About this property

The Perch - Mountain modern retreat where Flagstaff meets the sky

"The Perch" says it all. This well appointed mountain modern gem is located a few minutes walk through the woods from the historic Lowell Observatory and a few more minutes from down town Flagstaff. Perhaps one of the best views in town.

The unit has its own private entrance, a full kitchen with dishwasher, refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave, separate bedroom with new mattress and bedding, Smart TV with many streaming and on-air apps, all new shower and fixtures in the bathroom, in-floor heating and on-site parking right at the base of the exterior stairs. Large table in the dining area also create various options to make yourself at home.

Original restored windows frame the view from the living area that has a queen size sofa bed with a top-rated new memory-foam mattress. There is also a new single roll-away bed that makes a comfortable arrangement for family stays. Plentiful bedding is provided for all sleeping options.

Lowell Observatory is a few minutes walk through the trees, as well as frisbee golf and Thorpe Park with a children's playground and tennis courts. Host lives on site and can help with suggestions for places to eat or things to do.

Whether you are on a quick stop-over or on a Northern Arizona extended adventure to see the sites of the Grand Canyon, Sedona or skiing at the AZ Snow Bowl, we are confident your stay at The Perch will be a memorable part of your visit.

We have rented several VRBOs in the past few years in Flagstaff, and this by far was the best!! The description didn't do it justice. It was very spacious for the 4 of us that were staying there. It was very well stocked, providing us with everything we needed, and so clean. And the location couldn't have been better. Just a short drive from downtown, however, you felt like you were so far away from it all, with amazing views, hiking trails right off the back deck, and it was so quiet. And Andy was so easy to communicate with and very responsive. We highly recommend this place.

Incredible setting! What a way to experience Flagstaff. Lot of little delightful things to discover around the house. Woods to ramble in, walk to observatory, look down on the town like a model train village.Comfortable bed!

The perfect Perch

We loved the location atop the ridge over looking Flagstaff. Beautiful sunrises, easy hike to the Lowell Observatory and quick drive to downtown. Very spacious inside, fully and very nicely appointed kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

Andy's flat, which is separate from the rest of his house, was perfect for the two of us. Best of all, the house is right next to the forest at the top of a hill, in a culdesac with only three houses. Great for short hikes, and an easy walk to the Lowell Observatory for anyone who's interested. Andy is very friendly and welcoming. We both would highly recommend The Perch to anyone looking for a getaway in Flagstaff!!

A Week at The Perch

Dynamite location. Three stacked units in the building on the side of Mars Hill with a great view of Flagstaff. Simply but completely furnished. New and sparkling clean. Walking trails in the pines. You will enjoy it!
