The property now includes high speed Starlink internet, Guests can access all areas except two small closets used for supplies. Jack's Canyon is a quiet part of the Village of Oak Creek. Some say the canyon is named for the original homesteader of this area, Jack Speed. Others say it got its name from Jack Woods, a railroad engineer stationed out of Winslow AZ who use to graze sheep in this canyon in the 19th century. Javelina, coyotes, black-tailed jack rabbits, cottontails, gambels quail, raptors, tarantulas, scorpions, bobcats and snakes roam this valley. They don’t want to hurt you, don’t approach them and they won’t. The Village of Oak Creek (aka the VOC) has some wonderful eating spots. Our faves: Butterfly Burger, Cucina Rustica and the Colt 804 grill BBQ. Associated Grocery store is 5 minutes from the house as are great golf courses and excellent shopping. Rent bikes from Absolute Bikes in the VOC. Some local hotels offer day passes to enjoy their pools including the nearby Hilton Spa. Hiking in the area is unparalleled. You must visit Bell Rock, 10 minutes from the house. Sedona is a 20 minute drive and has a wealth of restaurants, hikes and other attractions. We are an hour to Flagstaff, 2 hours to Phoenix. Our family has owned this special home for four decades. It is managed by our friends Bill and Sandi who live nearby and take care of the home as if it were their own.
