About this property

Oak Creek Canyon Cabin Getaway - Peaceful Retreat in Sedona - Bear Howard Cabin

Looking for a peaceful retreat in stunning Sedona / Oak Creek Canyon? We have the perfect cabin home for you - Bear Howard Cabin! We are located in the highly desirable Pine Flats neighborhood, off of historic and scenic Route 89A (one of the most beautiful drives in Arizona).

This lovely three bedroom, two bath cabin has all the charm of a dreamy and magical Sedona/Red Rock vacation get-a-way! Hike in the mornings, shop in the afternoons and relax and dine in the evenings! Your choices are nearly unlimited. We are the perfect cabin to begin all of your Red Rock adventures.

The cabin is located in a small housing development surrounded by a lush, cool, green conifer forest and oak trees, right off of Oak Creek itself. We are halfway between Flagstaff and Sedona - just a short drive north, and you’re in Flagstaff, and nearly the same driving distance south and you’re in Sedona proper.

We are also located near the famous West Fork Trail, one of the most scenic and popular hikes in the area! We are also not too far from Slide Rock State Park, a regional favorite for cooling off in the Summer and one of the most stunning natural settings around.

A short, casual walk down the drive brings you to our private Oak Creek access for fishing, swimming, wading and other types of creek discoveries!

This cabin is a perfect getaway spot and offers a recently renovated and fully stocked kitchen - all new appliances, cabinets and cookware - for those days and nights when you want to enjoy a quiet meal at home. There is also a propane grill on the upper deck, and a variety of outdoor furniture for relaxing.

We have a spacious, welcoming living area downstairs, with a wood stove that provides warmth in the colder months and added Sedona ambience (central heating and air conditioning for your seasonal comfort available as well). The dining area seats eight comfortably and is the perfect spot to enjoy a meal with your family, a friendly game of cards, a spot to do a jigsaw puzzle, or even sneak in a few work emails, if absolutely necessary. We offer limited Internet at our cabin (not always an easy feat to accomplish in the Canyon) for those times when you are not outside enjoying all Sedona has to offer.

We have three comfortable bedrooms: two with queen-sized beds downstairs, and a large, private master bedroom on the second floor with king bed and a cozy, private sitting area.

There is another gathering spot on the second floor loft area with comfy couches, a large TV, and a selection of DVDs for family entertainment. You'll also find board games and puzzles for more family fun.

There are two large decks surrounding the home for enjoying a peaceful afternoon reading and observing forest life.

This is the Best Place Ever!
We absolutely love Pine Flats and Bear Howard Cabin made our stay extra special and memorable. This cabin was epic. It had three levels of porches/balconies. Wonderful Adirondack chairs. We spent hours talking on the porch and watching rainstorms and thunderstorms was a highlight. We had an absolute blast. The cabin is nestled in the most gorgeous trees in every direction. We felt like we were staying in a tree house. The cabin is massive with so much room and the hosts have done an incredible job making it super cozy. It looks like they put in new windows that were so easy to open and close, screens all in tact. They also had privacy blinds on every window which was very appreciated. The beds were super comfortable. The washer and dryer were state of the art and super quiet. We loved watching movies upstairs, great collection of movies completed by the great sound system. Also, to accompany our outdoor adventures, the water was delicious straight from the sink! We can just go on and on talking about this cabin, we love it so much!! The neighborhood is a dream, so much fun to take walks. We will come back here year after year!! Thank you so much for having us as your guests :)

Beautiful Oak Creek Canyon
We loved the house! It’s in beautiful Oak Creek Canyon. I love the loft ceiling. Kitchen looks new. Three bedrooms was perfect for my husband and I, our 21 year old son and 18 year old daughter. Loft with tv was great at night after hiking all day. Our bed was really comfortable. Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon are so gorgeous! We would rent this house again. Would be nice in the fall so we can use the fireplace.

Beautiful Cabin in the woods
Beautiful cabin in the pines on Oak Creek. This cabin was a perfect weekend getaway spot for me and my family. Very quiet and cozy neighborhood. The cabin was very comfortable with all the amenities of home. Wonderful front porch! The location was fantastic 5 miles north of Slide Rock and 30 min from Flagstaff. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Oak Creek Cabin
The property is beautiful with a vobrant community and the creek only 100 feet away. Fishing is unfortunately catch and release for the time being, but my boys greatly enjoyed fishing for multiple days. The A/C works great for those warn days, but we hardly needed it with how beautiful the weather was.

My sisters and i enjoyed our stay immensely. The road was flooded into the neighborhood but theres a convient walk on bridge so there was no problems getting to the cabin even with the road closure. Overall, would book this place again.

Creekside Getaway
My family and I had a great stay and enjoyed being so close to the creek. The home was quaint and neighborhood was perfect for the kids to go and explore safely. The kitchen is updated and had all the supplies we needed. I had read the reviews prior and made sure to bring our groceries along since its about 30 mins to a grocery store. A few things that we wish we knew in advance ( especially with my elder in-laws) was that the 1) Creek was flooding the road/driveway to the neighborhood and unless you had a big truck, there was no way of crossing safely. Luckily I had reception ( which can be spotty) and Sam quickly helped us navigate how to get the walking bridge and where to park our car. I really do think this information should have been brought to our attention prior to arrival with the check in instructions but I'm glad it wasn't a big issue. The other only other issue we had was figuring out the fireplace to heat the place ( no central heating- which they do mention) since it was still chilly in April, there were instructions but it was difficult to sort out. We did eventually figure it out and it was working great and used some of the room heaters to warm up the space. Other than that, the place is cozy, all the bedrooms were great and comfortable! Plenty of movies, games and space to relax and enjoy some family time. We did have a wonderful time staying next in the canyon.

Lovely cabin
We were nervous before our trip since Sedona had a snow storm the day we were supposed to travel up from Tucson. We wrote to our hosts asking to change dates slightly due to the conditions and they gratuitously allowed us to. Thanks so much- helped greatly since the roads were closed that day anyway! Once we arrived the following day, the cabin was perfect for our for our needs. Clean and spacious, kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, enjoyed the wood burning stove. Very spotty internet and phone reception but since we were there to relax we didn’t mind much. Would stay here again:)

Great Spot
Great House. Very clean and comfortable. We love the location. The creek is practically right out the front door and there are beautiful views all around. Nice quiet neighborhood. Still close enough to Sedona to enjoy the town too. Only issue we had was being unlucky in our timing. We had to arrive very late due to work and it just so happened to snow just before we got there, so the parking areas needed to be shoveled or plowed. I’m sure if we were arriving at a more reasonable hour it wouldn’t have been a problem. But just in case you go right after it snows, you might want to ask ahead of time if they could check that. Still had a great time and will definitely go back.

About the host

Hosted by Sam & Susan

Host profile image
We are avid hikers and cyclists and we love the Sedona area. After visiting for many years, we decided to purchase a home on Oak Creek. It took about 2 years before we settled on Bear Howard Cabin. We hope you enjoy the cabin and the area as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We love the coolness of the pines and the peaceful sounds of Oak Creek. Bear Howard Cabin is at about 5,600 ft in elevation. Summers in the canyon are cooler than in Sedona proper. The cabin has great proximity to both Sedona and Flagstaff. Come relax and cool off in the woods!
