About this property

A cozy retreat right in the city with a big deck and view of the mountains. Enjoy this incredibly clean, well-equipped home conveniently located 6 minutes drive from downtown Flagstaff. Its unique hillside location is quiet and beautiful, set amongst the pines with an incredible Mountain View. Has a furnished private deck to enjoy the city and Mountain Views. The quaint neighborhood it is located in is just 1.6 miles from downtown and near to lots of stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. Everything is newly decorated and updated - it’s gorgeous and super cozy! We thought of everything (we think!) to make your stay easy including lots of coffee and condiments. As our reviews reflect, the home is ready for cooking, sleeping, and relaxing in. Our guidebook includes ways to enjoy the town from "professional locals" who have spent tons of time taking out-of-town relatives to all the best sights. Flagstaff is perfectly situated to stay in during trips to Grand Canyon, Sedona, Petrified Forest, Sunset crater, and more.

Enjoy the quiet deck with amazing city and nature views from the large furnished deck and the living/dining area. Grill and relax on the covered landscaped patio or play ping pong! Parking for up to 3 vehicles in the private driveway! The newly renovated kitchen and living room has large windows opening up to a gorgeous view where you can relax and take in the mountain air and watch city lights or pines and peaks. We have equipped the home with lots of games and every amenity we could think of for both kids and adults including a ping pong table. The home is 100% pet-free. It has never had a pet living in it, and since it is kept extremely clean it's great for people with pet or dander allergies. It's in a neighborhood only a few minutes from downtown. A great place to stay if you're wanting fast access to Downtown Flagstaff, NAU, Snowbowl ski area or if you want to do day trips to Grand Canyon, Sedona, the Petrified Forest, and more!

GREAT LOCATION:
The house is only a 3-5 minute drive from downtown Flagstaff and 7 minutes from NAU's campus. It is in walking distance of restaurants, stores and forest service trails that have some of the countries best hiking and biking (one is accessible from the end of the street). We are a 15 minute drive from Snowbowl ski area and 1.25 hours from Grand Canyon and 20 minutes from Oak Creek Canyon & Sedona. The nearby shopping district has lots of great coffee shops and locally owned restaurants as well as national chains.

WELL EQUIPPED KITCHEN & GRILL
We have equipped it with everything you'll need for cooking including cutlery, pots and pans, crock pots, serving dishes, and spices and condiments. Ready too cook just like you were home! We also have lots of coffee and all the goodies to go in it. We supply ground coffee, but there’s a keurig too if you’d like to bring your own pods. The dining area seats 6, but there are two extra chairs in the closet for additional guests.

BATHROOMS
Our bathrooms have plenty of towels and washcloths as well as conditioner, shampoo, lotion and soap.

SLEEPING
The king bedroom has a luxury Leesa king sized bed, and the two other bedrooms have each got queen beds. We also have a full size air mattress in addition to the beds for additional sleeping space. We have plenty of extra pillows and blankets.

AIR CONDITIONING
The two upstairs bedrooms are equipped with new AC units for use in the summer months. The house is north/south facing and with open windows the lower story stays cool with use of the fans even in the couple of weeks that gets really hot here in Flagstaff. (And yes, open windows are safe).

EQUIPPED FOR KIDS
We are equipped with a pack n' play, toys and high chair for guests with small children. Our closets are packed with games.

COUPONS & PERKS
The guest book includes great coupons for nearby restaurants and activities in Flagstaff, Grand Canyon and Sedona.

Comfortable, quiet, and great location.

This was a perfect home to celebrate our eldest son's graduation from college. The master bedroom on the first floor was very comfortable and we appreciated the host provided shampoo/conditioner/bodywash, and the quality linens for both bedding and towels. The kitchen was well equipped with complimentary morning coffee/tea! The back deck is gorgeous. The location is perfect for exploring both Flagstaff and surrounding areas. There is a great trail for hiking/walking off the loop as well. I wish we had booked more days as we only just began to explore Flagstaff itself!

Home with most accurate description

We enjoyed staying at Neal’s family home. Sarah was quick to respond and very respectful of our family privacy and needs. They allowed us to check out an hour later which made us easier for kids to get ready and pack bags. It was a perfect location very near restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Weekend getaway for nieces wedding :)

House was adorable! Well stocked! Even had the “simple things” like a water filter pitcher and ice cubes already made for use in the freezer! We had a full house and the place worked perfect for our family! Super clean! Beds were comfy. We have no complaints! We would definitely stay again!

wonderful home with a view

We had an absolutely delightful stay in this beautiful home. I loved the book that the family left for us- it was so nice reading their story and learning about their favorite things in Flagstaff. We stayed here for 4 nights as a larger road trip from Massachusetts to the Southwest. We took day trips from Flagstaff to Walnut Canyon, Sedona, the Grand Canyon etc. It was wonderful to be able to go out into the desert in the morning and then escape the heat in Flagstaff in the afternoon. The house was exactly as we hoped it would be. I booked the house for the mountain view and I'm so glad that I did. The girls loved all the animal art on the walls and playing the games that were in the closet. My husband loved running through the park just down the street in the mornings which also has a great view of the mountains. Flagstaff is a delightful town and this house was perfect for our family.

