About this property

The Garden Oasis on the National Forest

Welcome to my home! Just renovated, super clean, in a quiet neighborhood 240' from the Sugarloaf trailhead, we invite you for serenity and renewal. Created by an artist (moi) and full of original art, this is a home of beauty. Enjoy the views while relaxing on the sofa, listening to the sound of running water, or book a massage with our neighbor Jacob. We offer easy trail access, fast internet, a complete kitchen, tea / coffee, a laundry area, guide books, free parking.. and peace and beauty.

This is a house of healing, full of light. There are lovely outdoor sitting areas, a place to lock your bike, and lots of flowers and greenery. Roll out the door and head 240' up the street to access the National Forest and miles and miles of hiking trails. Watch the sunset from the side of Sugarloaf, and catch Sedona's amazing star show (we're a dark skies (light free) zone.

There is a separate studio on on the side of the house where Theresa lives. The 2 units are completely separate, but please be aware that there is some noise overlap between the 2 spaces.

This is a special neighborhood. A highly respected Sedona massage therapist, Jacob Massey, lives across the street. Celeste, who does Myofascia release and works on a number of famous athletes based in the PHX area lives around the corner. Both are available for private sessions; if interested, let me know, I'll send you their contact info.

There's free parking in the carport. As to getting around the neighborhood it's best to walk as it's all of 3 blocks.

We purposely do not have a TV. It's about you time, not distractions.

My husband and I enjoyed our 3 night stay. The place is convenient to trail heads and restaurants and we loved sitting in the outside areas. There is a gorgeous view from the street, although you can't see it while sitting on the patio. It's an older home, but we liked the style. The bathroom, in particular, could use updating but everything was comfortable and clean. Loved the spider plant!

A wonderful getaway

My husband and I stayed here for a 20th anniversary trip. This listing is in the perfect location for rest and relaxation. We enjoyed the proximity to a wonderful trail in the neighborhood and it felt peaceful away from the busyness of Sedona. We had a wonderful stay.

Holiday getaway with family

Very clean property, and well supplied kitchen. We were able to prepare a nice dinner for us and our son's girlfriend and parents. Comfortable accommodations and very nice to have an RO filter for drinking water. Nearby were walking trails that were also well utilized. Conveniently located for our needs. Recommended!

Trailhead Oasis

The house was very clean, relaxing and peaceful. It is a short walking distance to Sugarloaf trailhead which we had the opportunity to enjoy sunrise and sunset views. The neighborhood was quiet and I felt safe. I would stay here again.

Incredibly close to terrific trailhead

The Garden Oasis was perfect for our 3-night stay in Sedona. The house is nestled into a nice, quiet neighborhood, and the Sugarloaf trailhead is only about 4 houses away. We walked that trail each evening we were there, and talked about how we would definitely make that walk part of our nightly routine if we lived there. So pleasant and scenic! We enjoyed cooking and relaxing at the property, too, which was comfortable and homey. Peggy was a great communicator when we had questions. Highly recommended!

Cozy home with beautiful views

The location of this home is great. Beautiful views, an outdoor seating area, and a kitchen that made eating at home easy. It was a cold rainy weekend in Sedona at the time of our visit, this left us stuck inside with our little one. We were fully aware there was no TV when we booked our visit, however the weather had us stuck in bed watching movies from a cell phone. We brought our own pack and play and sheets for our child to sleep in, but the home was cold for her, the host was very hesitant to give us the keys to unlock the thermostat to change the temp. The sheets in the bedroom are 0 polyester, which for us was very uncomfortable/ lots of static. Overall a good stay.

Clean, peaceful, convenient location

I was impressed by the cleanliness of the property, not a bit of dust anywhere. The space felt open and airy, was well lit, quiet and comfortable. I enjoyed the abundance of indoor plants and natural light, as well as the views of the very nearby mountains. If you want to spend your time outside on this trip, you'll be close to the Sugarloaf and Andante trailheads, which connect you to many other trails and destinations. The neighborhood and home were both incredibly quiet, so if you're not planning to be, this isn't the spot for you- but I was quite grateful for the safe, comfortable retreat spot! Owner Peggy was communicative and prompt with responses, and shared her own thoughtfully composed guide for the area in addition many maps, guidebooks, magazines, etc. Basic furnishings in kitchen, a washer and dryer, plus a carport were all nice to have, as well.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Sands

Hello! I am an artist, meditator, workshop instructor and graphic designer ...and an active, outdoor person, who bikes everywhere, eats healthy, grows my own veggies, hikes, climbs, etc.
A professional artist, I paint and teach both drawing and painting, and I love to create. Most everything in and around the Garden Oasis I've made. My house is an ongoing art project and love affair. I hope you enjoy staying here as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Sedona is so very beautiful and so powerful. A walk out back in the canyon changes my world in a moment. Time stops – the beauty and majesty of the red rocks leave me in silence and awe. I hope while staying in my home you are also enveloped in this silence and enchanted beauty. "Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved."

Why they chose this property

My home has a meditators energy, and we work hard to maintain the silent and peace of the house ...and this magic is palatable when you walk in. It is very clean, relax to the sound of running water from the water feature.
Located in a very quiet neighborhood off the main streets, with almost no through traffic it has a old style neighborhood charm. The national forest is just up the street, yet downtown West Sedona; major supermarkets, (Safeway, Basha's, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods, etc. health food and restaurants are within a 5 minute drive or 15-20 minute walk.. We offer a full kitchen, for easy meal preparation with a 5 stage reverse osmosis water filter.
Essentially, this is a place to find healing and a space to get away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Love, Silence, Peace
Miles and miles of trails start at the top of the street in the National Forest
Dark skies, stars horizon to horizon
Gardens
Massage therapist on site and available to be booked in advance
Water filter
Washer / Dryer
