Great little house in a perfect location

This house is exactly as pictured and was perfect for our weekend stay in Cottonwood. Our favorite part was the beautifully landscaped front yard, where we could hear live music from one of the nearby bars on Main street. Our whole family (incl. 2 kids and a dog) spent each evening sitting out in the front yard enjoying the weather, scenery, and music.

Awesome location!

The host was great! Made sure we had everything we needed upon check in and was very easy to reach throughout our stay. You can’t beat the location - it is just a few minutes walk to all the shops and restaurants. Nice deck and a TV in the living room. We also ate at Adriana’s right next door and were served by Adriana herself. She was the sweetest and definitely recommend eating there if you get the chance.

Thank you for that wonderful five star review Georgeanne.. We also appreciate your great communication as well. We are glad you liked Adriana‘s Mexican food next-door.

Cactus Blossum

We loved The Cactus Blossum. Everything was as advertised. The location is excellent for exploring Oldtown Cottonwood with easy access to the rest of the Verde Valley. The property has been updated and is very comfortable. The landlord was quick to respond to our inquires prior to our stay. The home is well maintained and very cute.
