Low 6.9 tax rate! Calm 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.

The cabin was decorated for the holidays and felt truly welcomed. It was also very close to all the activities and experiences we wanted to do. We were very grateful for the place to accommodate our whole family
Loved this beautiful cabin! Easily sleeps 7 or more. We loved the beautiful quiet setting and the real log look. Host was very kind and easy to communicate with. Wish we lived closer so we could come back again soon!! We visited the Grand Canyon and bearizona on a trip.
Our stay here was absolutely amazing!! I do not have one negative thing to say about the experience and is highly recommended for anyone wanting a nice, clean and relaxing place to stay while in the area!!
This was the perfect vacation stay - beautiful home, great location, exactly as described. The house was clean, quiet, well-stocked. Communication with our host was prompt and thorough. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a temporary home-base while traveling to the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas.
We appreciated the book with all the info and the little touches like the hot chocolate. Everything was very comfortable and we liked being out in the wooded area with the kids.

This was a quiet, clean and spacious place for a family. We loved the spacious bedrooms and bathrooms and t g e house was well stocked
The property was absolutely beautiful. The beds were comfortable and the house was so well decorated it felt just like home. If I ever get to this area again I would definitely try to reserve again.
Wonderful house with a helpful, communicative host! It has the vibe of an older cabin, but the updated furnishings and great condition made it feel fresh and comfortable. Even the pull-out bed was nice. The house is located in a very quiet location in the woods where you can really see the stars. Do note that the roads to the house are not paved, but that wasn’t an issue for us; and make sure before you check out that you clean the kitchen.
This cabin was great! The hosts had everything you could need for your stay. Plenty of room for our family of four. The cabin is in a nice neighborhood and was easily accessible.

We had a blast playing in the snow and relaxing at the cabin. Will definitely stay here again.
This place was awesome to stay. My family and I felt so comfortable staying here. The house had everything we needed to cook, barbecue and just hang out .The grocery store is about 20 minutes from the place so on the way to the house it was easy to pick up groceries before heading to the house . We would definitely recommend staying here .
We had a great stay. The house is very comfortable and has plenty of space. The loft space was perfect for the kids to sleep in and then the two king rooms were perfect for the adults. The kids loved the back play set. Beautiful area!! We will be back
This cabin was a surprise! It is much nicer than the pictures show. We had 4 adults and 5 kids that stayed and it worked out great for all of us. The kitchen has more than you need to fix meals and the beds were very comfortable. We will be back again.
We had a wonderful stay in this cabin! The cabin was clean and well stocked. The location was nice for the day trips we took to South Rim and Sedona. We would stay here again if we visited the area in the future. Thank you!
The house was perfect for our family while we explored the Grand Canyon. Was easy to get to but also far enough off the highway to get the secluded feel. Thank you for the awesome memories !!
Super cozy and great cabin! There were 6 adults in total in our family staying. The location was perfect for the sightseeing we wanted to do in Sedona and Grand Canyon National Park. Williamson was also a great little town. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay again and would recommend it to a friend. The only slight issue we had was not the fault of the host but our maps kept saying the house was further down the street than where it was actually located. We had some issues finding it the first time because it was night time. Just something to keep in mind if you do book this place! But overall we loved this place!!! The hosts are wonderful!
Our family of 6 (mom, dad and kids ages 10, 8, 6 & 5) all enjoyed our stay! Fully stocked kitchen. Quiet neighborhood. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room to spread out. Extra pillows and blankets to keep everyone warm and comfy. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends!
Absolutely perfect place to unwind and explore the beautiful surroundings! The house is a perfect cabin in the woods! Beautifully decorated and has a well-stocked kitchen! Everything you could want for a family vacation! Friendly, helpful hosts!
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!
We planned to do some hiking near the Grand Canyon, but a huge snowstorm changed our plans. Luckily, the cabin was a great place to stay cozy for a few days, and the kids had a blast building a snowman and learning to shovel the driveway.
