About Crescent Moon Ranch Cabin

Crescent Moon Ranch is an exceptional year-round place to stay in beautiful Sedona. The central Arizona facility is a rustic, historic ranch house adjacent to Oak Creek and near the base of the towering Cathedral Rock, one of the most photographed scenes in the Southwest. Guests can enjoy hiking, photography or simply relaxing and taking in the breathtaking views. The cabin can accommodate up to 10 people for overnight use. It can be accessed by vehicle. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

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.

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!
