About this property

Raven's Grotto

Center your Northern Arizona visit at this sanctuary. Waterfalls and gardens, it is a unique home, say; Woodstock meets Flagstaff (I was a child of the 1960-70’s), in a quiet neighborhood, steps from hiking/biking trails, minutes from downtown Flagstaff, and just off the road to Sedona. Raven's Grotto is a funky, rustic well-loved home. Far from being "new construction", the Grotto is clean, very cozy, and awaits your arrival for a relaxed and renewing stay.

At 7000' Flagstaff, has 4 seasons so the gardens and waterfall are seasonal.

Super cozy stay for me and my dogs! I particularly enjoyed the comfy bed and how well stocked the kitchen was. You don’t need to bring any cooking/baking equipment if you are staying here. Location is great! In a quiet neighborhood but very close to amenities and downtown.

Anniversary at the Grotto

We came to Flagstaff for our 34th wedding anniversary and Raven’s Grotto was perfect! Its location was central to the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff and Sedona. The place was a quaint, quiet(except for the babbling brook to sleep to), eclectic-artistic decor and had everything we needed for our weeks stay. Thanks, Christina!

This property is located in a quiet rural area.Just outside Flagstaff and about 8min drive to downtown. What was important for me.This day was quiet time to decompress a bit. The sunroom, just off the bedroom, had a beautiful waterfall whose sound was very soothing. So if it's a bit of peace and tranquility, that you're looking for consider this property.

Charming, cozy, homey, loved everything about it, including the little babbling brook you can hear from the bedroom if you open the window. Well appointed home, lots of books, games, art supplies, streaming TV should you choose to just stay in and relax. My one and only issue was that upon arrival we were all a bit confused as to which door was for the rental, and which entrance was to something else. For the record, go through the gate, keep walking straight and you'll walk right to the correct door under the covered porch. I very much hope to return to this property again at some point.

Quiet peaceful retreat

Raven’s Grotto VRBO Flagstaff was an ideal location for my husband and adult daughter and I. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood with a great urban trail and forest close by, which was wonderful for our morning and evening walks. It is also very conveniently located to downtown Flagstaff attractions and shopping.Amenities included a small waterfall outside our bedroom window which made for very tranquil and lulling sleep. Christina was very thorough in making sure we had all the necessities and items for our 5 day stay. Everything was well stocked, orderly and clean. She was readily available and helpful answering any of our questions. A great host and friendly, lovely lady!

About the host

Hosted by Christina Norlin

Host profile image
Born in Chicago, I came to Flagstaff to attend NAU in 1976 and never left!

Why they chose this property

Mountain Dell is a rural county island just outside of Flagstaff. I moved here in 1992 and knew this was home for me and my daughter.

What makes this property unique

Raven's Grotto is special because it is the house I raised my daughter and grandson in so it has all the warmth of a real home.
