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.

We absolutely loved these cabins! Jason was amazing! The hot tub was hot and felt great! Pet friendly and our dogs found so many bones! Trees provided so much shade. Comfy beds and futon. 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.

We loved these cabins! Super cozy, comfortable & pleasant. The kids enjoyed playing in the Jacuzzi and Jason was very hospitable and knowledgeable of the area, providing details and pins to guide us to great spots by the river that were perfect for even my mom to access. Paddle board rocked and the stars were amazing as well. Beautiful place, will most definitely be back!

Except hidden gem. It’s off the beaten path but well worth it with the hospitality and information Jason provides. Minutes from the relaxing river and close enough to the city for fast food if you get carried away with the day. Should recommend highly for getaways. Dog friendly as well

Like the other reviews shared, the campsites are right off of the road, and there are a lot of ATVs that go by during the day on the weekend, but it quiets down in the evening. Pretty setting and not far from town. There were some gross spots where you could tell previous campers didn't dig holes to go #2, which was not fun with dogs. But overall not a bad spot.

It's an ok campground. The best part of the campground are the host. There are recycling toilets. Drinkable water.
But the forest service doesn't do much here. The lower water spigot is STILL missing the top plug, so when you go to get water is blows out of 2 holes instead of one. Get ready to get wet. Site 16 has the largest ant hill I've ever seen. If you stay there you will get accosted by them. There are also bookoos of tent caterpillars in the oak trees directly over where you park.
When you go to reserve, there are rarely openings of any length. But when you arrive, those supposedly reserved sites are empty. You need to occupy from first night. And get ready for it to sound like your in a dog park. RUDE thoughtless dog owners!

Right off the 89A if you use some active imagination the sound of traffic might be wind in the pines. The put toilets are not kept clean and rowdy campers party all night with no concern for the rest of the camp.

There is no swimming or powered boats in the water but the canoeing is nice. There is also a good walking path around the entire lake which is also connected to a decent restaurant that serves German food.

Doing a cross country camping trip, and after I couldn't find access to another site, I settled to Mingus Mountain. I'm really glad I had to resort to plan b. Mingus mountain may be in my top 5 all time now. To think you can camp here for less than $20 dollars is pretty crazy. I think they could charge $100 and people would still come. Check out the photo of the scenic view I uploaded and you'll see why. So quiet and peaceful up here. Even the drive up here is worth jt. I'm 5 days in on my trip staying a new place each night. This one is going to be hard to leave.

Tried getting here from the East. Google maps, which is 99% reliable kept putting me on really old roads that resembled four wheeler trails. Each one taking me to a locked gate on private ranch land. The sun was setting, so I had to give up after an hour. Go to Mingus Mountain instead, if you're coming from the East. It's worth the change of course.
