Welcome to The Gateway Cottage! Our beautiful privately owned upscale 1765 sf  "cottage" is situated on an acre of cool pines at above 7000' altitude in Northern Arizona. A natural setting in the Sherwood Forest Estates subdivision, where you can slow down and take in the serenity of the forest and the clean, fresh air while the kids enjoy the swingset. 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. It's an easy 45 minute/60 mile drive to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, and with Flagstaff 25 minutes and Sedona an hour away, this is a great central location!! Hunting and fishing, hiking and off road trails are all nearby. Our home has 2 KING bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus a sleeping loft with one QUEEN bed and one TWIN bed, and downstairs is 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 adult guests (additional fees for 8th and 9th guests may apply). We're sorry, as a courtesy to homeowners/guests with allergies, WE DO NOT HOST PETS OR SERVICE/ESA OF ANY KIND, but, we do welcome adults, children and hunters!