Lovely home!

It really is a nice home. Spacious enough for our family of 4. Well supplied. Great view and location. Caution about visiting in summer: only the bedrooms have portable AC units. I understand Flagstaff doesn't need AC most of the year but this is our one vacation and the living area was not hospitable to our family gathering together most of the day. July is hot everywhere!

Amazing and clean house

My family and I stayed here for a wedding, and simply had the best time. The house is VERY clean, well kept, warm, and inviting. We loved the set up of the bedrooms, the patio and view were beautiful to wake up to, and communication with the property manager was seamless. We will be booking this house again in the future!

Roatrip from KC

The house is well taken care of and comfortable. It felt like a nice home away from home. Plenty of space for our family. Only issue for us was that we drove a large vehicle, so getting up and down the drive way was doable, but a bit tight. Overall though we enjoyed the property and the Flagstaff area!

Great house

We were traveling for a gymnastics meet for our girls and wanted a big house to share with 3 families. There were 8 kids and 6 adults and we have plenty of room. The game room and theater room were a big hit. The pool was nice. The only problem we had was that the pool stopped heating up. I messaged the property manager Lilia and she responded immediately and sent a pool guy out. When the pool was still not maintaining the heat, Lilia allowed us to use the pool next door. The kids were so happy to have a warm pool in the winter. The house had plenty of space and a ton of rooms. The theme rooms were so cute too. Kids loved them. on our last day we enjoyed the pool and lazy river at the front of the property which was a nice bonus. The booking process was easy and they answered my questions quickly. I would definitely recommend.

So much snow!

We loved our quick visit to the snow from phx. We were super close to free sledding at Foxglenn park and the house was warm and very cute when we arrived. It was a bit of a challenge to get to with all the ice and snow on the steep hills. We got stuck in the neighborhood but a really kind neighbor helped us out. The driveway was a bit scary bc of the snow but it was cleared when we arrived. There were a few ice patches which made it a challenge for us to get the car in and out but other than that, it was a great visit! We ended up parking at the top of the drive to avoid getting stuck at the bottom.

Fabulous Flagstaff!

This mountain view retreat did not disappoint! In fact, it exceeded our expectations! The hosts, Sarah & Vanessa, were very helpful & quick to respond to our needs! The guidebook provided was full of interesting info to make our stay more comfortable & adventurous! We appreciated the personal touches, too! The home was very clean, comfortable & spacious! We were gifted with a double rainbow across the mountain tops after a rain! The next day the first snow-capped mountain tops of the season appeared! Four friends sharing a bucket list adventure felt right at home! It was a dream come true!

Where to begin. Our week-long stay in your home was everything we'd hoped for and more. Very clean and quite comfortable. The views off the deck were wonderful and the water from the tap tasted great. The house was well furnished starting with the kitchen. All in all, there was plenty of attention to detail, for sure. This home was centrally located for everything we came here to see and enjoy in this area. We felt safe and at home. Thank you Sarah and Vanessa for all you do and for helping make our family vacation to this area memorable. It is much appreciated. Highly Recommended. The Templeton family.

This property was nice and clean- perfect arrangement of beds and baths for our group. The host have tried to really anticipate all your needs when staying away from home. Decorated nicely and maintained. Not 5 stars due to location, neighborhood though centrally located was run down, and lack of air conditioning in living room/ kitchen area. A wall mounted unit would be a great addition to this property. Overall this is a pleasant home.

About the host

Hosted by Neal Family

We built and raised our kids in this beautiful spot. As frequent travelers and VRBO guests ourselves, we were inspired to renovate and convert the house into a retreat. We hope people will enjoy the fantastic location and the gorgeous views from a deck that brought us thousands of hours of enjoyment! We have tried to equip it with everyone one can think of for your stay especially those traveling with families.

Why they chose this property

The views, the proximity to downtown, the quiet private lot, and of course the gorgeous decor that we put our hearts into. It is also fully equipped with everything you can think of for cooking, laundry, sleeping and having fun.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy our large private deck amongst the pines. Furnished to relax or dine outside or in. Also has covered front porch furnished to enjoy in rainy weather and play ping pong on. As an added bonus, this house is right near everything but still feels private amongst the trees on the hillside! There is nearby trail access for mountain biking and hiking at the end of the street. Great spot to visit Flagstaff, Grand Canyon and Sedona from. Our bedrooms have brand new mattresses. We have furnished the house for comfort and convenience and have taken care to include "locals" tips and treats for your visit.
