As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
With snow already beginning to fall in the Grand Canyon State, cozying up in a cabin surrounded by towering aspens has never been so appealing. Forest Houses Resort in Sedona is the perfect getaway when you just need to check out of life for a few days, and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking no matter the season. Right now fall foliage is in full force and makes the property look like an enchanted forest, and pretty soon the grounds will be covered in a blanket of white.
Situated on 20 wooded acres in the upper portion of Oak Creek Canyon, Forest Houses Resort is an enchanting getaway year-round. With several different types of trees surrounding the property, autumn is an especially magical time to visit.
Red maple, aspen, chaparral, and oak are just some of the abundant vegetation that makes its home here. All the recent rain has supplied the forest with exactly what it needs to flourish into a beautiful scene like this, so it's safe to say we're in for a treat.
Temperatures are pleasant in early fall; afternoons are mild and evenings are just cool enough to enjoy a fireside mug of hot cocoa. Many of the 16 houses have a private patio, so your days can start and end with nature's tranquil silence.
Speaking of fires, wood is supplied to guests free of charge. Considering snow is already starting to fall in some parts of the state, it won't be long before getting warm after sunset requires timbers to be set ablaze.
Sleeping between two and ten people, the cabins can accommodate couples and large parties alike. Whether you're looking for a romantic hideaway or a family vacation venue, there's a house for every occasion.
Charming interiors resemble New England ski lodges, and luxury amenities are akin to those of five-star resorts. Enjoy rock fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, whirlpool tubs, and plenty of other features you'd never expect to find deep in the wilderness.
Although cozying up indoors all day is a completely valid option, several scenic hiking trails within walking distance of the property make exploring the canyon sound pretty tempting. Walk across historic bridges, marvel at unique geological formations, and appreciate the stunning work Mother Nature did on our beautiful state.
Rates range from $125 to $160 per night depending on which cabin you choose, and the resort is located at 9275 N. SR 89A, Sedona, AZ 86336. Click here for more information.
