Im travelling to AZ to see the Grand CAnyon, Sedona, Prescott and Flagstaff. I`ll be there from Dec 20th till Dec 28th. Im trying to locate an inexpensive cabin, something more on a rustic side but still warm and solid. I`ve been searching online but most of the places are either too fancy or expensive. Please let me know if you`ve travelled there and can recommend a lodging.

There are lots of cabins in the area but I know of none that are inexpensive at any time of the year, and you are talking about over the Xmas season which means if you have not already booked doubtful you will find a place at any price. I'd say look at motels/hotels in the various area when you plan to be in those cities, the basic motels are as low as $27/night (maybe more over Xmas). Sedona is an hour drive from Flagstaff, Grand Canyon is 1.5-2 hours from Flagstaff, and Prescott is another 1.5-2 hours from Sedona. So it is probably better not to base yourself in one location anyway unless you what to spend most of your trip in a car.

I grew up in Phoenix so yes, I've spent a lot of time in those places. I remember when Sedona had just one paved road and one stop light, LOL. Later, I wrote a book concerning the logging history of Flagstaff. That was fun to do. I had a chance to work on the Grand Canyon Railroad - and spent a few days there to check it out. But I didn't take it in order to accept an Engineer position with another railroad in the mid-west. I just thought of this. When I was a teenager, I had a truck driving job from Phx to Sedona to Flagstaff. One rainy night I was on the Oak Creek Canyon switchbacks. There had been a rock slide. I pushed a rather large rock over the side so I could get by. That damaged the truck far more than I imagined it would. But I was a hero at work for getting through and the job done in the face of adversity. LOL.

Skywalk is a new attraction at the Grand Canyon. It's a glass bridge that goes out partway into the canyon. Since it only goes partway, it's shaped like a horseshoe. An Indian tribe built it.

They also have a lodge that has an Indian theme for $80 a night in the summer/ busy season. Winter???
Using directory search at Yahoo (Web, Shopping, News, DIRECTORY) brings up a lot of matches without the BS. Try keywords like Sedona Arizona cabin or Grand Canyon lodging

I have been to Sedona many times and find the bed and breakfasts to be just as nice as a cabin experience. There are many in the area and they all offer different levels of rooms. Some are free standing, like at L'Auberge, they have cabins by the lake off of their resort and some are big houses converted into an inn. Most have their own balconies, fireplaces and jetted tubs. I think that this is definitely a much more romantic way to go.

This is a great place to stay. Affordable, cutesy/woodsy interiors, restaurant on property that has good breakfast and close to all the winter activities up at the SnowBowl (skiing, tubing, etc). I've stayed at these cabins twice and have been very comfortable (both for myself and my wallet!). Hope you have a good time in AZ's cold country.
By the way, these are close to Flagstaff but within easy commuting distance of Sedona.

Sedona used to be cool...try Bend Oregon or Kailua beach Hawaii
