The cabin itself is fantastic - really big (three bathrooms and three bedrooms; two beds big enough for two people, and three beds big enough for one person) and comfortable. The cabin's walls are so thick that the Bluetooth signal from my headphones was lost walking from one side to the other - which helps keep it very quiet, and would be great for privacy if hosting a big group. The view is also obviously unmatched. Unfortunately the cabin sits up the hill from an extremely popular site, so there's no real sense of seclusion during the day because you can definitely hear (and sometimes see) people hiking or at the creek. I guess this is unavoidable everywhere in Sedona but it is kind of a bummer. Also, and this is not really a complaint because I figure it's just inevitable, but there are definitely mice. If you're really afraid of mice, I would not stay here.

Beautiful property and scenery!

Excellent house. Plenty of room for large family. A/C kept it cool during hot June days. The only drawback is the daytime crowds drawn to Oak Creek. Thankfully, it is day use only and nights are cool and quiet. The creek is why I rented the house, so the crowds were expected
@JacobL4644544 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #1
AC is not working and windows are painted shut. Bedrooms were at 95 degrees so we slept in the screened in porch. Bring multiple fans!
@BarbaraM393111 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #1
Location, location, location! Perfect! We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin. Great hiking in the area. stargazing from the back porch. Crescent Moon Park with Oak Creek flowing through, just steps away, its a great place to cool off and enjoy a paddle.Free live Flamenco music, courtyard El Rimcon restaurant, in Tlaquepaque village Sun - Tues 5:30 - 7:30pm Fantastic music and dancing. ** All in all. You will love your stay here, Cathedral Rock at your back door, amazing sunrises and sunsets. perfect getaway!

The mattresses were very dirty and bare, not even a mattress protector on them. The bathrooms windows were exposed, no curtains and you couldnt lock the doors.Lots of room but very bare.I thought it was a lot of money per night for a place that was almost abandoned. There was no place to put the garbage, we had to take it with us and they ask you to mop and sweep and do everything that wasnt done! There is no Wi-Fi so better have a good service carrier
@CarrieB5797244 · Camped on Feb 5, 2024 at Campsite #1
The house has everything you really need, miss that the fireplaces are closed upand the views are spectacular.the creek is close and so wonderful to walk and enjoy. The privacy is exceptional. Thus is a place I will return as soon as I canabsolutely a gem for the price !
@irenec053BD0BF · Camped on Jan 4, 2024 at Campsite #1
We've been here a couple times before and it has definitely been spruced up since our last visit (over a decade ago) so that made it much nicer. It's a truly beautiful quiet spot with stunning views. However we happened to be there when it was very cold (including a cold wind) so couldn't really sit outside to enjoy the patio. The main room of the house was also on the cool side for sitting relaxing; we had brought extra blankets and heat packs thank goodness but not sure I'd visit in winter again. Some good hiking close by but as we were with my nearly 90-year old dad that wasn't feasible for us on this visit; next time!

The location is incredible but the booking process and the cabin could use some updating. Having an address on the automated booking emails, adding window coverings, and giving guests the ability to control heat within a predesignated range would take this cabin from fair to excellent.
@NANCYO7574034 · Camped on Dec 18, 2023 at Campsite #1
Highly recommend-- great location, quiet, roomy and rustic.
@LaurenD1C7F4E0 · Camped on Dec 1, 2023 at Campsite #1
An incredible way to enjoy the beauty of Sedona. Comfortable fits a large group of people.
@PaulF2981841 · Camped on Nov 19, 2023 at Campsite #1
incomparable view in comfort!
@JaleelH77787B1 · Camped on Oct 26, 2023 at Campsite #1
We heard someone walk to the bathroom at in middle of the night. I would not recommend anyone staying there.

@SpencerH509237 · Camped on Jul 13, 2023 at Campsite #1
Beautiful location. Old, but well maintained property.Short walk to the creek, with a great place to play in the water and cool of from the heat. Please don't stay here, makes it harder for me to book another trip!
@JessicaM144623 · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #1
Wonderful cabin! Very large with two kitchens and three spacious bedrooms! Has all the kitchen utensils you would need as well. Very close and easy walk to the river to enjoy family time! Will definitely be booking again!
@AnnetteL335928 · Camped on Jun 15, 2023 at Campsite #1
Love this place. It is like camping with the amenities of plumbing, running water, locks, and a/c. Bring all that you would need for camping.
@chengz4569386 · Camped on Mar 19, 2023 at Campsite #1
The cresent moon cabinet was good, except there is an strong oder when I first open the door and there isn’t any pillow or blankets in the back room where I stay the room in. And in middle of the night around 4 am, there was this loud noise, when I check the brush and broom was fall down behind the wall next to fridge was fall down and when I left the morning, my pouch of heated dry freeze food was gone missing.
@Alexandra58759 · Camped on Mar 17, 2023 at Campsite #1
Verify the address before you arrive and don't assume you will have cell service to get you there. The access to trails and creeks were amazing and you are tucked away that you do not feel like you are in tourist Sedona.
@PamelaK2026168 · Camped on Mar 9, 2023 at Campsite #1
We had a perfect getaway at this large cabin. We were lucky with gorgeous weather between the snowstorm the weekend before & floods the weekend after. We had two families for a total of 7 people and had more then enough space to spread put. Although there wasn't a crockpot, everything else was well stocked. There were plenty of pots, knives, dishes, & silverware for all. The views & hiking around the area were spectacular! We felt spoiled being able to explore this magnificent area with out having to fight the traffic & parking lots. The only issues we had were in the showers. The master shower handle fell off whenever you moved it, and the other bathtub drain would not stay up so those that used it had to hold it up with thier foot while showering. My adult daughter said the futon was very uncomfortable, so keep that in mind if you have someone other then children sleeping in the living room. The other beds were very comfy. We can't wait to stay here again!
@DavidG5648223 · Camped on Feb 26, 2023 at Campsite #1
If lucky enough to get this spot, congrats. It is very historical. It would be cool to have a volunteer week/weekend to spruce up this aging gem. Everything is good. Lots of memories. Nice location for hiking.
@CarleneS910687 · Camped on Feb 23, 2023 at Campsite #1
We weren’t able to get to the cabin because roads were closed. We were refused a refund!!!’
@LeslieW5118824 · Camped on Dec 20, 2022 at Campsite #1
I almost don't want to leave a glowing review because I want to keep it a secret so it's not always reserved, haha! Our little family enjoyed a beautiful day playing games, playing with icy puddles near the creek, taking beautiful photos, and visiting with hikers along the trail. We especially appreciated the lack of internet and phone service. The kitchen was well stocked, the heating was efficient, and the beds were comfortable. We wished there was a firepit we could have used.
@HeatherH640042 · Camped on Dec 11, 2022 at Campsite #1
We loved our time at Crescent Moon!!! I was fortunate enough to live at the Crescent Moon Ranch 25 years ago when the Forest Service used it for volunteer housing and it brought back so many wonderful memories to return to such an amazing house that has been kept in such fantastic condition. This was a girl's trip and the house was perfect! There was plenty of room for everyone and the spacious great room where we spent our mornings and nights before and after exploring beautiful Sedona was comfortable and relaxing. I only have good things to say about the experience and hope to stay again sometime!
@JenniferL39143 · Camped on Nov 20, 2022 at Campsite #1
This was a lovely location, but do remember it is like camping in a cabin, there were spiders! The showers had warm water and the electricity worked great - fridge and appliances were functioning top notch. It was clean when we arrived and we did our best to ensure it was clean when we left. I would stay here again!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
