Rustic Rim Hideaway Cabin

This A-frame sits in a small cul-de-sac cluster of cabins on the Mogollon Rim in northeastern Arizona, with the Sitgreaves National Forest starting right at the back door. Woods Canyon Lake and Willow Springs Lake are both close by for trout fishing, and hundreds of miles of mostly car-accessible dirt roads fan out for off-roading, hiking or biking.

Inside, two bedrooms sleep four: a queen in the main room and two twin beds in the second, upstairs from a carpeted living area with a flagstone fireplace, a DirecTV-equipped TV, and a full kitchen with the usual appliances and cookware. The downstairs bathroom has a bath/shower combo, and fresh towels are provided. Outside, there's a covered front porch, a gas grill with charcoal supplied, parking for two vehicles, and a private acre of land, plus access to a shared common area with a fire pit and seasonal horseshoe pit.

The cabin is the closest of the group to maintained roads and the highway, so it's reachable year-round, though winter visits call for all-wheel or 4-wheel drive and a check on chain requirements with Arizona DPS. The nearest town is 17 miles off. Nearby options for eating out include the 260 Roadhouse for burgers, pizza and live music, and The Creekside Steakhouse & Tavern for gourmet burgers and tacos.

Wi-Fi is available, and dogs are welcome for an added nightly fee (no cats, birds, reptiles, or other exotic pets). It's worth bringing your own firewood, since local supply can run short during busy weekends and holidays, and pet owners should pack their own pet blankets. Booking is handled directly through the property's website.
