About
Crescent Moon Ranch Cabin is an exceptional historic ranch house rental situated in one of Sedona's most photographed locations, adjacent to Oak Creek and at the base of the towering Cathedral Rock. Built by ranchers of the original homestead and later made available for public use by the U.S. Forest Service, this charming facility accommodates up to 10 guests and offers a comfortable stay year-round. The cabin features three bedrooms with a queen bed, two full beds, a twin-over-full bunkbed, and three rollaway beds, along with three bathrooms. Two kitchens provide ample cooking space, with the main kitchen equipped with an electric stovetop, dishwasher, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave. The home includes a large living room with sectional couch, dining area, and screened-in sun porch with views of the surrounding red rocks. Modern amenities include electricity, running water, heating, and air conditioning. An outdoor grill and picnic table are available for al fresco dining. Sitting at 4,000 feet elevation in the high desert at the base of the Mogollon Rim, the cabin offers direct access to Oak Creek for swimming, wading, and fishing. The adjacent Crescent Moon day use area provides additional picnic facilities. Hiking, biking, and scenic drives through Oak Creek Canyon are minutes away, and downtown Sedona's shops, restaurants, and attractions are easily accessible. Nearby destinations include Slide Rock State Park and the Red Rock/Secret Mountain Wilderness. Guests are responsible for bringing their own bedding, linens, towels, and food, and must pack out all trash as no trash service is provided.
