At The Cottage we do love animals but we do NOT allow any type of animal. Due to allergies we are a hypoallergenic home. Please do not send me a message asking if we allow pets as we do not but there are lots of cabins in the area that do. We love all animals but I want to be respectful of all my guests and their health concerns and allergies. If an animal is reported or seen, the guest will be asked to leave immediately with no refund and possible extra cleaning fees will be applied.
The Cottage has parking for 2-4 vehicles in the driveway. There is no street parking due to the cottage being in a cul-de-sac and we want to be respectful of our neighbors.
Our property does have 3 not in use exterior cameras, and the only working camera is a ring door bell at the front door to ensure the proper guests are at our cottage and to ensure the safety of our home during down times.
The Cottage has a perfect location and can be a great home base for all your exploring wants in Northern Arizona. I highly encourage guests to explore this great area!

This was by far the best stay we could have asked for. The host did not disappoint with anything! The entire cabin was spotless and all the special touches were amazing. From adding Fall decor, a welcome snack basket, black washclothes to wash off makeup, bluetooth speaker on the porch, outdoor accent lighting, comfortable beds as well as comfortable indoor and outdoor furniture. The gameroom and spa just added even more things for our family to enjoy on our getaway. We truly felt at home and will be back!

Loved this cabin! It was one of our favorite stays. It was so welcoming and had everything we needed. Our son loved the games in the garage and we loved the backyard and how it opened up to the national forest. The owner was very responsive - you can tell they’ve put a lot of thought and effort into every detail of the cabin. We will definitely be back again!

Back again!
For my husband’s birthday we returned to the Cottage for a second time within a 2 month span. We were so enamored with our stay the first time, there was no question as to where we would want to be again. For us, staying at the Cottage is like being at a home away from home. Carissa has a unique ability to take every little want and need into account, creating the greatest sense of comfort you could ask for your family. Now that we have found this beautiful property, we plan to come back again and again. As a little side note… this birthday trip wasn’t even planned. But because we loved staying there so much, it was an easy excuse to get out of the Valley for a few days and go to a place that feels like home in the mountains!

Excellent vacation rental
Our family of four (parents 2 college aged “kids”) came to stay in AZ for family time and to get outdoors. This rental met our needs very well. The kitchen was perfect to make the majority of our meals for the week and we used the hot tub almost every night. The game room was fun, but a bit chilly in December! The communication with our host was outstanding!

Absolutely wonderful
This cottage is immaculate! It’s clear that the owner’s furnished this home with the eyes of their guests in mind. Each detail was thought through to make the stay as comfortable and effortless as possible. And it was the little things too…. quality everything! Beautifully decorated and arranged, the love put into it is unmistakable. My wife often helps friends and family decorate their homes and puts her heart into even the smallest items. When she saw THIS home she said, “there is literally nothing I would have done differently!”If available in the future, we hope and plan to stay here each time we visit. Thank you so much for a wonderful family vacation. - Dominguez Family

Best VRBO Ever!
My wife and I have used VRBO for years and stayed at probably something close to a dozen places around the world. This stay was absolutely the best.
Maybe it was because we both needed a week off and a week away from the hot weather this summer.
Our stay in Mund's Park / Pinewood could not have been better.
We seldom left the home. The accommodations were so inviting. From the kitchen to the bathrooms, the hot tub and game room -- everything was in perfect condition and very enjoyable.
Everything was brand-new. Everything was exactly what we were hoping for.
We took a couple of walks in the woods. We had dinner at the country club. Again, it could not have been a better week.
When you stay here you too will enjoy the comforts, the games, the fresh air!
All of the photos well represent what you get with a stay here.
Thank you, Carissa, we really enjoyed your home. More than you will ever know!

Phoenix Heat Labor Day Weekend Escape
The Cottage was absolutely delightful, exactly as described and portrayed in the photos! Meticulously maintained, it felt as though we were the first guests to have stayed there. Perfectly furnished and appointed, it provided the perfect mountain respite to escape the Valley heat. An amazing experience. Thank you!
