Village of Oak Creek

Nestled amid the dramatic red rock landscapes of northern Arizona, the Village of Oak Creek—often referred to simply as “The Village”—offers a peaceful yet scenic counterpart to nearby Sedona. Located about seven miles south of Sedona along Arizona State Route 179, this unincorporated community is part of the Coconino National Forest and is celebrated for its natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and relaxed atmosphere. The Village is also often mistaken for Oak Creek Canyon, which in fact, the two locations are different and even located about 11.5 miles apart from each other. Oak Creek Canyon is the more woodsy corridor of Sedona on the way to Flagstaff where Grasshopper Point, Slide Rock, cabins, and camping along a creek are enjoyed.

And unlike the bustling tourist centers in Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek boasts a quieter, more residential feel, making it a favorite for those seeking tranquility without sacrificing access to the area’s iconic geological wonders. The community is surrounded by towering rock formations such as Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte, which provide a stunning backdrop for hiking, photography, and spiritual reflection. Its location also serves as a convenient starting point for adventures throughout Red Rock Country.

The Village features a variety of amenities, including art galleries, locally-owned restaurants, golf courses, and boutique accommodations. Whether you're planning a vacation or looking to explore northern Arizona's high desert lifestyle, the Village of Oak Creek offers a charming and authentic alternative to the more crowded corners of Sedona.
