The property is spacious and well maintained. We got off to a rough start however because it wasn't ready at check in time and no communication of that was made. 45 minutes later we got in. Some essential supplies were missing from one house or the other- trash bags, washcloths, etc. but between the two houses we were able to find things we needed. Leeann responded quickly and the supply issues were resolved the next day. Listing says sleeps 24 but be aware you will be charged extra for more than 16. We had 18. Two were 2yo and slept in packnplays we brought. Still got the extra charge. Location is great.

Thank you for your thoughtful review—we’re so glad you enjoyed the space, the condition of the home, and the location. I did want to add a bit of context that may be helpful for future guests. On your arrival day, there was an emergency involving the guests checking out that morning, which delayed our cleaning team’s ability to access the home at their usual start time. As a result, the home was not ready right at check-in, and I sincerely apologize for that inconvenience. I did call and leave a voicemail to let you know we needed a little extra time to finish preparing everything. While situations like this are very rare, we always prioritize making sure the home is thoroughly cleaned and perfectly ready. Regarding supplies, the home was stocked with all essentials including trash bags and washcloths, though they may not have been immediately visible. I’m happy we were able to respond quickly and get you additional washcloths the next day. For occupancy, the listing reflects that the home sleeps 16 guests in beds, which is how the base rate is set. This is based on the actual bed configurations so guests have a clear understanding of sleeping arrangements. Any additional guests—regardless of age—are a modest $15 per person, per night. This helps cover the extra utilities, laundry, and cleaning that come with larger groups, while still offering a much more affordable and comfortable option than multiple hotel rooms. We truly appreciate you staying with us and for sharing your experience—it helps future guests know exactly what to expect.

The home was perfect for our large family, 8 adults and 9 grandchildren. The kitchen was well stocked with large cookware for us to use for making meals. The location was also perfect, the home backed up to a forest we didn’t feel like we were in the city at all. We visited the Grand Canyon, went to Sedona, then the meteor crater. The hosts were very responsive to my questions too! Thank you!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was clean, spacious, and stocked with everything we needed to feel comfortable and enjoy our time there. The owners were friendly and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.We especially loved the large tables—both indoors and out on the deck—which were perfect for family meals and game nights. The kids absolutely loved the bunk room; it was tough to get them to come out!Check-in was simple and straightforward. The check-out process had a few more requirements than we expected, especially considering the 300 cleaning fee, but it wasn’t a big deal for us since we tend to tidy up anyway.A quick note about the trail behind the house—it’s best suited for hiking, as it’s too rocky for biking. Still, the hikes were beautiful and enjoyable.

Hi Cary, thanks for sharing your experience, especially regarding your perspective on bikes on the trails. We have had other guests mountain bike on the trails so I'm not sure which trails you took. Probably good to check out All Trails to get ratings and difficulty levels. Super helpful for future guests, thanks again.

We had a fantastic stay here for our friend reunion. The home was spacious, clean, and incredibly kid-friendly for our group of 7 children ages 2 to 10. The casita and game room were huge hits, and the layout worked perfectly for our group. The hosts were also very easy to communicate with and responsive throughout our stay.We had everything we needed to enjoy time together in the home and to go out on adventures in the local Flagstaff area.

We gathered six households from our extended family in this wonderful Flagstaff home near the base of Mt. Eldon. It had tremendous gathering spaces for adults and children. Our favorite times were evening meals on the deck. We also enjoyed hiking the trails straight out the back of this property. This home has great proximity to downtown Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon.
