About this property

Essential Quiet Escape

Get away for a quiet, essential connection with nature in enchanting and prestigious West Sedona.
Our beautiful, spacious family home away from home is situated in a quiet, safe neighbourhood with amazing views.
The location is tough to beat.
Walk 3 mins to Teacup trailhead.
Four grocery stores, restaurants and shops are a 15-minute walk away.
Create memories in comfort.

All the bedrooms have ceiling fans if you prefer not to run the air conditioning.
All the mattresses have been reported as comfortable.
The Main bedroom has a gas fireplace and TV. The ensuite bathroom is generous with a walk-in closet.
The two bedrooms at the other end of the rancher both have a queen bed and a trundle bed, allowing two single guests to sleep comfortably in addition to the queens in each room.
The 2nd bathroom is newly renovated and has a door dividing the sinks, shower/tub, and toilet area.
The 4th room is an office/media room with a TV and a pull-out couch with a new full-foam mattress. There is also a single bed in this room.
Bedside lamps have USB ports for convenience.
We have an ottoman on wheels in the living area that pulls out into a twin.
The living room has a gas fireplace, TV, and a comfortable luxury leather reclining sectional couch.
The dining room table has two extensions and can sit up to 12 easily.
The Kitchen has new large appliances plus a coffee maker, bodem, coffee grinder, electric kettle, juicer, Nutri bullet blender and Instapot. Soft water and reverse osmosis drinking water. Oh yeah!
The washer and dryer are extra large and new.
The double garage allows for safe bike storage; if you are a mountain biker like us, you might be interested in the bike stand and the garden hose.
Outside the patio are a BBQ and (beer) fridge, plenty of seating and a sectional with an excellent table for card games. There is a good space for outdoor yoga; we supply two yoga mats and one roller. It is a private backyard because no one has yet built on the lots behind our home.
We also supply a high chair, booster seat, playpen, baby bath and toys for little ones.
Sorry, no weddings, receptions, conferences, retreats, or parties, respecting the land use code and our quiet neighbourhood.

Sedona 2025

We enjoyed the Loaf accommodations. Plenty of room for 3 teens and 4 adults. The house was very clean. Had a lot of extras that made our stay comfy. The location was perfect for trail hikes, tours, restaurants and shopping. Communication with the owners was answered promptly. If we return to the area would stay here again if available. Thank you!!!

Wonderful stay; would return

Hillary & John were wonderful hosts, their home was in a great location, and very comfortable and well equipped for our group of 8. It is near grocery stores, restaurants, and a basketball and pickleball courts are nearby also! The back yard was perfect for our fur baby. Gorgeous views, close to hiking.

Serenity

My parents, husband and I travelled to Sedona for the first time, and we could not have had a better location. During our stay we ventured out to the Grand Canyon South Rim, Holy Cross Cathedral, West rim, along with some other neighboring towns. Every day on our return we were complimenting the views, privacy, home amenities, and serenity that welcomed us.. the vacation home was beyond fantastic! My husband and I plan to return ourselves, and even though it is much larger than needed, we anticipate going back to Hilary & John's home in light of what we've experienced. Thank you both for helping us obtain wonderful memories while in Sedona. Bernardina & Kevin

Truly the perfect house for a large family in Sedona

Hillary and John were wonderful hosts. The check in process was smooth. They were very responsive with any communication via text or the Vrbo app. The home was amazing. So much charm and amenities. The view or the red rocks in the back yard is stunning. Not too far from the center of Sedona. But close enough to drop our teenagers off for an afternoon and get them later. Close to groceries and restaurants in west Sedona. Really I can’t say enough about this house. There were 8 of us (4 adults and 4 teens). And we had enough room to relax and eat.

Great Location, Everything You Need

This home is in an excellent location, very close to many of the popular hiking trails, restaurants and markets. The home is well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Owners were easy to get a hold of if needed. This is a big home with lots of sleeping spaces for big families or friends.

Our family does a yearly get together after Christmas.We couldn’t gather at my home because, I am working in Sedona this year. So, we rented this property. It was a great space for 10 adults to hang out, eat, drink and be merry. I was hesitant to do this get together as my children are adults and it’s very difficult to get everyone together at the same time. They all came and we had such a glorious time that they asked me to book this house again, for next year. ❤️

Perfect home away from home!

It’s the best place we’ve stayed in our 3 visits to Sedona. Very spacious beautiful home in a great location close to everything with great hosts. The backyard has a grassy area for our little doggies to run around. You can also relax outside on the lounge chairs and star gaze all night. I would definitely want to come back here on my next visit to Sedona. It’s the perfect home away from home.

Mess

Well we got stuck driveway was full of snow and then we had to shovel the drive way with broom and I rake. There’s more but not worth speaking of cause the cleaning fee was refunded but The Bride was stressed out. But over all we made the best of it and was a good weekend

Excellent Workcation

My partner and I Had the opportunity to visit AZ while doing a working vacation. So we needed a larger place with good work space with good Wi-Fi. The fact that this home was also gorgeous, comfortable and had a great view made it a winner in our book. Property was well maintained and well stocked and had more than I could ask for in a home let alone a rental. Hosts were quick to respond with any communications. Would absolutely stay here again

This Sedona getaway is perfectly located for reviewing the various sites in and around Sedona

A wonderful place to stay for our group of 5 adult family members and one adult retriever. Everything we needed to cook was available and there are many restaurants and grocery stores close by to obtain any food cuisine you may desire. The property is located in a neighborhood so it is easy to take walks and to venture to local walking paths just beyond the neighborhood that extend into the mountains. I highly recommend this property for your Sedona visit.
