Wonderful quiet location with beautiful views
We quite joyed our stay here and used it as it as a launching point to visit the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon, Painter Desert / Petrified Forest, Meteor Crater, and Sunset Crater Volcano. The serenity of the area with the trees around was just icing on the cake. So peaceful! As one reviewer mentioned the layout of the house is a little different but wasn’t too terrible. There were plenty of necessities available the house and a really nice Weber grill on the deck which we really enjoyed. The pool table on the bottom floor provided great evening entertainment. The location is secluded yet close enough to Flagstaff to be able to get anything you need. The house was very clean and the beds were mostly comfortable. The pillows could be improved a bit but were mostly ok. The heating and AC units were adequate but not great. We stayed at a time where we had to use both since the highs were in the upper 80s and the lows in the low 50s. The AC units are quite loud when they run as are the heaters. To be fair that’s made know in the listing. We just haven’t had experience with these before. It wasn’t terrible just something to get accustomed to. The house is very nice but seems a little dated and could you some updates here and there. I can’t say enough about the owners and how friendly they were and so easy to work with. All in all we really enjoyed our trip to the area and our stay in this house.

Great location and great host
This was exactly what we were looking for. We spent 2 days on the mountain skiing, took a short drive to Sedona for ATV rides and spent a day at the Grand Canyon. This location was perfect to see everything we wanted in AZ! The house gave all of us plenty of space to come back and relax after some long days. The hot tub was just the icing on the cake! We will for sure be staying here again!

Beautiful views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! While we found the layout of the home to be a little odd and somewhat dated, the views were great and the home had a plethora of amenities. There were plenty of comfortable beds and a variety of spaces inside and out to enjoy. The location of the home was fantastic, only a quick 15 min drive to Snowbowl or downtown. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay there again!

Excellent Property
We were very impressed with the cleanliness of this rental. This host thought of everything! It provided everything we could have expected and more. I was especially appreciative of the stainless bowls and plastic Snapwear. Thank you for the complimentary Coffee! Loved having the washer and dryer available for use. Kitchen contents are good quality. There was ample supply of towels. Appreciated having 3 King beds and the full-size bunks. Portable air conditioners in each room are a game changer. Watching TV was limited, and streaming was challenging so we missed some baseball games that we had hoped to watch. This seems to be a consistent problem in remote locations. Not a dealbreaker. My family and dogs had the best time in this spacious rental! Would rent again.

Polar Express Family Adventure
We have looked forward to bringing our family over to AZ for the Polar Express Experience for years. We had a fantastic time and your beautiful home added to the experience. The layout was perfect for our three generational family. Everyone had their own space and room to be all together as well. Your host Christi was amazing… if we ever come back to Flagstaff we will definitely use your home again. Happy holidays🍁🎅

Absolutely perfect
My husband and I wanted to spend a long weekend with our 2 daughters, their boyfriends and our 2 small dogs. This house was absolutely perfect for our stay! The house was so clean and well stocked and the area is so beautiful! The beds were very comfortable and the downstairs “playroom” was amazing! We had so much fun playing pool, ping pong and foosball! The owner was so great at communicating and has everything written out for you. We will definitely be planning another family trip back to this house! Thank you so much Christi for allowing us to stay at your beautiful house!

Forest Retreat
This property was very relaxing and beautiful. From the pool table to the jacuzzi, there is always something to do here. The owner/property manager was wonderful to work with and communicated promptly. I will definitely be staying here again as a much needed retreat from time to time. Only thing I would add is some bluray DVD players for snowed in days or general relaxing after activities. The beds were very comfortable and all bathrooms were well stocked. Amazing...

Perfect pup friendly getaway for the 4th of July
This is an incredible rental that lives up to the description, the perfect destination if you are looking for a peaceful getaway. The beds were comfortable, the house has everything you need & if not then the drive to a grocery store or gas station is only10 minutes away. No fireworks trauma for our poodles this year! They loved having Coconino national forest for their backyard during our stay!

Great country spot
Off the beaten path enough to feel like a retreat, yet close enough to be convenient for all activities. Town access is smooth, with Snowbowl, state park, and outdoors at your doorstep. Beautiful views from the decks, spacious house for our group of 7, clean and very comfortable accommodations. Excellent host communication.

Amazing Space Nestled in the Woods
This space is amazing. It slept all ten of us. Between the families we have six older kids ages 11-16 and they had so much fun exploring the woods around the property as well as hanging out in the basement of the cabin. The cabin is clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, we had plenty of towels, toiletries were provided so that was fantastic, the kitchen is stocked with all the appliances needed for cooking, the grill was perfect for our Memorial Fay cookout and there are so many balconies to hang out on and enjoy the cooler weather. The host responded timely to all of my questions.

Family gathering for son’s NAU graduation
The home was lovely and had more extra’s than we could all use. The setting was gorgeous, especially after one night of snow coated the ponderosa pines that surround the property. We had seven adults stay for five nights and had more than enough space. We especially enjoyed the fireplaces, sauna, and game room. Mahalo!
