Arizona Nordic Village

The yurt was so cozy and cute! It was pretty cold when we were there, but the fireplace kept it toasty inside. We got some snow our last night there, and we were happy there was someone plowing the parking lot the next morning so we could get out. The coin shower was nice and warm, but make sure you get tokens while someone is around the lodge.

Nordic Village is the perfect place to stay after a visit to the Grand Canyon for some solitude. Flagstaff is seeing some snow in mid-November, and the yurt is so warm from the contained fireplace.

Pups can start for an extra $10/night.

We had previously stayed in a back country yurt in the summer months, this time we decided to stay in a cabin in the front country for NYE. It was quiet, especially considering it was NYE (no wild parties, noisy neighbors, etc) which was nice and what we were hoping for. The cabin is stocked with firewood for the stove, has a small table and two chairs, and a queen sized mattress/pad and a bunk bed with mattress pads. Some of these cabins are renovated, but the one we stayed in was not. Still found it to be comfortable. Note that you do have to bring your own sleeping bag/bedding. The lodge had bathrooms, including showers, flushing toilets, and two sinks. There are pit toilets outside but I went inside to use the bathrooms (they are open 24/7). The lodge opens with staff in the morning and there is free coffee/hot chocolate for those staying/camping at AZ Nordic Village. You can also rent snow shoes or cross country skis here during the day in the winter. I enjoy staying here, both front and back country are great.
