About this property

The Great Escape - come ski, hike, explore the lava tubes- your adventures await

Snowbowl is a magical mountain for any season. The winter offers skiing, snowboarding, and snow mobiling. The spring is in full bloom with Bluebells, Sunflowers and Indian Paintbrushes. Summer is an endless journey through biking trails, walking trails and a breathtaking sky ride up the San Francisco Peaks. Fall brings about watercolor images of Birch trees, Aspen trees, and Evergreens. Every season, at every time of the day brings about a magical, breathtaking sensation.

Our home is newly furnished with top of the line appliances and high quality leather furniture. The large, open floorplan of the house offers families and friends the ability to interact whether it be playing, dining, or relaxing. On the other hand, when you are ready to retire for the evening, your private sanctuary is secluded and quiet. This home offers something for everyone. Walk out the back door into the wilderness, hop on your skis and take a cross county ride, or just sit on the couch and gaze into the beauty that is Flagstaff!

The host was very nice and quickly fixed the issue with the natural gas when the boiler went out, but we did not have hot water or heat for one night. The house was a nice lay out, but there were some issues. I didn’t like that there was not a TV in the main room. The carpet in the bathroom was unappealing. The main issue was the home had a strong odor. I don’t know if it was from the hot tub inside or the cleaning supplies, but I would not recommend this home for anyone that is sensitive to smells or chemicals.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Apr, 2026
This rental situation was unfortunate from the start. Our guests requested an early check-in, which we were able to provide (as we do whenever possible), yet inconsiderately they arrived much later at their convenience. Upon arrival, the guests called to state that the house had a chemical smell. We explained that the hot tub had been treated and the house had been cleaned & disinfected, as it is prior to each guest arrival. The guest then called right back to complain that there was no TV in the main part of the house. We gently told them that there were several other TVs, the largest in the media room. We explained that the main part of living space was to enjoy the magnificent view of the mountain. They strongly disagreed! The guests threatened to leave immediately and we agreed to refund them the remaining nights. The guests took the night to discuss and chose to stay, stating they would air out the house. Regrettably, later the next night the boiler system went out. The repair man was there first thing the next morning and immediately resolved the issue. Again, we generously offered to refund all but the one night, but they opted to stay. With over 175 “5”star reviews, it is apparent that we strive for excellence- this just happened to be an unpleasant situation.

Amazing Views

We loved staying at this home for our Arizona vacation. Waking up to beautiful views of Humphrey’s Peak each morning, centrally located for travel to Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon, and Sedona. Close to Flagstaff, but away from the noise and traffic. Spacious home, well stocked kitchen, and a wood burning stove for those chilly nights.

We stayed in this home which was near to our friend's wedding venue. We were supposed to be traveling with our 4 daughters, but last minute had to change plans and ended up having 3 other couples stay with us. The house had so much community space and allowed everyone to have their own private space, too. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything that we needed. We couldn't have been happier with the location and the fun (ping pong and a pool table) that this home provided. We were out of the hustle of the town, but near enough that getting to restaurants and shops was quick and easy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, wish we could've stayed longer. Open floor plan and no big TV's in the downstairs living room created a family bonding atmosphere, where games were played and meals enjoyed together.
