The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood is excellent for walking. Flagstaff is one of the best-preserved Route 66 towns, and the downtown area is full of historic buildings, signs, and motels that were popular in the mid-20th century.
One of Flagstaff's most famous landmarks on Route 66 is the Lowell Observatory, one of the world’s oldest observatories, where Pluto was first discovered.
One of the most recognizable landmarks in downtown Flagstaff is the historic Hotel Monte Vista, built in 1927 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The hotel is known for its Art Deco architecture and ghost sightings, which have been reported by guests over the years.
In addition to its cultural offerings, downtown Flagstaff is home to many shops, restaurants, and bars. From vintage clothing stores to artisanal coffee shops, there is something for everyone in this bustling area. Whether you’re looking for a unique souvenir, a delicious meal, or a place to relax and enjoy a drink, downtown Flagstaff has it all just steps from our home.
Other Things to Note:
A guest waiver will be sent post-booking and is required to confirm your reservation.
➼Keeping Cool at Altitude
Cooling is provided via central A/C in the main areas (kitchen, primary bedroom, great room) and window units in the two upstairs bedrooms. The rest of the home benefits from Flagstaff’s cool mountain air—just crack a window and let nature do the rest. The bunk bedroom also stays comfortable when doors are left open.
➼Traveling with Little Ones? We’ve partnered with BabyQuip to make family travel easier. Guests can rent a sanitized pack ’n play and high chair, delivered directly to the property for your convenience. Rental costs are the responsibility of the guest and can be arranged easily through BabyQuip.
➼Parking
The home has a spacious driveway that accommodates 2–3 guest vehicles comfortably. You’ll also have access to one garage space for covered parking if needed. Street parking is permitted during the day, but overnight parking is prohibited during winter months due to city snow plowing regulations. Please note that metered parking downtown requires payment, so we recommend using the driveway and garage whenever possible for ease and peace of mind.
➼Winter Guests:
Flagstaff is a magical winter destination—and we make sure you're ready to enjoy it. Our contracted snow removal team clears the driveway whenever snowfall exceeds 3 inches during your reservation, so your arrival and mobility are always a priority. For added convenience, we provide a snow shovel and ice melt at the property to help keep entryways safe during your stay.
Please note: While we prepare the property thoroughly regardless of weather conditions, city-managed street clearing schedules are outside our control. If snow is in the forecast, we strongly recommend arriving before or after the storm and stocking up on groceries in advance. This way, you can enjoy the winter wonderland from the comfort of the home without travel interruptions. Due to these uncontrollable factors, we do not issue refunds for weather-related delays.
➼Pet Policy: Up to 3 dogs are welcome with a $100 fee per dog. Please share their breeds with us in advance so we can ensure the best experience for everyone.
➼No Parties or Events: To maintain the peaceful nature of our neighborhood and the quality of our home, we do not allow parties, events, or unauthorized guests. Flagstaff enforces quiet hours between 10 PM and 6 AM, and we ask all guests to be respectful of our community. House rules are thoughtfully enforced.
➼Hot Tub Use & Guidelines
To keep the hot tub clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone, we kindly ask that guests shower before use to prevent oils, lotions, and debris from affecting the water balance. The hot tub is professionally serviced, but maintaining proper pH levels is a shared effort. Please also avoid glass near the spa and always supervise children. Use the cover when not in use to preserve heat and cleanliness. Thank you for helping us care for this special amenity!
➼Fire Pit Etiquette & Safety
Our propane-fueled fire pit is perfect for evening chats and s’mores under the stars. For safety, never leave the flame unattended, keep a clear area around the pit, and ensure the gas is fully turned off after use. Once cooled, please replace the cover to protect the unit and maintain performance.
➼Neighborhood Noise: Our home is conveniently located near major routes through Flagstaff, which means you may occasionally hear ambient noise from nearby freeway traffic or passing trains. Flagstaff is an active rail corridor, and train activity can occur at any hour of the day or night. We want to set transparent expectations so you can plan accordingly!
