About this property

Cottonwood Private Retreat Heated Pool & Gardens

Stay in Cottonwood, Arizona, in this comfortable multi-building garden retreat with 10 bedrooms for gatherings that fit the listing capacity. Swim in the private pool, relax in the fenced garden and gazebos, and cook in your choice of two separate full kitchens. With Wi-Fi, AC, in-unit washer and dryer, and free parking, it is an easy base for families and retreat groups exploring Sedona, Jerome and the entire Verde Valley.

Step inside Kapila Gardens, a fenced one-acre garden compound with a main house, attached apartment, garage den, and garden casitas. VRBO lists 10 bedrooms, 12 beds, and 3.5 baths.

The main house has a primary bedroom with private bath and a full kitchen with island seating. The apartment adds its own kitchen area and bath. The garage den has a queen bed and queen sofa bed. Four casitas offer single beds when included in your stay.

Swim in the private heated pool, sit outside under the covered porch overlooking the pool and garden, take a stroll and explore the grounds, find a private small gazebo to sit in solitude or with friends and family under the large gazebo, then relax with a movie on the TV with Netflix.

Wish we could’ve stayed there longer!

We had a great stay in Cottonwood and this place was perfect. Spacious and clean… nice to stretch out after being in hotels for the prior week. Location was private and it felt like a little oasis. Amazing park like gardens and the pool hit the spot too. Next time we’ll bring the extended family too and fully take advantage of the property!

We were a family of 5 adults celebrating birthdays. The house was a perfect size for us. We especially enjoyed the amazing garden with all the walk ways and various seating areas. And the pool came in handy as it was hot during our stay. Can't say enough how we enjoyed our stay at this property and would most definitely stay there again!

Great Getaway To Arizona

This house is amazing for anybody who wants to stay near Sedona with a family. The garden is beautiful and huge---pictures can't properly show this. Our family spent a lot of time in the garden and the pool. The stars are amazing at night. The size of the house is suitable for a large family due to the attached apartment and the number of rooms and bathrooms. We really have no complaints and would definitely stay here again if we were to return to the area.

Spacious house, beautiful yard

I rented this house for my group of friends traveling to the area for a visit to Sedona and wine tasting. The house was perfect with a large kitchen and all the tools for cooking for our group. We had the main house and connected apartment. It was roomy, very clean and the beds were comfy. The backyard was spectacular with a winding path and spots to have morning coffee. It’s conveniently located for Sedona, Jerome and the Verde Valley Wine trail. We all want to come back next year.
