Peaceful Getaway

Being within walking distance of downtown Flagstaff was very convenient. A quick drive to a pizza shop, a bar, and a coffee shop, it was perfect. We enjoyed our stay very much and cannot wait to go back again soon.

Wonderful Stay

Three of us over 70 year olds enjoyed our six night stay in this historic home. It was a great location to downtown but quiet from all of the hustle and bustle. The deck off of the patio was an especially lovely place to visit. Todd was always available if any issues popped up during our visit.

Perfect location and so quaint!

So much history in this cute old house. Very comfortable and so close to historic downtown! We were able to walk now for the Pinecone Drop on NYE and it was awesome. Shopping and delicious food all within walking distance. Todd was great at communication and had everything we needed to know about the house in a handy binder. We will definitely be back!

Great find in Flag!

This sweet house is in the perfect location to walk downtown. The neighborhood is quiet. Plenty of closet space, comfy beds, and every amenity that you could want. Our favorite was the fire pit and the huge wall of books. Easy access to our host who was super accommodating to our needs. We loved it and will be back!

Great place! Great location! The best host!

This is the cutest historic house in the best location! The host was a pleasure to deal with, and he was very responsive to my questions. It was wonderful to be able to sit out in the yard and know that my small dog was secure in the property with usas he explored.The only reason I didn’t give five stars on cleanliness is just because the floors are original, which is great, but you have to just know that your socks are going to turn a bit dirty because it is impossible to get original wooden floors perfectly clean. Don’t let that steer you away, just being honest and sharing that part. (Wear dark socks!) otherwise everything was clean and comfortable!

Great Flagstaff Experience

This cozy house just on the edge of downtown was perfect for our weekend trip. We could easily walk into downtown for restaurants, and it was easy to get onto the road up to SnowBowl. The house itself was comfortable, cozy and well-equipped in the kitchen as well as games & books.
