About this property

Sam Hill's Cottage In historic Prescott Arizona

Sam Hill's Cottage, built in 1934, has the charm of Prescott history with the conveniences of today (NEW CENTRAL AC!!!) . Owned by a descendant of Sam Hill and nestled among granite hills, our cottage is a true Prescott experience. Founded in 1877 The Sam'l Hill Hardware Company was destroyed along with the rest of Whiskey Row on Montezuma Street during the infamous Prescott Fire. By 1903 the rebuilt store soon became the region's largest hardware supplier. "Why in the Sam Hill are you telling me this" you ask? Because we want you to experience Prescott past and present in Sam Hill's Cottage.

Great Little Cottage

Had a great time. Place was perfect size for our needs, although the listing stated the living room couch was a pull out bed and it's not. Loved the shaded patio for breakfast. Perfectly tucked away, but close to historic district.

Beautiful setting, quiet neighborhood, great place to stay!

Sam Hill Cottage is nestled at the end of a short street -- no traffic, no noise with only a short drive to downtown Prescott, grocery stores, and other activities (fair grounds/rodeo/restaurants). It's beautifully refurbished with a well-equipped modern kitchen and separate washer/dryer room. The host was readily accessible and helpful. We will definitely stay there again. Jim & Karel

Perfect spot

This house is tucked away almost at the end of a dead end street, nestled up into the boulders that are the hallmark of Prescott's landscape. Quiet, clean, and perfectly appointed. It was our second time here and we'll definitely check for this property first any time we're planning a trip to the area.
