A phenomenal place for our family gathering! The mid-October weather was perfect so having great outdoor seating was delightful, offering lovely spaces to visit with each other. Of course everyone enjoyed discovering the unique and unusual places and furnishings used throughout the home to engage and enchant guests. Our host quickly responded to a couple of questions I had, which makes such a difference on a first stay somewhere. Everything from arrival and entry to check out was set up to be easy and enjoyable for guests.

Our stay at the Sedona of Rockford was truly phenomenal. The property is beautiful, impeccably decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Every amenity is well thought out and intentional. The gardens are truly stunning. When we needed to communicate with the host, she was readily available and incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an incredibly unique stay, just off the beaten path!

A unique property with beautiful outdoor areas! The host was very helpful and prompt with answering any questions we had. We had a remarkable stay here! The only caveat we had is that the property is hard for anyone with mobility issues. Other than that this is one you will want to book!!

The house was very unique and had everything we needed. The backyard was especially nice to enjoy the many seating areas. The cantina had a musty odor, so we didn't get to use it, but there were lots of other places to hang out. The master bed was quite firm for those who like that. We did receive instructions not to move anything, but found working in the kitchen difficult with the many decorations. We needed to move some things for more counter space, but replaced when we left. Overall it was a fun and clean place to stay.

Oh my gosh! I wasn't aware there was any issue with the cantina, I'm so sorry! No one has ever said anything, good to know so we can do something about that. Maybe we should add that if one wishes to move things around for convenience, as long as everything is put back, that would be fine. I'm so pleased you had a fun stay, and we would love to host you again!

I can’t say enough good things about this place! It’s absolutely stunning inside and out. My friend and I held a murder mystery party and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and strategize with each other! Every single person was absolutely impressed with the Sedona. Someone had even been there before and was excited to come back!They were extremely accommodating and friendly throughout the whole process. The house was spotless. I was actually sad to leave the next day! If we ever do it again, we know we already have the most perfect location to go back to! You can tell that thought and care goes into every inch of the house. I’m truly obsessed!

An absolutely beautiful home, inside and out. We had our son's wedding there, where I cooked for about 20 guests. The kitchen was nicely equipped for such a task. Very easy communication throughout the stay as well. I highly recommend this place for any special occasion. Everyone was very comfortable there, and we had ages 8 to 92 sstaying with us!

We are so pleased you experienced such a wonderful wedding and all that entails! Wow, you cooked for 20! Impressive, to say the least, putting weddings together are such a joy! Hope the happy couple can return for their anniversaries, and celebrate with all those who helped make this such a memorable occasion!

We had an amazing time for my birthday getaway. The only downside was that the power went out for quite a while due to the high winds but they delivered some flashlights for us in no time! This home is so beautiful- words can not describe. I definitely want to stay here again.

Really fun house to stay in. My wife, adult kids, and I enjoyed all the amenities and especially liked the outdoor areas with various places to hang out. The hosts obviously took meticulous care to craft such interesting areas in and around the house. The basement and arcade room were a blast too except my daughter destroyed me repeatedly in the Marvel game and Dig Dug LOL. I got her in Galaga though. Easy to hang out at the house and be tempted to not go anywhere else.
