STAY • STARGAZE • EXPLORE • ADVENTURE • EXPERIENCE
Greetings, fellow adventure lovers! (:
Welcome to Verde River Vortex — a cozy little corner of Northern Arizona created for people who want to get outside, slow down, explore, seek adventure, and make memories along the way.
We’re more than just a place to stay. Think of Verde River Vortex as your Northern Arizona Adventure Basecamp — a comfortable home away from home where you can recharge between adventures, gather around the fire, soak under the stars, and wake up ready to explore.
Just minutes away is the AWESOME Verde River, offering opportunities for SUP, kayaking, swimming, floating, wildlife watching, or simply finding a quiet spot to sit back and enjoy the water. And beyond the river, you’re perfectly positioned to experience some of Northern Arizona’s most incredible destinations and outdoor adventures.
🌊 EXPLORE • ADVENTURE • EXPERIENCE
From the Verde River to the red rocks of Sedona, historic Jerome, the trails and mountains of Northern Arizona, and countless hidden gems in between, there is no shortage of ways to spend your days.
Whether your idea of adventure is paddling down the river, hiking a canyon, chasing waterfalls, mountain biking, exploring backroads, photographing incredible landscapes, or simply finding a beautiful place to watch the sunset — VRV is designed to be your launching point.
But we believe the best trips aren't just about the places you visit. They're about the experiences you have along the way.
Get out there. Try something new. Find your own adventure. Slow down long enough to notice the stars. Discover places you didn't know existed. Experience Northern Arizona.
🏕️ STAY
Our cabins are simple, comfortable, cozy, and intentionally designed for adventure.
Each cabin is equipped with the essentials you need for your stay, including hot water, a kitchen, bathroom, basic appliances, dishes, and the comforts that make coming back after a day outside feel pretty darn good.

🌌 STARGAZE
When the sun goes down, Verde River Vortex comes alive in a completely different way.
Away from the lights and noise of the city, our rural setting offers the opportunity to slow down, build a fire, step outside, and look up at a sky filled with stars.
On a clear night, you may find yourself watching the Milky Way stretch across the sky, photographing the stars, or simply sitting quietly and realizing that sometimes the best part of an adventure is doing absolutely nothing.

3 nights at Verde River Vortex
Staying at Jason's cabin was exactly what this trip of adventure into the great outdoors called for. Crystal loft was super cozy and the upper deck was a beautiful added bonus, especially on the night of a full 🌕 I would definitely recommend an SUV for the trip.

The Jupiter cabin was a great experience. We loved being out in the country with small beautiful towns close by. Jason was a perfect host and operated like a well oiled machine. Looking forward to a future stay there so we can enjoy the fruits of the Verde river again. Thank you again, Jason and Hipcamp!

We had such a great time during our stay here, it was plenty of space for our family and puppers! The host Jason was great and reached out to see if we needed anything during our stay, he also has a wealth of knowledge on places to explore and things to see in the area, which was great. The stars out there at night are absolutely breathtaking! Would absolutely stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Red River Vortex! Everything about it was perfect. It was close to everything we wanted to do yet the cabin itself is somewhat remote so it's perfect for a relaxing experience. Jason was an amazing host. He suggested many incredible places to explore and was very knowledgeable about the area. We took up several of his suggestions and we were very happy that we did. I would highly recommend Jason's spot and we plan to return when we can.

We loved our stay Verde River Vortex! We stayed in for 3 nights and had a blast. Jason the owner is very accommodating and just an overall good guy! He let us borrow a stand up paddle board and shuttled our family up river so we could float down (absolutely no charge). It was such a cool experience, my husband and I floated the Verde River each with a kid on the front of our board! He also recommended a variety of secluded swimming holes for the next day. There is a hot tub on the property he let us use as well, our kids absolutely loved it! If you want to enjoy the stars, be off the beaten path yet close to town, this is your spot! I highly recommend these cabins!

Such a perfect stay! The cabin is perfect size for two people and the hot tub was perfect as well. There’s bamboo outside that helps with the privacy which is very nice! The location puts you out in nature but also very close to downtown Cottonwood which was a blast to visit! We will for sure be back!

We had a great experience overall! Christine was flexible and understanding when we needed to change the dates of our stay. My daughter really enjoyed the property, especially the tire swing and hammock. It was a bit odd to us having a host on the property and around so much but Bill was helpful and friendly! Would recommend refinishing the benches and barstools on the deck as the wood was chipping in areas and could cause splinters. Some cushions on the benches would also add some more comfort but overall the deck was great for entertaining and relaxing. The inside was cozy and clean, had just the right amount of supplies for our stay. My daughter asked when we could go back before we even left, so we are looking forward to staying again sometime. Highly recommend!

Our host went above and beyond to make everything about this experience amazing. The stay was so soulful. We took the opportunity for river kayaking, and it was made so easy with our hosts help. We were blessed to be able take the time to spend a quiet day painting rocks and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. A few nights under the stars on the loft deck were the reset we needed. Can’t boast more about this stay. Highly recommend all of it.

A very peaceful stay away from the busy city! Jason's helpfulness of what we could do in the area was very much appreciated. It was the best to have a place to stay with two little kids where we didn't have to worry that their busy feet were annoying anyone below us in a hotel. It was an added bonus to be able to bring our dog.

We created some very special memories staying at Jason's cabin and meeting Jason! The nature that surrounds the cabin is stunning and is a great getaway. We used hot bubbly Jacuzzi under a beautiful sky after our long hike. We all loved climbing up on the loft just to chill and observe beautiful sky and feel some fresh air. Jason welcomed us so kindly and made us feel home. The cabin and Jason's hospitality is so special and something that is hard to find elsewhere. We highly recommend! Thank you so much Jason! We will be back!

WE LOVED OUR STAY. The host was super helpful and had countless suggestions on places to check out. The river was beautiful! We plan to come back again and explore. This town is soooo underrated. It feels like we know about a secret place and it’s only 1.5-2 hours from the Phoenix Valley. The “cabin” was small and basic. No frills but we felt safe, had WiFi, clean place to cook, shower and sleep.

If your over 30 I wouldn't suggest sleeping in the loft if you've been drinking lol. Could use some games and a microwave but honestly was the time of our life! It was a staycation for us as we live in cornville but such a great get away. Will definitely book again.jason was the shit!!!!

4 nights at Creekside Retreat on 3 Acres!
This house is a wonderful base for exploring the Sedona area. It’s convenient to CottonWood, Camp Verde, the Village of Oak Creek, and anywhere in Sedona, which is just within a 30-minute drive away. The deck and creekside are my favorite spots—we enjoyed breakfast by the water in the mornings, and after a full day of exploring, we relaxed on the deck in the evening, cooking dinner and sipping tea or coffee. It felt so peaceful and cozy. The rooms are spacious and very clean, and the property has BBQ grills both in the yard and on the deck, along with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The host also provides plenty of privacy, making the place feel like your own. If I return to Sedona, I would absolutely stay here again.
