Parks House | East of the Sun Retreat, backs Kaibab National forest on 12 acres!

2 Bedroom House in Parks

Are you looking for an " EXPERIENCE" and a true retreat, not just another vacation rental? Look no further! Located on 12 acres that backs the Kaibab National forest, this gorgeous cabin is located in Parks, Arizona, which is between Flagstaff and Williams off of Interstate 40. It is the absolute perfect vacation and/or romantic get-away, for the outdoor enthusiast, high altitude trainer, artist/writer, family gathering, or just plain rest. Come relax and recharge! It is only 3 miles off OLD ROUTE 66!
TWO extra guest? Check out my guest house, VRBO 840085.
Are you going to the IKRC Grand Canyon.? It is the next exit west of East of the Sun or 9.5 miles away. (the next exit off the interstate)

NO parties or events allowed. No extra guest that are not agreed upon in the contract.

It is very private and quiet, and has a FULL panoramic view of The Peaks (San Francisco Peaks, or sometimes referred to as Humphreys Peaks), and other surrounding mountains and hills. The Kaibab national forest is 1.4 million acres and accessible right out the door. This allows for endless trails for hiking/walking, running, or perhaps also enjoy biking, and horseback riding. In the winter, sledding, snowmobiling and cross-country ski right out the door! This is a great home base for excursions to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Flagstaff and Williams, all the outlying areas.

It is located one hour from the Grand Canyon, 25 min. to Flagstaff, about 50 min. to downtown Sedona (35 minutes. to top of Oak Creek where West Fork hiking trail is located). Only 20 minutes to the town of Williams, where you can catch the train to the Grand Canyon or for the Polar Express (winter season)!

It is the perfect family home with an open floor plan. It is great for two couples. If you have more people, consider renting our Guesthouse too, VRBO 840085 that is perfect for another couple.

This is a NON SMOKING home. Certain times of the year, there is NO smoking on the premises due to extreme fire danger. One would have to smoke in their car. Please inquire.

You will feel rested and recharged after staying here! There are mountain views from every window including the master shower, and plenty of windows and natural light.

The floor plan in the house is open - a large kitchen with a six-person farm table. It is very bright and sunny. Yes, we have internet and satellite TV!

The min age of age to rent the property is 30 yrs. Previous great reviews needed from other VRBO rentals.

Max. occupancy is four, however, inquire for more. If you are looking for more space, inquire about my guesthouse availability (VRBO 840085) or my neighbor's VRBO house, for 3 couples.

We have central heat!

The master bedroom has French doors that lead out to a separate deck for privacy. The master bath has a large claw-foot cast iron tub, with a separate shower (views of the mountain from the shower too!)

The second bedroom has a queen bed. It is much smaller than the master, so if you are sharing with another couple keep that in mind.

2100. sq. ft. house @ an altitude of 7,300. ft. Built 2005.
House is located on a paved road that is plowed first thing in the morning in winter. In winter, we suggest, for a four wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles.

FOUR Seasons: We are located at 7,300 ft. We have snowy winters normally although the last few years have been mild with spurts of storms and great hiking weather in between. The summers are high 70's-mid 80's with monsoons in the afternoon. Night temps drop into the 50's. Fall is fantastic, low 70's with temperatures dropping at night. The trees start to turn and it is a secret getaway for fall colors!

The kitchen is open and very large with a wrap-around porch and large BBQ. It is well stocked with gourmet kitchen utensils. We even have staples: flour, sugar, spices etc.

The laundry room is available for stays 7 days or more only.

There is a propane BBQ.

There is a guesthouse next door, which may or may not be occupied. See VRBO 840085.

Summary: Our time at the home rental in Parks, AZ, was exceptional - rest, relaxation, in a retreat equipped with anything we could possibly need or want! We had high expectations from the pictures and reviews on the website and were pleasantly surprised that this property delivered far more than we could wish for. To start with, the main house is completely custom built with over 40 windows, a spacious open floor plan, high ceilings, and even a vaulted ceiling in the master. In addition, the picture windows and French doors make this beautiful two bedroom home sunny and bright. It gets better....the views from each window are some of the best of what AZ has to offer! The covered porches are also great spots to view wildlife and several mountains around this magical home. We had planned to head into Sedona one day, but we found ourselves not wanting to leave therefore spent the day walking on nearby trails, taking photos, watching birds (hummingbirds especially active!) and reading from the great variety of books at the home. Overall the home is especially well equipped, clean and provides all that is needed for relaxation and rejuvenation. From booking to departure the communication with Louisa could not have been easier or more informative. Looking back, our two nights here will be a highlight of our 10 days in the area.
