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.

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!

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!

Great place for making great memories! This was our 3rd & best time renting this lovely cabin, the last being 2 years ago. We arrived to find all new appliances & that pesky slow-draining kitchen sink fixed. Our group of 6 especially enjoyed cooking & dining together in the indoor patio gazing up at stunning Cathedral Rock.
