Beautiful location for our family spring break

This is the perfect location for our family spring break. The house is comfortable, clean and in a great location. We LOVED the hike from the property and really enjoyed a mix of exploring the town and spending time recharging at the house.

Great stay!

We loved this home in Sedona. 4 miles to west Sedona and centrally located to many other towns. The best part is the hiking right out of the back yard. Mike was great and by far the best VRBO host I’ve used.

I spent a month at the gorgeous home in West Sedona. It has everything you could want or need for a comfortable and enjoyable retreat as well as some special treats like a hot tub, espresso machine, and deck with the most amazingly comfortable chairs where you can just sit and enjoy the amazing mountains. The host is awesome and does all he can to make your stay the best it can be. This is my 2nd time staying at this beautiful home and I hope to be back in the not to distant future

We loved our stay at this property! The scenery on the way to the home is spectacular and the location is really fabulous. The home itself is lovely! It is a property where you feel more like a guest than a customer - it's very welcoming, clean and comfortable - and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the backyard setting so much - it is relaxing and peaceful with beautiful landscaping and trees. We never hiked out back so we can't comment on those trails - but Sedona has so much outstanding hiking to offer! We ventured out each day and can't say enough about how amazing this area is! And the hot tub was a real bonus after miles and miles of daily hiking. Mike is a very responsive and helpful host and provides excellent tips and local knowledge in the house manual. 5 stars all around!

Great February Stay

Mike was the best. The property is as advertised and it was great to go out the back gate and get up to Slippery Rock and just look out. I would definitely stay here again. The house was well appointed and Mike had great recomendations.

A realy great place to stay. The scenery in the area is some of the best in Sedona. Nice cozy house and beautiful yard. Star gazing from the comfy patio chairs was great. We cooked our meals in the well stocked kitchen. I hope to visit again.

A great place…

The view, trail access (out the rear gate) relaxing backyard, great beds, lots of amenities! We thoroughly enjoyed the house. After a day of hiking it’s a wonderful respite. The location is convenient just minutes off 89A, in a quiet valley. It’s the home base you need to enjoy all the best of Sedona.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting

The house is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. It has everything you would need and the meticulous care the owner has taken to ensure guest comforts is evident in the details. If we are ever in the area again (which is likely because it has such incredible natural beauty) we would stay here in a heartbeat. Highly recommend !

Amazing host and amazing house

We just stayed there - my husband and I and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and it was amazing. Our host Michael was so accommodating and was so thoughtful. He even supplied passes so we could get into Grand Canyon without having to pay. He thinks of everything. 5+ plus stars. Great communicator and so quick with his responses.

Absolute perfection!

WOW--we had the absolute best time at this total gem. Mike was very communicative when needed, but left us to enjoy the property on our own! The rooms were spacious, the kitchen was incredible, and the natural light flowing in at all times of the day was healing. The hike just out the backdoor provides some of the best views in all of Sedona. I can't say enough good things about this place. I've never been a repeat visitor to a rental but I'm already desperate to get back here!

An Amazing Getaway!

This property was absolutely amazing! The location was perfect and it felt like we were away from everything yet close enough to town to enjoy all the fun activities we had planned. The home had all the amenities anyone could want and then some. We didn’t realize there was a hot tub until we got there so it was a pleasant surprise. As advertised, you can walk right out the back and hike into the red rocks which was amazing! Mike is a great host and responded quickly to any questions we had. He takes beautiful care of the home and property. We definitely plan to come back!

Wonderful house.

This property is really well appointed and in a fabulous location far enough away from the hustle & bustle of Sedona but close enough to get to the many restaurants, stores etc. The house is spotless and is very well-equipped and well-stocked. There are no faults with this house - we loved our time staying in it. The owner is always prompt and responsive to any question. We would definitely return here if we were ever lucky enough to go back tobeautiful Sedona.

Feels like home

The drive to this house is beautiful and the minute we stepped through the door we felt at home. After a day of hiking we enjoyed making meals in the large, well appointed kitchen. We appreciated all of the little touches: yoga mats, blankets, a welcome basket, green cleaning products, comfortable beds, and plenty of areas for lounging. The home is secluded but a short drive to restaurants and activities- and we hiked right out the front door. We highly recommend this home and look forward to returning!

Thoughtful Property Close to Trails

The rental was lovely, very thoughtfully stocked with biodegradable and organic items. We appreciated the gifts of organic tea and chocolate, loved watching the sunset in the outdoor chairs, soft comfy blankets and fantastic tub. The property is very quiet- you can’t hear any cars or road noise at all. Water out of the tap tasted great. Felt safe and very comfortable for two female friends traveling together. Highly recommend the trails in this area and be sure to stop at the viewpoint on the way in!

Lovely stay with easy access to awesome sunset spots

My husband and I stayed at the house with my mother, and it worked out perfectly as each of us had a bedroom with attached bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals, and we enjoyed the extra touches of loose tea and gourmet coffee. Although we couldn't cross the creek (water is too high) to access the trail to Cathedral Rock, it's a photographer's dream with the Secret Slickrock trail a short walk away and Crescent Moon picnic site is just down the road. We enjoyed eating on the patio and sitting on the deck. Although the setting feels rural, it's a 10-minute drive to the grocery store and not far from downtown Sedona or other hiking areas. Very easy check in, and a quick response from the owners if we had any questions.

Amazing Home!

My husband and I loved our stay! The home was spotless and every room was comfortable and homey. The bed in the master bedroom was incredibly comfortable and we really appreciated all the drawer space, extra blankets and full size washer and dryer, especially after full days of hiking. The Adirondack chairs on the back deck was our favorite spot for morning tea and “happy hour”. Dave and Becca were wonderful hosts! What a nice touch to arrive to a welcome note, local chocolate and coffee! The location is perfect for easy access to a variety of hikes. Cathedral Rock is right out the back door and an easy walk up. Several other trailheads are within walking distance. Downtown Sedona is a short 10 minute ride as are at least 3 food stores. We will definitely be back!

Perfection

Truly the best experience to date. Communication was absolutely clear and concise. Property was immaculate and we felt at home. The layout was perfect for 2 couples to have time together and apart. Location was exactly where we wanted to be for our exploration. The amenities were exactly what one would expect with a few extra touches that conveyed you were an honored guest. We felt at home. We also brought a bit of the experience home as both couples have purchased the pot and pan set provided with the house as our experience with them opened our eyes to a better way to cook!! Who does that?? Apparently people who were more than a bit impressed with their hosts!!
