About this property

Historic Downtown Carriage House

This upstairs apartment is in a classic looking 1920's stone carriage house in a prime location in center of historic downtown Flagstaff. The property is entirely enclosed with a quaint lighted stone and cedar wall with free off-street parking, stone fire pit and sitting terrace, trees, seasonal flowers and vines, and grassy lawn (Please Note: they all lose their foliage during winter months. Yes, some guests have asked why the landscape color is gone in the winter time ... :). You'll be within just a few minutes walking distance to dozens of shops, restaurants, nightlife, and public transportation. It's warm, cozy, secluded, accessible - you’ll love my place because of the ambiance, the location, and the lighted enclosed exterior and fire-pit stone terrace. This is a perfect place for all types of travelers and activities.

This malapai stone house is a perfect mix of classic and modern, with warm wood interiors and modern updates, including hydronically heated wood floors and a freshly remodeled bathroom. The kitchen is original with a few aesthetic improvements, and the queen bed is new and comfortable. In addition, the entire house is on a charcoal filtration water system.

Cute Carriage House

We had a great stay! Jac was great at communicating with us. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. The outside area was a great place to relax after hiking. The location is perfect for walking downtown.

Spotless and beautiful

The apartment was beautiful and in a perfect location for enjoying downtown Flagstaff. I would have loved to hear more about the history of the building when Jac was showing it to us but we were tired after a long drive and didn’t ask. I do regret that. Perfect spot and I would definitely stay there again.

Amazing Experience

My boyfriend and I came to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon and stayed at this amazing place. It's so cozy and homey I definitely recommend for any couple looking for a place to stay for a good price. The host Jac was very understanding and tried to help us when we got lost. Overall the best Anniversary ever and we will be coming back again. Seriously an amazing place and a cute area.

Charming historic property in the heart of downtown Flagstaff

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a historic carriage house in downtown Flagstaff, Arizona, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The location was perfect, within walking distance to all the attractions downtown, and just a short stroll to a local playhouse where we enjoyed a fantastic performance of Elf the Musical. The property itself was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished with super cute antiques that added a unique charm to the space. The hosts were incredibly nice and informative, providing us with valuable insights about the property and the surrounding areas. One of the highlights of our stay was the abundance of thoughtful extras provided. From coffee and condiments to sunscreen and hairspray, the hosts had thought of everything we could possibly need. It truly felt like a home away from home. Overall, I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a cozy and convenient place to stay in Flagstaff. It exceeded all our expectations and made our trip truly memorable.

About the host

Hosted by Jac Shinaman

Host profile image
My name is John, but I go by Jac. I grew up in Upstate New York, but I've lived and worked in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona for almost 40 years. My job is in Astrogeology for the U.S Geological Survey. It's great work in a great place. I have four grown children, all boys. They are the center of my world! I love outdoor sports, adventure, and travelling to meet new people and see new places. I hope my road takes me to you, or yours takes you to me! Cheers!

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is the old residential west side part of Flagstaff. However, it's also right on the edge of the downtown district and in easy walking distance to everything the city has to offer. City Hall, Wheeler Park, and the public library are just one block away; Northern Arizona University is seven blocks to the south; Flagstaff High School is two blocks north; and Lowell Observatory, Thorpe Park, the local softball fields, and one of Flagstaff's famous disc golf courses are just six blocks to the west. In addition, Basha's grocery store is six blocks up Humphreys Street. This is a classic property in a classic location!
