Our stay at Ponderosa cabin

We had an amazing stay at this cozy cabin in Flagstaff! The space was clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect, peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet close enough to downtown for dining and shopping. We especially loved the fireplace and outdoor seating area.

Exactly As Advertised

This was very well decorated and modern, and in a perfect location really close to NAU. We had a school choir group, and it was perfect. They had three floors, so the boys were upstairs, the girls were downstairs, and the chaperones were on the 2nd floor, which made supervision simple. Beds were comfortable, and we had plenty of space. The kids had a great time! I would only add that because there are three floors, and since neither of the two full kitchens are on the same floor as the dining room, you will be climbing up and down the stairs a lot. This was no problem for us, but if there are any accessibility concerns, this could be something to consider.

Perfect for Families!

We had 12 guests in town for a wedding and the property was perfect for get togethers at the family table (had 15 for dinner) and game room in the evenings. Personal space was absolutely perfect when the family was not together. Easy walk to downtown Flagstaff. Great outdoor spaces and patios!

Family Ski Get-away

This property suited our large family for a short stay. There are two sets of long stairs that were a challenge for a roaming toddler, but we were able to set up blockades. The house was perfectly clean except for some dirty dishes we pulled out to use. It would have been useful to have kleenex boxes in the bathrooms, but for the most part, the house was stocked with what we needed. The hottubs were clean and hot - a bonus. The one small issue we had was handled immediately and with a friendly attitude which was appreciated. Thanks!

Very Nice.

The Vrbo fixed nicely for our family of 25. The parking was tight (with trailers and Polaris) but we made it work. A few essentials were missing from the property (having a Vrbo in Phoenix myself) but the host promptly provided them to us. Also, a few minor flaws or repairs were needed which they were kind enough to resolve. It's a great place, close to stores and parks. We would book again!!!

25th Anniversary Family & Friends Trip

Beautiful property with all the amenities you could ask for! We had several families stay with us and we had plenty of room for everyone to congregate as a group as well as spread out into smaller groups. The game room was a favorite for everyone. The hosts are great at communication and so sweet to work with. Would definitely stay here again.

A celebration among the trees!

There were 19 of us and a 1 1/2 yr old toddler who stayed at the property for my parents 60th wedding anniversary celebration. It was perfectly appointed for what we needed, with plenty of room for everyone to sleep and spread out. The property manager was great with communication and we would happily stay here again.

Gathering Treeview

Our stay at the Gathering Tree home in Flagstaff was amazing. The home had ample space for large family and friend gatherings and fun amenities such as 2 hot tubs, a fire pit, pool table, foosebsll, and video games, making it the perfect venue for our son’s graduation from NAU. An additional bonus is it’s location, conveniently located near downtown Flagstaff, the NAU campus, and close to several shops and restaurants. We definitely would stay here again, probably in 2 more years for our other son’s NAU graduation, and highly recommend this property to others looking for a fun Flagstaff getaway!

Perfect place for a team retreat

This home is perfect for a team retreat. We were there with our senior football players and the home gave everyone their own space as well as having a large enough area for everyone to get together for dinners, meetings, etc.. It was also close to all of our activities. We would stay here again for sure.
