We only stayed for one night but the owner is extremely friendly and hospitable! This is such a lovely comfortable place to stay. You cannot beat the views! We even got to see the farm animals! Thank you for having us and hope to stay again next year!
This place has enough so all you need are to pack clothes and food. The host is knowledgable of the area and friendly. It's a nice break from Phoenix heat and higher elevation is further up the road.
Great place to stay! Lovely views and peaceful vibes. Thank you for everything!

I absolutely loved staying here. The cottage was perfect and a lovely retreat. The fires at night were absolutely amazing. Love the location and a special shout-out to both Joe and Kyle. Joe has such a deep appreciation for the history and both were so passionate about the animals and what they were doing! Couldn’t recommend it enough!
Our experience was so nice and relaxing. So many games at the home and a cozy space. My pups had space to roam outside and of course the farm and sunset views were the best part
I had a nice long stay at Joe’s little mountaintop farm. The views across the desert are awesome, and the cottage is a sweet little place to stay. Joe and all of his animals are very friendly and hospitable.
Our stay was really unforgettable.
The home was cozy and had everything we needed. Host went above and beyond and the kids loved visiting with the animals.
The cottage was beautiful and peaceful. We loved the record player helped bring us back to a feeling of when life was less busy! Joe was very communitive and nice. We cant wait to come stay again!
The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and then some! Loved the animals, the views, Joseph was very communicative and friendly. Zero complaints, only kudos.
Had a great time staying at the stone cottage. It was so nice to unplug, sit in front of the fireplace at night and just relax. The farm animals are really fun and the fresh eggs are amazing. The location is close enough to get to Sedona to enjoy the trails and amenities but not have to deal with the crowds. We'll definitely be back!
This was the perfect getaway. Joe was very helpful, let me know that I could check in early, and generously introduced me to the animals and shared ideas for activities in the area. The cottage was spotless and a nice mix of yesterday and modern conveniences. Location-wise, it was away from it all but still convenient to Sedona and local attractions. There was plenty of privacy, and the sunsets were breathtaking.
The place was a great getaway from the noise of the city to the tranquility of the nature, where you get to enjoy fresh breeze, have a hill-top view, and great for stargazing at night.
You get to meet and feed some chicken, ducks, geese, goats, and turkeys, which was so much fun.
There are so many hiking trails nearby as well.
Joe was very friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.
I would definitely consider visiting again!
We absolutely loved our stay here, our kids had a blast visiting with all the animals, the home is very clean and cozy. The view off the porch is so cool, the front yard is fenced in which was perfect for kids and dog. Joe is very hospitable and made sure we had everything we need, he even gave us a bunch of goose, duck and chicken eggs. It’s a little off the beaten path but would absolutely recommend staying here to make fun memories with your family they will never forget!
If you want to visit Sedona or the surrounding areas. You want to stay at this location if you can! It’s up on a hill away from it all with a complete live stock right next to you- (didn’t hear them at all at night or day). The cabin has EVERYTHING! & there are fabulous farm fresh eggs! 10/10 would recommend.

Unique spot with character, views and animal friends nearby. Sparkling with details, it shows the love invested. Skip the hotels near the freeway and find personality instead. Only mistake we made is not spend enough time.

What a great little cottage! Very clean and quaint. Joe the owner was very friendly and knowledgeable and allowed us to enjoy every inch of the property. The animals were fun to be around and were very excited to see us each morning and evening around feeding time. Enjoyed the fire pit every evening and amazed at all the stars we were able to see. Great experience and great weekend! Thank you Joe!

About the host
Hosted by Joe
I am transitioning to farm life, as I develop my 2.7 and 6.8 acre neighboring properties for horses, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, bees and rabbits. Looking to turn this historic property homes and remaining property into an aquaponics and traditional farm that is self supporting and a source of education for locals, students, guests. As well as a local source for neighboring restaurants. Watch the property come alive and evolve, as I bring the rich history of this property from late 1920's dude ranch for stars and VIPs thru the 1950's to the 1960's vacation and getaway for the Mafia...into sustainable growing ranch and farm.
Why they chose this property
The ranch is located less than 3 miles from highway 17. From here you can easily travel to all of the sites and activities that the Verde Valley has to offer, without getting stuck in the tourist traffic of Sedona. Your one exist south of Sedona, One exit north of Camp Verde, east of Cornville and Cottonwood.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the panoramic views with great sunsets. The Cottage overlooks a 40 acre ranch with cattle, that roam the area. There are goats (7 new ones born in May and April), Geese, Peking Ducks, Running Ducks, Muscovy Ducks, Turkeys, chickens and a bee hive. Fetch your own fresh eggs daily. Detach and escape your busy life with your very own animal relaxation crew...lol
