Beautiful location for our family spring break

This is the perfect location for our family spring break. The house is comfortable, clean and in a great location. We LOVED the hike from the property and really enjoyed a mix of exploring the town and spending time recharging at the house.

Great stay!

We loved this home in Sedona. 4 miles to west Sedona and centrally located to many other towns. The best part is the hiking right out of the back yard. Mike was great and by far the best VRBO host I’ve used.

Great February Stay

Mike was the best. The property is as advertised and it was great to go out the back gate and get up to Slippery Rock and just look out. I would definitely stay here again. The house was well appointed and Mike had great recomendations.

Beautiful getaway location

A realy great place to stay. The scenery in the area is some of the best in Sedona. Nice cozy house and beautiful yard. Star gazing from the comfy patio chairs was great. We cooked our meals in the well stocked kitchen. I hope to visit again.

I spent a month at the gorgeous home in West Sedona. It has everything you could want or need for a comfortable and enjoyable retreat as well as some special treats like a hot tub, espresso machine, and deck with the most amazingly comfortable chairs where you can just sit and enjoy the amazing mountains. The host is awesome and does all he can to make your stay the best it can be. This is my 2nd time staying at this beautiful home and I hope to be back in the not to distant future

We loved our stay at this property! The scenery on the way to the home is spectacular and the location is really fabulous. The home itself is lovely! It is a property where you feel more like a guest than a customer - it's very welcoming, clean and comfortable - and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the backyard setting so much - it is relaxing and peaceful with beautiful landscaping and trees. We never hiked out back so we can't comment on those trails - but Sedona has so much outstanding hiking to offer! We ventured out each day and can't say enough about how amazing this area is! And the hot tub was a real bonus after miles and miles of daily hiking. Mike is a very responsive and helpful host and provides excellent tips and local knowledge in the house manual. 5 stars all around!

A great place…

The view, trail access (out the rear gate) relaxing backyard, great beds, lots of amenities! We thoroughly enjoyed the house. After a day of hiking it’s a wonderful respite. The location is convenient just minutes off 89A, in a quiet valley. It’s the home base you need to enjoy all the best of Sedona.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting

The house is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. It has everything you would need and the meticulous care the owner has taken to ensure guest comforts is evident in the details. If we are ever in the area again (which is likely because it has such incredible natural beauty) we would stay here in a heartbeat. Highly recommend !

We had a wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay here. The house is beautiful, the open design is very functional, and there is lots of space inside and out. The house was very clean, and we had everything we needed. The property manager replied quickly to a question and comment. The Red Rock Loop Rd drive to the house is scenic with great views of Cathedral Rock.

Amazing host and amazing house

We just stayed there - my husband and I and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and it was amazing. Our host Michael was so accommodating and was so thoughtful. He even supplied passes so we could get into Grand Canyon without having to pay. He thinks of everything. 5+ plus stars. Great communicator and so quick with his responses.

Absolute perfection!

WOW--we had the absolute best time at this total gem. Mike was very communicative when needed, but left us to enjoy the property on our own! The rooms were spacious, the kitchen was incredible, and the natural light flowing in at all times of the day was healing. The hike just out the backdoor provides some of the best views in all of Sedona. I can't say enough good things about this place. I've never been a repeat visitor to a rental but I'm already desperate to get back here!

Wonderful house.

This property is really well appointed and in a fabulous location far enough away from the hustle & bustle of Sedona but close enough to get to the many restaurants, stores etc. The house is spotless and is very well-equipped and well-stocked. There are no faults with this house - we loved our time staying in it. The owner is always prompt and responsive to any question. We would definitely return here if we were ever lucky enough to go back tobeautiful Sedona.

Feels like home

The drive to this house is beautiful and the minute we stepped through the door we felt at home. After a day of hiking we enjoyed making meals in the large, well appointed kitchen. We appreciated all of the little touches: yoga mats, blankets, a welcome basket, green cleaning products, comfortable beds, and plenty of areas for lounging. The home is secluded but a short drive to restaurants and activities- and we hiked right out the front door. We highly recommend this home and look forward to returning!

An Amazing Getaway!

This property was absolutely amazing! The location was perfect and it felt like we were away from everything yet close enough to town to enjoy all the fun activities we had planned. The home had all the amenities anyone could want and then some. We didn’t realize there was a hot tub until we got there so it was a pleasant surprise. As advertised, you can walk right out the back and hike into the red rocks which was amazing! Mike is a great host and responded quickly to any questions we had. He takes beautiful care of the home and property. We definitely plan to come back!

Thoughtful Property Close to Trails

The rental was lovely, very thoughtfully stocked with biodegradable and organic items. We appreciated the gifts of organic tea and chocolate, loved watching the sunset in the outdoor chairs, soft comfy blankets and fantastic tub. The property is very quiet- you can’t hear any cars or road noise at all. Water out of the tap tasted great. Felt safe and very comfortable for two female friends traveling together. Highly recommend the trails in this area and be sure to stop at the viewpoint on the way in!
