. Would definitely stay here again!
