About this property

Relax on the deck overlooking a creek in this recently renovated 1 Bdr 556 square foot cabin in Madera Canyon, AZ, surrounded by the Coronado National Forest. Full kitchen. Property is walking distance to trailheads, picnic areas and favorite birdwatching spots.

If you are traveling with friends, please check out my property next door that sleeps 4. It's called Madera Canyon home w/spectacular mountain view.

Please note: There is no TV reception (we do have a dvd player). Satellite Internet is provided (but may be slower than you are used to and is subject to weather outages). This is a remote property. Your cell phone will have limited connectivity in the canyon (Verizon works best, but we suggest you set up wifi calling on your phone). While there are two gift stores in the canyon, the next closest businesses are 15 miles away. I recommend you get gas and stop at the grocery store before you drive into the canyon.

Please note: There is NO washing machine on the premises.

Hiking and Birding

This cabin is quite comfortable for two. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials. The hiking is right out the front door and the canyon is full of birds. We've rented it for the past 3 years.

Cozy canyon getaway

What a gem! The cabin is perfectly appointed for rustic comfort. We were there for a week in which it rained, snowed and hailed but we were warm and entertained between storms by the abundant birdlife coming in to the feeders. Clean, well kept, lovely. All our Tucson friends were surprised and delighted by this sweet find in the canyon. Thank you so much!

Nice mountain visit with family

We rented the property because it was co-located with another of the owner’s properties nearby. Our nephew and his spouse stayed the weekend. The cabin is nicely furnished and the location is superb next to a babbling brook. It was spotless and ever worked. Being located in a national forest, the cabin is near many hiking trails and is a fun place for outdoor people.

Marvelous!

This is a little jewel! It is so clean. Everything you need or want in the way of books, maps, entertainment is provided. Saw some wildlife, turkeys, coatamundis and lots of birds. We are definitely coming back for birthdays and other special occasions. Very relaxing, right in the middle of the forest. Can't say enough about this treasure.

About the host

Hosted by Molly Elliott

I spent summers in Tucson, Arizona with my grandparents as a little girl. They had a small cabin in Madera Canyon - one of only a handful of private homes - and my sister and I loved going there on the weekends and playing in the creek or hiking the trail to Mt. Wrightson. As an adult I have returned to visit my grandparents many times with my children to introduce them to the jewel that is Madera Canyon. The photo is of my grandfather playing with my kids in the creek below the cabin.

Why they chose this property

My sister and I inherited this property when my grandfather passed away in 2011. This was the original weekend cabin we stayed in. My grandfather had not maintained the cabin as it was only used occasionally after he built his retirement home next door. In 2018, I started a renovation project so the cabin could continue to be enjoyed.
