Big Springs Cabins

Big Springs Cabins provide a unique opportunity to stay in a historic cabin as part of Arizona's Rooms with a View cabin rental program. Made up of of seven cabins that can be rented individually, Big Springs is located on the beautiful Kaibab Plateau next to a flowing spring with the same name. The cabins share a kitchen, common area, and bathroom facilities.

The Big Springs cabin site is located approximately 30 miles south of Fredonia, AZ on Forest Service Road 22 and about an hour drive from the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.

The cabins are about a 35-minute drive from the Rainbow Rim Trail, a winding 18-mile hiking and mountain biking trail on the forest that offers stunning views from five scenic overlooks along the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

The cabins are a perfect base camp for day hikes on the Kaibab Plateau, or for group retreats in the cool pines.

Visitors can enjoy picnicking, sight-seeing, wildlife viewing, and access to scenic overlooks of the Grand Canyon.
