We moved to this family owned ranch in 1992. We built the guesthouse next to our home for my husband's great aunt to enjoy her ranch in her senior years. Now that she is gone, it is the perfect place for an unusual vacation rental in the heart of Northern Arizona. Our guests are grateful to be tucked away each night in a private, peaceful place to restore for the next day's activities.
We live on a historic Ranch near Sedona where the livestock was driven through Sedona on their way to the Summer pastures near Flagstaff. We love to garden,watch the cows graze, and read when there's time.
