Delicious food and an extra fun surprise if you mention it’s your birthday. Fun and inviting atmosphere. Seating is limited so aim for a less-popular time of day. If you end up having to wait— it’s worth it! The only menu item we don’t recommend is the tostada. 12 min. drive from the Cottage.

Tasty food in a fun and open atmosphere located in the Country Club golf course. Indoor and outdoor seating. No reservations needed because there is a lot of seating available. My favorite dish is a huge spicy Cajun pasta (split or save half for later) or the Sonoma Chicken. Whipped feta is a fun side dish. 12-min drive.

Hiking Trailheads

We love to hike! We’ve been hiking Flagstaff for over 8 years and have barely made a dent in the trailheads available. We have a Kelty hiking backpack if you need to take Baby/Toddler along!
One of our favorite and most-frequently-visited hikes. Family-friendly, with lava caves to explore and incredible views of Doney Park at the top. 2 miles round-trip. Can get steep but is not technical. Keep an eye on small children near the top due to abundant cave openings. 3 min from Oak Ranch Cottage.
