About Kendrick Cabin

Kendrick Cabin offers groups of up to 10 people the chance to experience spectacular mountain views, numerous hiking and mountain biking trails, and several cultural and historic attractions of the Southwest region. The rustic, three-bedroom masonry and wood cabin is a retired U.S. Forest Service fire guard station constructed in the 1960s. It lies just minutes from downtown Flagstaff and about an hour from the world-famous Grand Canyon National Park. Kendrick Cabin is located approximately 22 miles north of Flagstaff. The site is open from mid-April to mid-November. There is no electricity available and running water is provided only during peak season. All roads are suitable for a sedan except during winter months. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Nice cabin with Beautiful scenery. Solar panel provides lighting which worked through the night. The light for the bathroom only lasted a few hours of the night. We will go again.

I/We have stayed at Kendrick Cabin many times over the past several years and it never disappoints. The cabin is frequently updated (new futons, new area rugs, solar lighting now instead of propane, for ex.) and almost all of its visitors leave it clean and are respectful of the privilege of using it.
The location is unbeatable, with beautiful sweeping views of the San Franciso Peaks, Kendrick Peak, the grasslands and smaller hills all around...
And there are so many nearby activities to enjoy and to introduce to visitors to our beautiful state.
This is a happy place for me and my family, and I am so appreciative of those who maintain it. I only wish it hadn't become so popular, because it's really difficult to book these days!

A great cabin but avoid in late fall. Leaky windows led to a cold night (16 degrees) even with the fireplace. Next time summer or fall.

Great out of the way place, yet not too far off the highway. Lots of forest service roads around the area great for mountain biking.

Beautiful sunset and sunrise. Our group enjoyed splitting firewood, cooking outdoors, hiking, games at the dining table, and a visit to the nearby lava cave.

Really like this cabin. The setting is lovely. It is a beautiful place to wake up and linger sipping coffee, playing games with your family, or letting the kiddos run wild. Obviously, it is a cabin, so don't expect luxury. It has a nice rustic feel. The only reason I withheld one star is because it is still within hearing of the highway, slightly, and the setting isn't quite as spectacular as some cabins I have stayed in.
