Oasis Retreat Nestled Near World Renown Hiking

*NEW HIGH SPEED STARTLINK INTERNET APRIL 2023*

Located at the end of the road in private Jack's Canyon, the Pine Valley neighborhood is surrounded on three sides by scenic cliffs on public land. Great hiking begins just minutes from the front door. In this tranquility, we see an abundance of local wildlife, including javalina, quail, and even the occasional bobcat. We are also just a few minutes away from the gourmet restaurants, spas, galleries, and bike rentals in the Village of Oak Creek.

This Arts and Crafts inspired home has been our personal residence for 30 years. The home's exterior is Japanese/Southwest inspired, set in a lush oasis of mature landscaping and green lawns. The handcrafted interior is all about details, ranging from custom wood trim and inlays to local colored sand plastered walls. The ambiance of this home is one of warmth, beauty, serenity, and comfort.

If you need more space for your group, there is a private 600 sq foot studio on the property with a separate entrances and patio that may be rented to a maximum of 2 guests. There are no shared walls and the studio is only connected by a detached lock out door. Nothing in the house or studio are shared.

We are an approved Vacation Rental TPT#2136858.

Simply Magical

First time in Sedona and it did not disappoint. The neighborhood is quiet with an impressive red rock back drop and the property leaned into the zen vibes of the area. Katie was quick to respond with suggestions for our family to explore and places to eat. Just outside downtown Sedona but the drive through red rocks makes it worth the extra distance.

Exquisite, remote, quite, and comfy

This place is in a beautiful tucked away canyon. We loved it. The whole house has a unique design. We were very comfortable as we used it as a home base for our adventures. There is so much to do in the area including hiking, jeep tours, shopping, and hundreds of unique artsy shops. You really can't go wrong. Finally the internet wasn't bad at all for us.

Another great stay!

This was my second time enjoying Sedona from this quaint property in Oak Creek, and this time I brought my girlfriends from NY and CA. The three of us slept comfortably, enjoyed yoga on the back porch, and spent our days hiking Sedona’s beautiful trails. Tucked away from the traffic in Sedona proper, this home is quiet, shaded, and close enough to enjoy downtown Sedona’s restaurants and shops. (And the book collection is one of the best we’ve seen!) We will definitely be returning…Thank you Katie for being so responsive and friendly!

Lovely

Like a previous review of this property it was a bit more than I usually spend for a VRBO but from the moment my family pulled up to the drive we were in love. The neighborhood was quiet, the views amazing and the house was gorgeous. We had neighbors in the guest house almost every night but it was still very private and we saw them next to never. The communication from the owner was excellent.

First Time in Sedona

My family and I came for a family wedding. It was our first time to the Sedona area. The Oasis Retreat was an amazing stay! We loved the beautiful architecture of the home. It was inviting from the moment we opened the door. The owners had everything clearly set up for an easy arrival. All the amenities the home offered was just what we need to feel at home away from home. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to the area that wants a very nice stay away from the busy tourist scene down in Sedona.

Great unique stay

I’m a tough critic of homes. This place was fantastic in every way. Great lighting with the skylights. Very clean. Great collection of books and maps to help with hiking. Probably the best stocked place we have stayed at… spices , olive oil, plastic bags, etc. this made it very convenient. We also saw a coyote in the front yard one morning which was cool. Highly recommend for a unique stay in Sedona

Perfect Getaway

We had the best experience at your property. Just two of us, so we splurged with a little more space than we needed...but it was so perfect! Two sitting areas, big kitchen; loved the layout of the space. We had not been to Sedona in 7 years and BOY is it busy with traffic! Staying here, in Jack's Canyon...we loved the peace and tranquility the area/home provided; while still close enough to Sedona to go for galleries, dining, car show. Hiking trails are so close to the house. We're really grateful to have spent 6 nights with you.

Beautiful house and location

This is a very unique house that has been carefully tended over the years. We made a fire in the fireplace and relaxed after a long journey. The kitchen is well stocked and clean as is the laundry room. Beds are super comfortable. The single full bath is jack and jill which made it a little awkward. We would have liked an outdoor space with a table to have meals. We were disappointed that we couldn’t see the red rock bluffs from inside or the small deck. The house is truly an architectural gem with beautiful woodwork.

Sedona Oasis

This property is a very special place. Located in a quiet neighborhood it is a peaceful retreat after a day of hiking on the beautiful Sedona trails. The house has been lovingly cared for, comfortable, and unique. I especially liked the many windows and skylights, and the tv/sun room was my favorite. One evening we were visited by a bobcat on the porch. It was a bit cold to enjoy the outside seating areas, but would be an excellent spot to enjoy the stars in the dark sky neighborhood. Would definitely consider returning.

Beautiful and Peaceful

The location of Katie's house was beautiful and very easy to get to and away from the busyness of Sedona. We found a great breakfast place down the street next to Clarks Grocery Store. I believe the name is Red Rock Cafe. The views to walk around the house were awesome. The house itself was as described. We did have neighbors on the other side, but we saw them only once in the 4 days we were there and that was while we were both heading out to hike that morning. This was our first trip to Sedona, and it won't be our last. Thank you.
