Save the 11% city tax! Homebase for Williams, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff and Sedona

Welcome to The Gateway Cottage, we're outside city limits, saving you 11% on the lodging tax rate!! 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. We also provide 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.

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying in this cozy, comfortable cabin. My family wanted to feel like we were in the middle of the woods while still being conveniently located to Williams and Flagstaff and this checked that box perfectly. Merrie was so easy to work with when we had to modify our reservation. We’re already talking about when we can go back.
